Next-generation immunophenotyping incorporates additional
markers [307, 308]:
Exhaustion Markers
Identifying T-cells with reduced functional capacity due to chronic
stimulation [309, 310]
Senescence Markers
Detecting age-related changes in immune cell function [311, 312]
Functional Activation Markers
Assessing the dynamic response capacity of immune cells [313,
314]
Integration with Other Omics
Combining immunophenotyping with other comprehensive
analyses [315, 316]:
Immunometabolism
Evaluating the metabolic function of immune cells that determines
their activity [317, 318]
Epigenetic Analysis
Assessing modifications that regulate immune cell function and
adaptability [319, 320]
Microbiome Integration
Correlating immune patterns with microbiome composition and
function [321, 322]
