摘要

Tracking, isolating, and studying antigen-specific B cells is challenging due to their low frequencies. Here, I describe a protocol to study enriched Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi)-specific B cells by flow cytometry. Compared to alternative strategies (e.g., ELISA and ELISPOT), this approach allows detailed phenotyping and/or cell sorting for downstream analysis of T. cruzi-specific B cells.
