Orchestrating multiplexity in polychromatic science through OMIPs: A decade-old resource to empower biomedical research

Abstract

As the optimized multicolor immunofluorescence panel (OMIP) platform entered its 10th anniversary since its launch, the multicolor flow cytometry landscape has changed significantly. Likewise, OMIPs have continuously evolved to cover larger panel sizes, increasing number of subpopulations profiled in a single panel, and new species. After a decade of contributions to the OMIP platform, a review of this collection, summarizing its content and purpose for the research community, is timely and due. This review provides an overview of OMIPs and a presentation of the depth and diversity of this collection of validated panels, with the expectation that readers will take advantage of them to empower and accelerate their research.
