# FR-FCM-Z4UR - Immunophenotyping of T cells, gd T cells and MAIT cells with 28 colour panel

## 1. Overview
This repository is a persistent, "as-is" mirror of flow cytometry data originally deposited in **FlowRepository**. This mirror was created to ensure long-term accessibility and stability of the scholarly record due to the intermittent availability of the original host. This is a 1:1 verbatim mirror, files were duplicated as-is without modification.
