Flow cytometry is one of the most widely used techniques for the detection of surface markers on various cells, particularly the cells of the immune system, at a single-cell resolution. Modern flow cytometers can identify rare cell population in highly heterogeneous samples. Here we present a protocol that allows a precise detection of basophils as well as eosinophils and neutrophils in induced sputum samples. The identification of sputum basophils and other granulocytes contributes to a better understanding of the cellular network that promotes and regulates inflammation of the lower respiratory tract.
