Mass cytometry enables highly multiplexed profiling of cellular immune responses in limited‐volume samples, advancing prospects of a new era of systems immunology. The capabilities of mass cytometry offer expanded potential for deciphering immune responses to infectious diseases and to vaccines. Several studies have used mass cytometry to profile protective immune responses, both postinfection and postvaccination, although no vaccine‐development program has yet systematically employed the technology from the outset to inform both candidate design and clinical evaluation. In this article, we review published mass cytometry studies relevant to vaccine development, briefly compare immune profiling by mass cytometry to other systems‐level technologies, and discuss some general considerations for deploying mass cytometry in the context of vaccine development.— Reeves, P.
