Phenotypic and compositional changes of immune cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be used as biomarkers to help diagnose and track disease activity for neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer´s disease (AD). The CSF is the compartment in closest proximity to the central nervous system (CNS) with unique immune cell composition and routine CSF collection is integral for diagnosing various CNS disorders, offering a more practical alternative to assess the CNS. In this study, we described an end-to-end workflow to perform in-depth single-
