There was substantial methodological progress to dissect immune responses of livestock species in recent years. In this talk I will provide an overview of tools available to dissect T and B cells analyses in pigs. Furthermore, I will share findings how a combination of scRNA-seq and multi-dimensional flow cytometry can be used for detailed insights into local effector and regulatory phenotypes of T cells in pigs and their association with B cell and antibody responses in the context of immunisation and infection. These findings will be placed into a simple inflammation/ immunoregulation model that may help us to identify phenotypic and functional signatures associated with protective immunity.
