The intestine is home to more immune cells than any other non-lymphatic peripheral tissue, but research of these cells is stymied by the technical difficulties involved in isolating them.

This protocol can be used to characterize cells by flow cytometry or single-cell transcriptomics, as in Crotts et al., or by other analysis methods.
