Product Name:

PerCP anti-human CD4 Antibody

Catalog Number:

317431

In order to discriminate CD4+ T cells from other PBMC, we labeled the cells with the above antibody. Further applications included the characterization of Th1 Th2 cells and regulatory T cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Primary Human PBMC

Primary Incubation

5µl per 1 million cells, incubation 20 Mins on ice in the dark, was 3 times with FACS buffer (PBS, 1% BSA, 0,001% Na Azide)

Blocking Agent

Tru Stain FcX Receptor blocking solution (Biolegend)

Secondary Incubation

None

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Flow Cytometry, Attune Acoustic Focusing Cytometer

Results Summary

This antibody clearly discriminated CD4+ from CD4- cells in order to separate the cells for further downstream panels such as Th1 Th2 or to Treg identification.

Additional Notes

Be sure to Fc Block prior toadding the antibody. When using ledd than 1 million cells you may also reduce the amount of antibody.
