BioLegend

Product Name:

PE anti-human CD137 (4-1BB) Antibody

Catalog Number:

309803

We are building multi-color flow panels to characterize activation of pTFH cells in chronic HIV infection. We chose to use CD137-PE to detect activated T cells in response to stimulation and it fit well in our 10-color panel.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Human PBMC

Primary Incubation

0.1uL CD137-PE in 200uL PBS with 10^6 cells; 15 minutes; room temperature

Blocking Agent

None.

Secondary Incubation

None.

Tertiary Incubation

None.

Detection

BD LSRFortessa

Results Summary

0.1uL CD137-PE worked well to detect activated T cells after overnight stimulation with SEB (1ug/mL). It yielded the expected frequency of CD137+ CD4+ T cells after an overnight stimulation (~2-3%). CD137-PE worked well in a panel of 10 conjugates and didn't cause any bleedover (as evidenced by FMO controls).
