We study T cells in untreated chronic HIV infection. We chose CD4-PECy5 because it worked well within our 13-color flow cytometry panel.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Human PBMC

Primary Incubation

1uL CD4-PECy5 in 200uL PBS with 10^6 cells; 15 minutes; room temperature

Blocking Agent

None.

Secondary Incubation

None.

Tertiary Incubation

None.

Detection

BD LSRII Flow Cytometer

Results Summary

1uL CD4-PECy5 worked great in a 13-color panel to detect CD4+ T cells ex vivo and in vitro with and without overnight SEB stimulation (1ug/mL). AF700 and APC FMOs indicated there was no signal bleedover from CD4-PECy5 into those channels, which were used in our 13-color panel.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

CD4-PECy5 works great @ 1uL; no bleedover into APC or AF700 channels

The Bad

None.

The Bottom Line

CD4-PECy5 is a great option for staining for CD4 T cells in human PBMC.
