Our group studies T cells in the blood of untreated chronic HIV+ individuals. We are constantly expanding and optimizing our T cell panels to measure various T cell subsets, activation, and inhibitory receptor phenotype. We have begun incorporating mass cytometry into our techniques to study T cell phenotypes in greater depth. Detecting CXCR5 expression on CD4+ T cells in the periphery has been a particular struggle for our lab by mass cytometry. While CXCR5 expression is high on B cells, it is dim on circulating CD4 T cells (pTFH cells). CXCR5-171 (clone 51505) or CXCR5 (clone RF8B2) we conjugated ourselves failed to detect the dim expression of CXCR5. CXCR5-153, however, works perfectly to detect both high and dim expression of CXCR5 on human PBMC.

Results Summary

1uL CXCR5-153 worked great to stain human PBMC. The figure below shows how it can detect both dim and high CXCR5 on human CD4+ T cells and CD19+ B cells, respectively. We are very pleased that this clone is commercially available on a this metal in the middle of the panel where detection is optimal.
