The general aim of my research is to study the antigen-presenting potential of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs). The goal of this experiment was to compare the difference in moDC differentiation using fetal bovine serum (FBS) and human AB serum. This product was selected because I was looking for an alternative to PE-Texas Red which bleeds significantly into the PE channel.

Summary

The Good

No significant bleeding into the PE channel. Can be easily compensated.

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Economical since it can be used at a higher dilution and thus lasts for many tests.
