Company:

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Product Name:

CellTrace™ Violet Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry

Catalog Number:

C34571

We wanted to study T cell proliferation ex vivo, so we used the reagent to label the cells to be able to trace number of generations following stimulation.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Flow Cytometry

Starting Material

Splenocytes activated with anti-CD3 ex vivo

Tips

Cell labeling concentration may take a bit of optimization. See manufacturer's recoommendation.

Results Summary

Labeling the T cells and stimulating with anti-CD3 led to very clearly defined proliferative generations by flow cytometry.
