Clone Number:

UCHT1

We are using the CD3 antibody to characterize the immune cells populations in the mouse intestine during chronic inflammation. This antibody is a poor option to identify T cells, although it can by improved by using an anti-TCRb antibody.

1% BSA supplemented with 4% of mouse serum

Secondary Incubation

None

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Lamina propia cells were analysed by flow citometry using a FACSCanto II (BD).

Results Summary

Lamina propia T cells were identified as CD45+ CD3+ cells.

Summary

The Good

It didn't interfered with the other markers from my FACS panel.

The Bad
