Product Name:

CD3 Monoclonal Antibody (OKT3), eBioscience™

Catalog Number:

14-0037-82

Clone Number:

OKT3

In order to maximize the transduction efficiency of my primary T cells, I need my T cells to be sufficiently activated. I use this CD3 OKT3 antibody to activate my T cells before transduction and have consistently had high-quality activation.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

T cell activation

Sample

Primary human T cells

Primary Incubation

Prepare antibody into 1 ug/mL into DI water and incubate plate overnight at 4 degrees C.

Blocking Agent

Remove solution, and wash twice with media before plating T cells.

Secondary Incubation

Plate T cells on antibody-coated plate overnight in the incubator

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Flow cytometry

Results Summary

This product along with anti-CD28 mAb helped activate and expand/proliferate my human T cells before lentiviral transduction. CD3/CD28 activation is pertinent for high efficiency transduction and helps to promote high T cell expansion of both CD4 and CD8 subsets.
