Description: This panel was composed and optimized to investigate the differentiation stages of human γδ T-cells in cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy individuals. As the majority of pan-γδ T-cell antibodies available commercially proved to be inappropriate for detecting all γδ T-cell populations in combination with other markers, this panel provides an essential tool for the analysis of different subsets of human γδ T-cells by flow cytometry. The panel works very well with cryopreserved PBMC. Other tissues have not been tested.
