Description: This panel was developed and optimized to determine the phenotype and activation of 15 different leukocyte subtypes in one run. Leukocytes are identified by expression of CD45 (leu-1) pan leukocyte antigen. Neutrophil (CD16), monocyte (CD14), T- (CD3), B-lymphocyte (CD19), and NK-cell (CD16 and CD56) markers are employed. Special gating strategy is used for subtyping of granulocytes (e.g., eosinophils, neutrophils, basophils). For further T-cell phenotyping, CD4/CD8 markers are used for differentiation of four T-cell subtypes, CD25/CD127 for regulatory T cell identification and CD3/CD16/CD56 for NKT-cells, additionally. Special gating strategies have been developed for B-cell, NK-cell, and monocyte subtyping. For detection and analysis of activation also further activation markers (HLA-DR, CD38, CD25, CD127, and CD69) are analyzed. This panel has been established for analysis of human RBC-lysed EDTA-treated whole blood samples and for cord blood. Since the starting material is fresh EDTA-treated blood, dead cells are probably not an issue. Thus to save one channel for specific staining the vitality staining was not used in the panel.
