Description: This panel was developed to quantify natural killer (NK) cell subsets in Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) during SIVmac239 infection induced pathogenesis. It includes markers to monitor changes in the activation/proliferation phenotype of up to 12 NK cell populations. The performance of the staining was tested on cryopreserved lymph node samples, and on fresh and cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from EDTA anti-coagulated blood. The panel can be used to characterize NK cells in a range of normal and pathologic conditions of this species and can be easily adapted to stain samples from various tissues.
