Mouse Progenitor Exhausted CD8+ T Cell Markers Flow Cytometry Panel #60395
Product Information
Protocol
Product Description
Cytotoxic T cells are identified by co-expression of CD3 and CD8α. Among these cells, the exhausted progenitor cells are TCF1+PD-1+ cells and are mostly Granzyme B-; the differentiated cells with effector potential are TCF1-PD-1+ and are mostly GranzymeB+. In response to immunotherapy, these progenitor TCF1+PD-1+CD8+ cells can expand and differentiate into TCF1-PD-1+CD8+ effector cells.
Product Usage Information
This panel can be combined with peptide-MHC tetramer staining to identify antigen-specific cells. Tetramer staining is often performed on live cells. If tetramer staining is desired, we recommend comparing activity of the reagent in live cell staining vs. the recommended protocol for the panel. If there is not a significant difference between the two conditions, the tetramer can be included in the antibody panel staining mix. If there is significant loss of activity following fixation and permeabilization, tetramer staining should be done on live cells prior to fixation and permeabilization.
Gating strategy for observing progenitor exhausted CD8+ T cells:
If a fixable viability dye was used, first gate on viable cells. Next, gate on lymphocytes based on forward scatter and side scatter. Cytotoxic T cells are the CD3+CD8+ cells within the lymphocyte gate. Next, observe TCF1 and PD-1 expression on the cytotoxic T cells. Cytotoxic T cells that are TCF1+PD-1+ are exhausted progenitor cells and are expected to be mostly negative for Granzyme B expression. Cytotoxic T cells that are TCF1-PD-1+ are differentiated cells with effector potential and are expected to be mostly positive for expression of Granzyme B.
