Wayne,
	I have not worked with PL cells but would suggest using either
TcR-beta (H57-597) in PE, not FITC or a combination of CD4 and CD8 in the
same color to identify a/b T-cells (PE or FITC OK). These work well with
peripheral blood, LN and spleen cells. Sorry I can't help with a good g/d
clone.

*
*  Hello everyone,
*
*  I just had  a question. Wanted to know if anyone has a good
*  method for
*  murine g/d T cell detection in peritoneal lavage cells of B6
*  and C3H mice.
*  I've simply been using g/d TCR PE (GL3-pharmingen) and CD3 PerCP
*  (145-2C11-pharmingen). Neither of these antibodies have
*  worked very well for
*  us individually(I'm not sure why?) and we have gone pretty
*  much on good
*  faith that together they help us pick out a population
*  (i.e.. cloud) we can
*  work with. The data seems quite 'noisy' and could be improved.
*
*  If anyone has a better antibody or method.
*
*  thanks,
*
