cross-reactive Ab for NHP flow

Peter,

If you have a B-D Pharmingen catalog you may have noticed that none
of the Abs listed in the NHP section appear to be available as APC
conjugates. If you look up the same clones in the human section,
however, you will find that several clones are listed as APC
conjugates. For example, the CD2 clone RPA-2.10, CD8 clone RPA-T8,
CD20 clone 2H7, and CD69 clone FN50 all x-r with rhesus and are
listed in the human section conjugated to APC.

Also, the CD4 clone SK3 (rhesus x-r) has been listed in the (old) B-D
Biosciences immunocytometry  catalog as an APC conjugate (though for
some reason it isn't in the current B-D Pharmingen).

I don't know of any x-r CD28 or L-selectin clones that are available
in APC-maybe someone else can help out there.

Take a look at Keith Reiman's NHP reagent database for more
crossreactivity information:

Best regards,

Mandy
