Memory T cells in the rat

Dear flow cytometry mailing list,

We have published on an HIV-1 transgenic rat that has immunologic
dysfunction.  Recently we have shown that
these rats also seem to have a Th1 deficit. I would like to isolate the
naive (CD45RC+ and CD62L+) CD4 T-cell population by negative selection.
Currently I can isolate the CD45RC+ population but this population is
contaminated (20%) with CD62L- effector/memory T-cells. Does anyone know
of available antibodies that can be used to remove the memory T-cell
contamination from my CD45RC+ T-cell pool?   You can contact me at
202-256-2984 or e-mail  reid@umbi.umd.edu.

Thank you for any help.
