Important tip!

Colleagues of ours have just warned us that Miltenyi switched the
clone of anti-human CD8 that they use with their anti-CD8 beads.  The
previous one (BD's SK1) works well with rhesus macacques, but the
current one (BW135/80) apparently does not.  Our colleagues
unfortunately spent several months trying to diagnose the problem
before they found out (with some probing) that Miltenyi changed
antibodies almost 6 months ago without checking if the clone
cross-reacts to rhesus.  Based on the laboratory experience, the
guess is that it very poorly cross reacts (if at all).
