A simplified flow cytometry method of CD4 and CD8 cell counting based on thermoresistant reagents has implications for large scale monitoring of HIV-infected patients in resource-limited settings. In a recent article published in the journal Cytometry Part B - Clinical Cytometry, scientists in Italy conducted a study "To validate a simplified flow cytometry assay for CD4 and CD8 T cell counting based on monoclonal antibodies which are made resistant to high temperatures (simplified thermoresistant assay (STRA). "The STRA employs FITC-conjugated anti-CD4 and anti-C138 monoclonal antibodies, predispensed into test tubes and chemically treated to...
