• Amazing specificity and sensitivity
  I was impressed with the specificity and sensitivity of this pentamer. It's been invaluable in my research on antigen-specific T cell responses to HIV, especially in post-vaccination studies.
• Great tool for studying HIV vaccine
  Great tool for tracking T cell responses in our HIV vaccine studies. It has enhanced our understanding of T cell dynamics and vaccine-induced immunity.
• Satisfying customer support
  I appreciate the customer support for this product. They provided excellent guidance on usage, which made a big difference in our experimental outcomes.

1. Q 1: What is the recommended storage method and shelf life for the H-2Dd/HIV IIIB gp120 (RGPGRAFVTI) MHC Pentamer?

   A: The shelf life is typically 6 months when stored at 4°C in the dark. For longer storage, aliquot and freeze at -80°C to maintain stability and activity.

2. Q 2: Is it possible to use this pentamer in a multiplex experiment to find numerous antigen-specific T cells at once?

   A: Yes, you can use it in multiplex assays as long as each pentamer is conjugated with a different fluorochrome to distinguish between multiple antigen-specific T cell populations.

3. Q 3: When using fresh or frozen cells, is the H-2Dd/HIV IIIB gp120 (RGPGRAFVTI) MHC Pentamer compatible?

   A: Yes, the pentamer is compatible with both fresh and frozen cells. However, ensure that frozen cells are properly thawed and viable before use.
