Optimized flow cytometric protocol for the detection of functional subsets of low frequency antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells

Detection of low-frequency cells using flow cytometry is challenging, as the sensitivity of the analysis is dependent on the signal-to-noise ratio, and a cell frequency of 1 in 10,000 cells is accepted as the lower limit of detection for standard flow cytometry. A solution to this problem is to pre-...
