Figure 1.
Freshly drawn peripheral blood stained with CD146 and antibodies to various markers for lymphocyte subsets. Using forward and side light scatter, a gate was set around the lymphoid region. A second gate was set to exclude any dead cells displaying 7-AAD staining, and a third gate based on pulse width was set to exclude doublets. All of these histograms were gated on these 3 gates. Additionally, the CD4 and CD8 histograms were also gated on the CD3+ cells. (A) CD3 versus CD146; (B) CD19 versus CD146; (C) CD4 versus CD146; and (D) CD8 versus CD146. Arrows indicate CD146+ lymphocyte subsets.
