Easily Identify and Phenotype CAR-T Cells by Flow Cytometry
After transduction of T cells or NK cells with the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), it is important to assess the degree of transduction (purity) as well as understand the phenotype of transduced cells (potency). Bio-Techne’s fluorescent conjugated antibodies and Fluorokine™ proteins allow you to assess this in one simple staining step.

FluorokinesTM Can be Used with Fluorochrome-conjugated Antibodies to Characterize CD19-CAR-T Cells by Multi-Color Flow Cytometry. Human PBMC CD4+CD8+ T cells transduced with a hCD19-CAR were stained with the following panel of monoclonal antibodies: Alexa Fluor® 700-conjugated Mouse Anti-Human CD14 (Catalog # FAB3832N), PerCP-conjugated Mouse Anti-Human CD45 (Catalog # FAB1430C), PE-conjugated Rabbit Anti-Human CD56/NCAM-1 (Catalog # FAB24086P), Alexa Fluor® 405-conjugated Mouse Anti-Human CD8 (Catalog # FAB1509V), PE-Cy7-CD4, and Alexa Fluor® 594-conjugated Mouse Anti-Human CD62L/L-Selectin (Catalog # FAB9787T), along with the Fluorokine, Recombinant Human CD19 Fc Chimera Atto 647N Protein (Catalog # ATM9269) and detected by flow cytometry. Cells were initially gated on singlets and live cells.

Evaluating CAR Expression on CAR-T Cells Using FluorokinesTM
Evaluating CAR Expression on CAR-T Cells Using FluorokinesTM
One of the current challenges in the field of CAR-T cell therapy is the lack of a simple assay to easily detect and quantify CAR expression following T cell transduction. Read this application note to learn about the advantages of using R&D SystemsTM Fluorokines fluorescent-labeled proteins to directly stain and detect CAR+ cells by flow cytometry.

Flow Cytometry Panel Builder Tool
Flow Cytometry Panel Builder Tool
The Bio-Techne Panel Builder tool is designed to prevent selection of incompatible fluorochromes by blocking channels with excessive spectral overlap. Save time and reduce costly mistakes by quickly finding compatible reagents for multicolor flow cytometry experiments using the Panel Builder Tool.
Fluorescent Conjugated Proteins for CAR Detection
The ability to evaluate the expression of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) following T cell or natural killer (NK) cell transduction is a critical step in the production of CAR-T or CAR-NK cells. FluorokineTM proteins are directly conjugated with fluorescent molecules like Alexa Fluor® 647, Alexa Fluor® 488, Atto 488, and Atto 647. Fluorokines are highly specific, reduce processing time, and eliminate background staining that may occur by indirect detection of the CAR using an epitope-tagged target antigen and a fluorophore-labeled secondary antibody.
