Figure Lengend Snippet: Multi-Check , StatusFlow and CD4 Count (low CD4 level) were prepared using the CD3/CD4 reagent kit on product stored at 4°C (D0) and products stored for 1 day at 37°C (D1). Analysis required first setting cursors around the CD3 cells population FSC×CD3 PECy5 dot plot and then isolating the CD4 positive cells cluster on CD4PE×CD3PECy5.
