CAR Dextramer® hCD19 for Sensitive Detection and Characterization of CD19-Specific CAR Cells
Discover the power of CAR Dextramer® reagents for the sensitive detection and characterization of CAR-positive cells using flow cytometry.
CAR Dextramer® hCD19
CD19 is a key target for CAR T cell therapy, a groundbreaking treatment that has transformed cancer immunotherapy by enabling precise targeting of B-cell malignancies. Accurate detection of CD19-specific CAR T cells is essential for both therapy development and patient monitoring.
Through multimerization of high-quality hCD19 proteins and fluorochrome molecules, CD19 Dextramer® provides researchers and clinicians with a highly precise and sensitive tool for CAR cell detection.
