MHC Multimer Proficiency Panel
In collaboration with CIC (the US Cancer Immuno-therapy Consortium of the CRI) and CIMT (the European Association for Cancer Immunotherapy), Immudex offers Proficiency Panels as a non-profit service to help researchers and clinicians worldwide evaluate and compare their immune monitoring performance with MHC Multimers.
Using laboratory-specific protocols, antibodies, and flow cytometry, participants determine the number of antigen-specific T cells in provided PBMC samples using MHC multimers and receive a report comparing the results from all participating laboratories.
What You Receive
PBMC samples: identical for all participants*
If requested, MHC Dextramer® reagents free of charge (only pay shipping fees)

Proficiency Performance 2021
In the MHC Multimer Proficiency Panel 2021, all laboratories received identical PBMC samples for identification of antigen-specific T-cells using MHC multimers, and results were collated to assess the relative accuracy of results across the different laboratories. 13 out of 19 participants (68,4%) had a relative accuracy between 0.66 – 1.5 and were considered to be in “the average range” (dark blue columns).
