Laboratories around the world are invited to participate in Immudex' annual MHC Multimer Proficiency Panel.
In the panel, participants get a chance to assess their proficiency in enumerating antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in the provided PBMC samples, using MHC multimer reagents and flow cytometry.
All participants receive identical PBMC samples which they analyze, using their own laboratory-specific protocols. Participants can use their own type of MHC multimer reagents, or they can receive MHC Dextramer® reagents free of charge. After analysis, participants report their data to Immudex, and a report is combined with results and performance from all participants. The participants’ names and affiliations are kept anonymous.
