Hi, guys. I want to use MACS-sorted mouse CD4+ T cells to test the effect of an drug and some directors asked me to culture T cells without IL-2/CD3/28 to exclude the effect of these stimulation. However, I cultured it and find that cells under 16h culture broken into pieces when I am using flow cytometry for analysis. May I know how long (how many hours) can I keep MACS-sorted CD4 T cells without IL-2? I found if the culture time is too long they will die, such as 24h. But how long is enough without killing them? May I know your experience in T cells culture?
