Has anyone assessed SLAMF7 (CD319) expression on T-cell ex vivo from human samples ? just wondering if a resting period after thawing cryopreserved cells can increase its expression and if yes, how long the rest should be ...
Please check the IMMGEN database for expression data on purified T cell populations from PBMCs. Unfortunately, it seems that there is very little SLAMF7 expression on T cells in general, at least for non-activated/ naive cells.
It seems only effector memory T cells show robust expression, but these you might have to re-stimulate, if you can't detect the ca. 20-30% in PBMCs in your healthy donors, as per:
