Methods
General guidelines
This protocol has been developed using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from normal,
healthy donors. The stimulation conditions (cell concentration, incubation time, and reagent
concentrations) may be further optimized for dierent sample types and alternative stimulation
reagents, such as peptides.
In this protocol, the stimulations are performed in bulk, then cells are transferred into 12 × 75 mm
round bottom test tubes for staining. To perform the protocol in 96–well plates, see Appendix B,
96–well plate protocol.
For typical experimental setup, results, and how to gate and analyze data generated with this kit,
see Appendix C, Typical experimental set up and results. An ideal experiment contains:
Single-color compensation controls (prepared with a combination of the included antibodies,
UltraComp eBeads Plus Compensation Beads, and cells of interest)
Isotype control samples (samples stained with viability dye, T cell phenotyping markers, plus
isotype control antibodies in place of Phospho-CD247 (CD3 zeta) (Tyr142))
Fully-stained samples (experimental samples stained with viability dye and all target-specific
antibodies)
Unstimulated, vehicle controls from the same donors, stained with the mixed antibody, isotype
control panel, and the full antibody panel.
Test tube protocol
This protocol is intended for 12 × 75 mm round bottom test tubes. For the 96-well plate protocol, see
Appendix B, 96–well plate protocol.

Stimulate cells with CD3 and CD28
Note: If your experiment requires stimulation with a peptide(s) or other stimulation reagent(s), the
conditions should be determined empirically.
1. Resuspend cells at 2 x 107 cells/mL in complete media.
2. Dilute cells to 1 x 107 cells/mL in complete media.
3. Add 10 µg/mL each of CD3 Monoclonal Antibody (OKT3), Functional Grade, eBioscience and
CD28 Monoclonal Antibody (CD28.6), Functional Grade, eBioscience to the cell suspension. Mix
well, then incubate on ice for 15 minutes.
4. Add 10 µg/mL of F(ab')2-Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, Functional Grade,
eBioscience. Mix well, then incubate on ice for 10 minutes.
5. Transfer the cell suspension to a tissue culture plate or flask.
6. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 5 minutes.
Stain cells with viability dye
1. Prepare a stock solution of LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near IR (780):
a. Thaw DMSO and one vial of lyophilized dye.
b. Add 50 µL of DMSO to one vial of dye, then mix well.
2. Prepare a 2X working solution of LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near IR (780) by adding 2 µL of the stock
solution per 1 mL of PBS (azide-free). You will need the same volume as the cell suspension
prepared in step 1. Protect from light until ready to use.
3. Remove cells from the incubator, add 2X LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near IR (780) at 1:1, then mix well.
4. Incubate for 10–30 minutes at room temperature.

Troubleshooting
Observation Possible cause Recommended action
Poor cell viability before
stimulation
Cell viability conditions were
suboptimal.
Ensure cells are prepared using a validated
protocol.
Resuspend cells in fresh, complete media.
On the day of the experiment, keep cells at
4°C, or on ice until ready to culture.
Cryopreserved cells were used
immediately after thawing.
Allow cells to rest in complete media at 37°C
for 20–30 minutes.
Unable to identify CD3, CD4,
or CD8 expressing cells
The incorrect compensation
was set.
Use the same antibody for compensation as in
the experiment.
Use FMO controls to validate the single-color
compensation.
The incorrect Forward/Side
scatter settings or gating were
set.
Use an ungated plot of CD3, CD4, or CD8.
Backgate onto a forward scatter versus side
scatter plot to determine where cells are, then
adjust voltages and gates accordingly.
Unable to detect
phosphorylation of CD247
(CD3 zeta) on tyrosine 142
The incorrect compensation
was set.
Use the same antibody for compensation as in
the experiment.
Use FMO controls to validate the single-color
compensation.
The stimulation conditions
were not optimized.
Optimize duration of stimulation.
Titrate the concentration of stimulation
reagent(s).
If stimulation reagents are in DMSO, do not
exceed a final concentration of DMSO of 0.5%
(v/v).

Chemical safety
WARNING! GENERAL CHEMICAL HANDLING. To minimize hazards, ensure laboratory personnel
read and practice the general safety guidelines for chemical usage, storage, and waste provided
below. Consult the relevant SDS for specific precautions and instructions:
·Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) provided by the chemical manufacturer
before you store, handle, or work with any chemicals or hazardous materials. To obtain SDSs, see
the "Documentation and Support" section in this document.
·Minimize contact with chemicals. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling
chemicals (for example, safety glasses, gloves, or protective clothing).
·Minimize the inhalation of chemicals. Do not leave chemical containers open. Use only with
sucient ventilation (for example, fume hood).
·Check regularly for chemical leaks or spills. If a leak or spill occurs, follow the manufacturer
cleanup procedures as recommended in the SDS.
·Handle chemical wastes in a fume hood.
·Ensure use of primary and secondary waste containers. (A primary waste container holds the
immediate waste. A secondary container contains spills or leaks from the primary container.
Both containers must be compatible with the waste material and meet federal, state, and local
requirements for container storage.)
·After emptying a waste container, seal it with the cap provided.
·Characterize (by analysis if needed) the waste generated by the particular applications, reagents,
and substrates used in your laboratory.
·Ensure that the waste is stored, transferred, transported, and disposed of according to all local,
state/provincial, and/or national regulations.
·IMPORTANT! Radioactive or biohazardous materials may require special handling, and disposal
limitations may apply.
