CD69 Expression On Activated Lymphocytes Is Stable In Streck's Cyto-Chex® BCT
The purpose of this study was to determine if the activation marker, CD69, is preserved and stable in whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex® BCT. Previous studies have demonstrated CD marker stability of whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex BCT for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature (18-22°C). By Jodi Alt, Ph.D
