If you do a literature search on the subject you might find
a useful address in Tuebingen, Germany.

Dr. Armin Sallmueller is a very helpful person. He actually
laid out a 6 tube set of for a very comprehensive analysis
to me using supernatants and isotype specific multicolour
second step antibodies from Southern Biotecnology.
Unfortunately the group that had initiated the work went for
a set of FITC labeled antibodies from VRMD which gave far
less information.


Be aware of the CD45 from VRMD to be an IgM. I did not know
until we had finished our study with 'interresting' CD45
results.
Serotec offers an cd45 IgG2a and a whole range of others
including a cd25.

The cross reactivity patterns of anti human CD14 have not
been consistent. Some antibodies only worked with older
pigs. As their immunesystem is changing from NK to T-cell
response within the first 3 to 6 month you might want to use
older ones anyhow - which makes the sampling much more
interesting (don't forget to take a camera).

Dear all,

Does anybody know about monoclonal antibodies against swine leucocytes
subsets:

-pan-leukocytes equivalents to human CD45
-T lymphocytes (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25...)
-B lymphocytes (CD19, CD20 ...)
-Monocytes (CD14, CD11b,c,)
- and also, CD1a, CD34 ????

I thank you in advance for you help

Regards,

Karine Coutant
