The Non-Human Primate (NHP) compensation set is intended to be used with the NHP T lymphocyte Cocktail (Cat. no. 558625) or the NHP T/B/NK Cell Cocktail (Cat. no. 558639) for instrument compensation. Compensation is the process by which the effect of spectral overlap among flurochromes can be corrected minimizing fluorescence signal spillover in neighboring channels. Traditionally, compensation values are entered into software programs allowing for the adjustment among the overlapping flurochrome emissions. These values can be achieved using single color controls, and verified using fluorescence-minus-one controls, or ad-mixtures of single color controls. The non-human primate (NHP) compensation set is made up of FITC Mouse anti-Human CD3 (clone SP34-2), APC Mouse anti-Human CD8 (clone SK1) and PE Mouse anti-Human CD4 (clone L200). Use this set to properly adjust your FITC/PE/APC compensation matrix for the NHP T Lymphocyte or NHP T/B/NK cell cocktails.
