“…The ABC values obtained using unimolar conjugates are given in Table 1. The mean value determined for unimolar CD4-PE conjugate (36,800) is slightly larger than that for the standard grade CD4 PE (34,400); both are consistent with the reported values (8). Though our values are MESF values deter mined based on calibration curves generated by using NIST RM 8640, the number of PE molecules per cell obtained based on calibration curves generated by using QuantiBRITE TM PE Quantification kits and unimolar PE conjugates, and calculated antibody bound per cell values for CD20 FITC using CD4 expression on T cells as the biological calibrator.…”

“…1) determined using standard grade anti-CD4 PE and based on calibration curves generated by QuantiBRITE PE Quantification kits is 34,400, with a CV of 5.5%. This value is comparable to the value reported by Davis et al, *38,000 PE molecules, using standard grade CD4 PE from BD Biosciences and freshly prepared blood samples without fixation step (8). The authors showed that the number of PE molecules determined depended on fixation condition, and varied with CD4-PE conjugates obtained from different sources.…”

“…In some cases custom conjugates were used. Cells were fixed prior to analysis, which causes a reduction in CD4 binding, and the number of CD4 antibodies bound per cell was estimated to be 40,000 (18). CS & T beads were analyzed under the same conditions as the CD4 cells, and the fluorescence scale in ABD units was Figure 9.…”

“…When QuantiBRITE PE beads are used in conjunction with PE conjugates with a PE-to-monoclonal antibody (mAb) ratio of 1:1, PE molecules can be converted to ABC (28). Finally, if the antibody-to-antigen binding stoichiometry is known, the number of antigens per cell can be determined (29). PE is an ideal fluorochrome for use with fluorescence quantitation because of its high sensitivity and lack of self-quenching.…”
