Representative DotPlots and histograms of the CD3z gating and MFI analysis. A two-gate strategy was employed, using forward scatter (FSC) versus side scatter (SSC) to characterize the previously isolated lymphocytes and CD3ε to determine the T lymphocytes. CD3ζ MFI were determined within the CD3ε-positive population.
