The ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28/CD2 T Cell Activator is just excellent. When combined with RosetteSep™ Human CD4+ T Cell Enrichment Cocktail the resulting cultures are like Mt Fuji. That's how well that combination works. The data that we generated using this activator was the highlight of our publication. We really liked this reagent.
