Conformational change of the β2 integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) is an early marker of T cell activation. A protocol using the mAb clone m24 recognizing the active, extended high-affinity conformation has been previously described for the assessment of functional CD4 and CD8 T cells in response to MHC-peptide stimulation. We investigated the applicability of the m24 mAb to detect the activation of γδ T cells in response to different soluble and immobilized stimuli.
