Bio-protocol
I am glad that you thought it was interesting. As to you questions,
1. whole blood staining does not work with all antibodies or cell subsets. For instance, we tried and failed to stain human DC subsets with whole blood staining using a 9 antibody mix. So pilot experiments are needed to determine if your antibodies are compatible with this method.
2. I have no experience with anti-CD44 antibodies.
Hope my answers are helpful.
