This gentle, easy-to-use kit allows you to isolate flow cytometry-compatible human CD4+ T cells from PBMCs or directly from whole blood. The beads are released and removed from the cell sample immediately after positive isolation. In this way, you avoid exposing your cells to potentially cytotoxic or immunogenic foreign matter such as iron oxides or dextran, a potential problem when using biodegradable particles. In addition, your cells will not be subjected to stresses conducted through the column.
Human CD4+ cells with purity levels of >95% and recoveries of up to 75% can be achieved.
Benefits:
• Results are not affected by the isolation method
• Gentle test tube method - no columns required
• High purity and recovery
• Bead-free cells - compatible with flow cytometry analysis
• Live, bead-free CD4+ T cells ready for any cell-based assay
The isolated cells have the expected properties of memory and naive CD4+ T cells, with high proliferation and functional capacity. The kit eliminates contamination of your isolated CD4+ cells (including CD14+ monocytes). This saves you time and money, and gives you greater confidence in your results.
Starting Sample:MNC or Whole Blood
Capacity:
The kit processes 2 × 109 mononuclear cells (MNC) or 80 ml whole blood. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
