CD235a Positive Cell Isolation Kit
The CD235a Positive Cell Isolation Kit is designed to magnetically separate CD235a-expressing cells from a complex immune cell population. This kit is optimized for the isolation of CD235a positive cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Cells are incubated with the antibody:bead complex and placed on a magnet for quick and easy separation. When placed on the magnet, the CD235a-positive cells are immobilized along the side of the tube while undesired CD235a-negative cells remain in suspension and can be easily removed.

Erythroid cells are non-nucleated cells responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. These cells are of interest in the study of fetal erythroblasts in maternal PBMCs and red blood cell disorders. Depletion of these cells from a mixed sample also allows to study other immune cells. CD235a, also known as glycophorin A, is a marker of erythroid precursors and erythroid cells. In PBMCs derived from healthy individuals, about 0.1-0.2% of the cells are CD235a+ cells.
