Description

The Human T Cell Isolation Kit is designed to magnetically separate T cells from a complex immune cell population. This kit is optimized for the negative selection of CD3+ T cells from normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Cells are incubated with a mix of antibodies followed by conjugation to magnetic beads. They are then placed on a magnet for quick and easy separation. When placed on the magnet, non-T cells will be immobilized along the side of the tube while untouched T cells will remain in suspension for downstream use.

Background

T cells are important immune cells that have a variety of functions. T cells can wipe out infected or cancerous cells. They also direct the immune response by helping B lymphocytes to eliminate invading pathogens. CD3 is a common T cell antigen while CD4 and CD8 are antigens present on the surface of T-helper and cytotoxic T cells, respectively. In PBMCs derived from healthy individuals, 45-70% of the cells are T cells.
