Product Name:

Dynabeads® Mouse CD4

Catalog Number:

11445D

Our lab commonly isolates CD4+ T cells from mice to perform in vitro experiments. To isolate this cell population with high purity and yield, Dynabeads are used.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cell isolation/positive selection of cells

Starting Material

Mouse lymph nodes and spleen

Protocol Overview

Isolate lymph nodes and spleen from mouse, grind and spin, wash pellet, resuspend pellet in 5ml cell culture media, add 80uL cells, incubate at 4*C with rotation for 35 minutes, pellet beads+cells, wash, resuspend and detach cells from beads

Tips

Adjust volume of beads and DETACHaBEADS from the recommended volume suggested by the supplier to maximize cell isolations

Results Summary

A high purity of cells is achieved with large yields and great viability.
