MAGM208

This kit was used to enrich Tregs from mouse spleen to investigate the therapeutic potential of Tregs in acute neuroinflammatory diseases.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Flow cytometry

Starting Material

Mouse splenocytes

Tips

Proper use of the kit requires a magnet that is not included.

Summary

The Good

Easy to use.

The Bad

Expensive, does not include magnet required for use.

The Bottom Line

This kit works for modest enrichment of Tregs but we have not observed the 80-90% enrichment advertised by R&D.
