Description
Easily isolate highly purified and magnetic particle-free CD138+ plasma cells and plasmablasts from single-cell suspensions of mouse splenocytes, bone marrow, or other tissue samples, using immunomagnetic positive selection, with the EasySep™ Release Mouse CD138 Positive Selection Kit. Widely used in published research for more than 20 years, EasySep™ combines the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the simplicity of a column-free magnetic system.
This EasySep™ positive selection procedure involves labeling CD138+ cells with antibody complexes and EasySep™ Releasable RapidSpheres™. Unlike traditional magnetic particles that stay bound to the target cells, RapidSpheres™ have a releasable feature. Desired cells are first labeled with antibodies and these specialized magnetic particles, before being separated, without columns, using an EasySep™ magnet. Unwanted cells are simply poured off, while desired cells remain in the tube. Then, bound magnetic particles are removed from the EasySep™-isolated, CD138+ cells using a release agent. Following magnetic cell isolation with this EasySep™ Release kit in as little as 37 minutes, the desired cells are immediately available for downstream applications such as flow cytometry, cell culture, or hybridoma generation. Antibody complexes remain bound to the surface of the desired cells and may interact with Brilliant Violet™ antibody conjugates, polyethylene glycol-modified proteins, or other chemically related ligands. CD138+ cells isolated from immunized mice are up to 95% pure and can be used with hybridoma generation protocols such as electrofusion.
