Cells Of Interest Magnetic Separation
Direct Labeling • Advantages • Fast • Yields High Purity Cell Populations • Disadvantages • Binding of antibody to surface marker may activate cell • Some cell populations may require multiple markers to be identified
Indirect Labeling • Useful in cases with dim surface marker expression • Allows for amplification of signal • Secondary antibody recognizes • Biotin • FITC • Fc portion of primary antibody • Streptavidin instead of secondary antibody • Recognizes biotin on primary antibody
Depletion Strategy • Unwanted Cells Are Magnetically Labelled And Depleted • Useful In Following Cases • Removal of Unwanted Cells • No specific antibody is available for target cell • Binding of antibody to target cell results in activations
Protocol For Isolation Of CD4+ Cells • 1. Prepare degased buffer
