This video demonstrates T cell isolation from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using the functionalized buoyancy-activated cell sorting (BACS) technology. The isolation technique involves the positive selection of CD3+ T cells by labeling the cells with biotinylated anti-CD3 antibodies and separating the antibody-bound cells using streptavidin-bound microbubbles.
Protocol
1. Isolation of T cells with microbubbles using positive selection NOTE: This protocol details a small-scale CD3+ positive selection approach using SAMBs. Incubate 3 x 108 commercially obtained PBMCs in 2.5 mL of separation buffer with biotinylated anti-CD3 (OKT3) antibody at a concentration of 25 ng of antibody per 1 million cells (25 ng/M). Gently mix by pipetting up and down, and incubate at room temperature for 10 min.</li…
