CD11b (Mac-1) MicroBeads
Description Mouse CD11b (Mac-1) MicroBeads are used for the depletion or positive selection of mouse (or human) macrophages and monocytes from lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissue or blood. CD11b is expressed on macrophages/monocytes and to a lower extent on granulocytes, NK cells, and subsets of dendritic cells. Applications CD11b MicroBeads have been used to isolate CD11b+ cells from cell suspensions of spleen1, lymph node2, peritoneal cavity3, liver4, muscle tissue2, or blood5. They were also used in combination with other MicroBeads for the enrichment of mast cells from peritoneal cell suspensions.3 Columns For positive selection: MS, LS, XS, or autoMACSâ„¢ Columns; for depletion: LD, CS, D, or autoMACS Columns.
