| Description |
| Rat CD43 MicroBeads have been developed for the isolation of untouched resting B cells from lymphoid tissue. The CD43 antigen (leukosialin) is expressed on virtually all rat leukocytes except resting B cells. As a result of magnetic labeling with CD43 MicroBeads, non-naive B cells and other CD43+ cells are retained on the column, whereas resting B cells stay untouched and are collected in the column effluent. |
| Applications |
| Untouched resting B cells isolated with CD43 MicroBeads can be used for studies on B cell development and function. |
