| Description |
| CD3 MicroBeads were developed for magnetic isolation of CD3+ cells. CD3 is expressed on all T cells and CD56+ NKT cells, and is associated with the T cell receptor. 70–80% of human peripheral blood lymphocytes and 65–85% of thymocytes are CD3+. The epitope recognized by CD3 MicroBeads is located on the CD3ε chain. |
| Applications |
| CD3 MicroBeads are used for the positive selection1,2,3 or depletion4,5,6 of T cells from peripheral blood, bronchial lavage, cell culture, or various tissues such as lymphoid, nasal, and tumor tissue. T cells isolated by MACS® Technology have been used for various studies, e.g., on T cell cytotoxicity, T cell activation1, HIV infectivity2, signal transduction, and surface marker expression.
