Whole Blood CD56 MicroBeads
Description
Whole Blood CD56 MicroBeads were developed for the rapid positive selection of CD56+ cells directly from whole blood or bone marrow, minimizing hands-on time and maximizing yield of target cells. No sample preparation is required, including density gradient centrifugation or erythrocyte lysis.
Whole Blood MicroBeads in combination with the autoMACS® Pro Separator allow standardization of the cell separation procedure and safe handling of hazardous samples.
Details
Background information
The CD56 antigen is expressed by most NK cells and a small subset of T cells. Upon activation of NK cells, the surface expression of CD56 is increased.

Detailed separation procedure
Anticoagulated cell samples of 0.25–15 mL are labeled with Whole Blood CD56 MicroBeads to be subsequently separated with the autoMACS® Pro Separator or the autoMACS Separator, or using the Whole Blood Column Kit.

Downstream applications
CD56+ cells isolated using CD56 Whole Blood MicroBeads are ideally suited for further flow cytometric, functional, or molecular analysis including lineage-specific chimerism analysis after allogeneic stem cell transplantation1,2.
Columns
autoMACS Columns: autoMACS Pro Separator (Program Posselwb; 0.25–15 mL sample volume) or autoMACS Separator (Program Posseld2; 0.25–3 mL sample volume)
Whole Blood Column Kit: for 0.25–15 mL sample volume
 
Figure 1
CD56+ cells were separated from whole blood using Whole Blood CD56 MicroBeads and the autoMACS Separator with program Posseld2. Cells were stained with CD56-PE and CD3-FITC.
