| Description |
The Slan (M-DC8) Monocyte Isolation Kit was designed for the magnetic separation of human Slan (M-DC8)+ cells. The kit contains CD3 MicroBeads for efficient depletion of contaminating T cells, FcR Blocking Reagent and Anti-Slan (M-DC8) MicroBeads.
Slan (6-Sulfo LacNAc) is a carbohydrate modification of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), characteristically expressed on a new subset of PBMCs with features closely related to CD16+CD14low monocytes. Freshly isolated Slan (MDC-8)+ cells produce TNF-α following stimulation with LPS. Moreover, they are involved in antibody-dependant cell-mediated cytotoxicity and promote proliferation, IFN-γ production and tumor directed cytotoxicity of NK cells. Upon stimulation with IFN-γ, Slan (M-DC8)+ cells possess the ability to directly lyse tumor cell lines in vitro. Additionally, Slan (M-DC8)+ cells are potent producers of early IL-12 upon stimulation. |
| Applications |
| The Slan (M-DC8) Monocyte Isolation Kit can be used for the positive selection of Slan (M-DC8)–expressing cells. |
| Columns |
For the first magnetic separation (depletion): LD or autoMACS™ Columns.
For the second magnetic separation (positive selection): MS or autoMACS Columns. |
