| Description |
| The Eosinophil Isolation Kit is an indirect magnetic labeling system for the isolation of untouched eosinophils from human peripheral blood. Non-eosinophils (i.e. T cells, B cells, NK cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells, monocytes, and erythroid cells) are indirectly magnetically labeled by using a cocktail of biotin-conjugated antibodies against CD2, CD14, CD16, CD19, CD56, CD123, and CD235a (glycophorin A), as well as Anti-Biotin MicroBeads. Highly pure eosinophils are obtained by depletion of the magnetically labeled cells. |
| Applications |
| The Eosinophil Isolation Kit can be used for the isolation of eosinophils for functional studies, studies on signal transduction, activation mechanisms, or cytokine production. |
