Anti-Fibroblast MicroBeads
Overview
Anti-Fibroblast MicroBeads have been developed for the positive selection or depletion of human fibroblasts. Applications of the Anti-Fibroblast MicroBeads include:
  • depletion of human fibroblasts that are used as feeder cells to support the growth of ES or iPS cells,
  • isolation of MSCs from bone marrow aspirate,
  • removal of fibroblastic cells from bone marrow cultures or other primary tissue cultures,
  • positive selection of fibroblasts from a mixture of cells,
  • depletion of fibroblast cells during establishment of primary tumor cell lines in order to prevent fibroblastic overgrowth within the tissue culture.
Details
Background information
Anti-Fibroblast MicroBeads are based on a fibroblast-specific antigen.1 This antigen is also known to be expressed on mesenchymal stem cells, also known as mesenchymal stromal cells, (MSCs) in the bone marrow.2–4
Columns
For positive selection: MS, LS, XS, or autoMACS Columns.
For depletion: LD, CS, D, or autoMACS Columns.
