Detailed product information

Background information

NK cells represent a highly specialized lymphocyte population of the innate immune system, playing an important role in early immune response.

NK cells can be divided into several subsets according to function and phenotype. CD56

⁺

CD16

^–

NK cells represent the minority of all NK cells in the blood. They lack expression of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and, accordingly, neither show strong cell-mediated cytotoxicity nor antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). They are potent producers of cyokines, predominantly IFN-γ, thus linking innate and adaptive immune system.

Detailed separation procedure

The isolation of CD56

⁺

CD16

^-

NK cells is performed in a two-step procedure. First, non-NK cells and CD56

⁺

CD16

⁺

NK cells are labeled with a cocktail of biotin-conjugated antibodies and Anti-Biotin MicroBeads and subsequently depleted by separation over a MACS® Column, which is placed in the magnetic field of a MACS Separator. In the second step, the target cells are labeled with CD56 MicroBeads and isolated by positive selection from the pre-enriched cell fraction by using a second column.

Downstream applications

Cells isolated using the CD56

⁺

CD16

^-

NK Cell Isolation Kit can be used for the phenotypical and functional characterization of NK cell subsets, for the analysis of receptor expression, cytokine secretion, or cell-cell interactions.

⁴

Furthermore, cells can be used to study the role of NK cells in diseases or pregnancy.

Columns

For the first magnetic separation (depletion): LS or autoMACS
