CD4 MicroBeads, human

Product overview

CD4 MicroBeads were developed for the positive selection or depletion of CD4

⁺

cells by direct magnetic labeling. The most commonly used cell sources are peripheral blood, leukapheresis

, and cord blood. In addition, T helper cells have also been isolated from lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, skin biopsies

Detailed product information

Background information

CD4 is an accessory molecule in the recognition of MHC class II/peptide complexes by the TCR heterodimers on CD4

⁺

T helper cells. CD4 is expressed on T helper cells and at a lower level on monocytes and dendritic cells. The CD4 molecule is the receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus. The CD4 antibody recognizes most thymocytes and about 65% of all peripheral blood T cells.

Downstream applications

Isolation or depletion of CD4

⁺

T helper cells is performed in many different fields of research, such as infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, allergy, asthma, and tumor immunology. T helper cells isolated by MACS® Technology remain viable and functional. Therefore, they can be used for further functional studies, such as proliferation assays

¹⁰

and cytotoxicity assays

, as well as for the generation of T cell lines

⁹

. CD4

⁺

T cells purified with CD4 MicroBeads have also been cultured and analyzed for

in vitro

cytokine production.

⁴

Furthermore, they have been used in co‑culture experiments, e.g., for allogeneic stimulation by dendritic cells

or for B cell activation

Reviews for CD4 MicroBeads, human

Miltenyi CD4 Microbeads, Human - Reliable Method for the Magnetic Positive Selection of CD4+ T Cells from Human PBMC

CD4 MicroBeads, human (130-045-101)

Several of our in vitro experiments require purified primary CD4+ T cells . We have worked with total PBMC in the past, but found that using purified CD4+ T cells gave more consistent results. After comparing different cell separation technologies, we settled upon CD4+ Microbeads from Miltenyi given their consistency, quick protocol, and purity of the isolated cells.

MicroBeads For Purification Of Human CD4 Positive Cells

CD4 MicroBeads, human (130-045-101)

We use these beads to purify CD4+ T cells from human PBMCs. The protocol is very straight forward and gives consistent results.

CD4 Magnetic Bead Isolation

CD4 MicroBeads, human (130-045-101)

Our lab studies HIV immunology which requires the isolation of CD4+ cells for in vitro infection. These beads provide a reliable way to isolate this cell population from human PBMCs for downstream applications.
