NK cell subset is highly cytotoxic even without stimulation, but has little to no cytokine production.

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 majority of all NK cells in the blood. They express killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and CD16 and, accordingly, show strong cell-mediated cytotoxicity as well as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Unlike CD56

⁺

CD16

NK cells, they have a low cytokine production capacity.

Detailed separation procedure

The isolation of CD56

⁺

CD16

⁺

NK cells is performed in a two-step procedure. First, non-NK cells are labeled with a cocktail of biotin-conjugated antibodies and Anti-Biotin MicroBeads und 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 CD16 MicroBeads and isolated from the pre-enriched cell fraction by positive selection over 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 interaction with other cells of the innate and adaptive immune system.

Furthermore, cells can also be used to study the role of NK cells in diseases, e.g., hepatitis infection or cancer, as well as during pregnancy.

NK Cell Magnetic Bead Isolation Kit

CD56+CD16+ NK Cell Isolation Kit, human (130-092-660)

Our lab studies NK cell activity in the context of HIV infection and use purified NK cells from human PBMC. This kit provides reliable isolation of NK cells from this cell source.

NK Cell Isolation Kit

CD56+CD16+ NK Cell Isolation Kit, human (130-092-660)

Our laboratory investigates ways to improve immune responses against HIV, including enhancement of the capacity of NK cells to kill HIV-infected cell. For these studies we set up in vitro ADCC assays with NK cells against infected target cells. As such, we need to purify NK cells and the CD56+ CD16+ selection kit isolates this population at a high purity via a two step process, first depleting all non-NK cells, and then enriching for the CD56 and CD16 positive cells.

Human NK Isolation Kit

CD56+CD16+ NK Cell Isolation Kit, human (130-092-660)

We used this kit in experiments where we were investigating Fc mediated functions of NK cells in the context of HIV infection. For this we needed to isolate NK cells from human PBMCs. This kit was used and consistently resulted in high purity and yield of human NK cells.
