Detailed product information

Background information

The CD4 antigen is expressed on T helper cells and at a lower level on monocytes and dendritic cells. The CD4 antigen is an accessory molecule in the recognition of MHC class II/peptide complexes by the TCR heterodimer on CD4
+
T helper cells.

Detailed separation procedure

One entire buffy coat is labeled with StraightFrom
®
Buffy Coat CD4 MicroBeads and loaded onto Whole Blood Columns, which are placed in the magnetic field of a MultiMACS™ Cell24 Separator Plus or a MACS
®
Separator. After removing the column from the magnetic field, the magnetically retained CD4
+
cells can be eluted as the positively selected cell fraction.

Downstream applications

The purified CD4
+
cells are well suited for further flow cytometric, functional, or molecular analysis.
