Pre-enrichment of untouched Pan-DCs from human PBMCs using the Pan-DC Enrichment Kit, human, a MidiMACS Separator and an LS Column. The cells were fluorescently stained with CD303 (BDCA-2)-FITC, CD141 (BDCA-3)-APC, CD1c (BDCA-1)-PE, and CD20-PerCP and analyzed by flow cytometry using the MACSQuant® Analyzer. Cell debris, dead cells, and B cells were excluded from the analysis based on scatter signals, propidium iodide fluorescence, and CD20 expression.

Specifications for Pan-DC Enrichment Kit, human

Overview

The Pan-DC Enrichment Kit is a fast pre-enrichment kit for untouched isolation of plasmacytoid and myeloid dendritic cells from PBMCs.

Detailed product information

Detailed separation procedure

Using the Pan-DC Enrichment Kit, dendritic cells (MDC1s, MDC2s, and PDCs) are isolated very fast in a single step by depletion of non-target cells (negative selection). Non-target cells are labeled with a cocktail of biotin-conjugated monoclonal antibodies and Anti-Biotin MicroBeads. Additionally, they are directly magnetically labeled with a cocktail of MicroBead-conjugated antibodies against antigens that are not expressed by dendritic cells. The magnetically labeled non-target cells are depleted by retaining them within a MACS Column in the magnetic field of a MACS Separator while the unlabeled DCs run through.

Downstream applications

Dendritic cells pre-enriched with the Pan-DC Enrichment Kit can be used for:

Analysis of antigen uptake, processing, and presentation
Stimulation of primary T cell responses by antigen-pulsed dendritic cells
Analysis of gene expression in blood dendritic cells
Elucidation of specific signal transduction pathways
