Tumor-infiltrating leukocytes (TILs) represent a minority of the complete cell population within tumor tissue. In this application protocol, we describe a time-saving workflow that overcomes this limitation and increases sensitivity of downstream analyses. Mouse tumor tissue is dissociated into a viable single-cell suspension and TILs (CD45+) are enriched via MACS® Technology.

PBE buffer: Prepare a solution containing phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, 0.5 % bovine serum albumin (BSA), and 2 mM EDTA by diluting MACS BSA Stock Solution 1:20 with autoMACS Rinsing Solution. Keep buffer cold (2−8 °C). Prepare buffer fresh and degas prior to use.
▲ Note: EDTA can be replaced by other supplements such as anticoagulant citrate dextrose formula-A (ACD-A) or citrate phosphate dextrose (CPD). BSA can be replaced by other proteins such as mouse serum albumin, mouse serum, or fetal bovine serum (FBS). Buffers or media containing Ca2+ or Mg2+ are not recommended for use.
