I've been trying to isolate CD8+ activated T cells expressing DR
MHCII molecules on their surface using immunomagnetic beads. Unfortunately,
the beads don't readily separate from the cells afterwards in culture
overnight, and I often can't get enough cells for FACS analysis. Does
anyone know of a gentle way of coaxing lymphocytes off from immunomagnetic
beads - one that won't also alter the cells drastically, as I assume
trypsin would? I would greatly appreciate any comments; please send them
directly to :
mvp@nih.gov. Thaks for your time.
