Cell Separation
This is a critical technique in cell biology, immunology, and regenerative medicine research.
Various methods are used, including centrifugation, immunoaffinity, and microfluidic separation, to enrich for target cells based on physical or molecular properties.
Efficient cell separation enables detailed study of cellular functions, interactions, and applications.
Accurate and reproducible cell separation protocols are essential for advancing our understanding of complex biological systems and developing effective cell-based therapies.

When CPEs were observed, we scraped cell monolayers with the back of a pipette tip. We used 50 μL of viral lysate for total nucleic acid extraction for confirmatory testing and sequencing. We also used 50 μL of virus lysate to inoculate a well of a 90% confluent 24-well plate.

Example 3
We generated and analyzed a collection of 14 early-passage (passage ≤9) human pES cell lines for the persistence of haploid cells. All cell lines originated from activated oocytes displaying second polar body extrusion and a single pronucleus. We initially utilized chromosome counting by metaphase spreading and G-banding as a method for unambiguous and quantitative discovery of rare haploid nuclei. Among ten individual pES cell lines, a low proportion of haploid metaphases was found exclusively in a single cell line, pES10 (1.3%, Table 1B). We also used viable FACS with Hoechst 33342 staining, aiming to isolate cells with a DNA content corresponding to less than two chromosomal copies (2c) from four additional lines, leading to the successful enrichment of haploid cells from a second cell line, pES12 (Table 2).
Two individual haploid-enriched ES cell lines were established from both pES10 and pES12 (hereafter referred to as h-pES10 and h-pES12) within five to six rounds of 1c-cell FACS enrichment and expansion (
Both h-pES10 and h-pES12 exhibited classical human pluripotent stem cell features, including typical colony morphology and alkaline phosphatase activity (
Haploid cells are valuable for loss-of-function genetic screening because phenotypically-selectable mutants can be identified upon disruption of a single allele. To demonstrate the applicability of this principle in haploid human ES cells, we generated a genome-wide mutant library using a piggyBac transposon gene trap system that targets transcriptionally active loci (

Isolation of High-Density Neutrophils
10 ml of heparinized (20 U/ml) human blood is mixed with an equal volume of 3% Dextran T500 in saline and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature to sediment erythrocytes. A 50 ml conical polypropylene tube is prepared with 10 ml sucrose 1.077 g/ml and slowly layered with a leukocyte-rich supernatant on top of the 1.077 g/ml sucrose layer prior to centrifuging at 400×g for 30 minutes at room temperature without brake. The high-density neutrophils (HDN) appear in the pellet. Low-density neutrophils (LDN) co-purify with monocytes and lymphocytes at the interface between the 1.077 g/ml sucrose layer and plasma.
The HDNs may be tested in a CKA assay described herein. Haematopoietic cells are suitably obtained from a donor having HDNs.
CG was obtained from Perstorp Holding AB, Sweden. The glycerol concentration was specified as 80%; however, there were differences from batch to batch. For the cultivations described here, the same batch was used as in the bioreactor experiments in [13 (link)]. HH was generated from wheat straw, after steam explosion and enzymatic digestion. Pretreatment was performed at Lund University, Sweden, as described previously [16 (link)]. Briefly, the straw was soaked with 1% acetic acid overnight, and then steam exploded at 190 °C. The liquid fraction, representing the solubilised hemicellulose, was removed from the solid fraction by pressing and used in the experiments. HH contained 26.2 g/L xylose, 7 g/L glucose, 6.6 g/L acetic acid and small amounts of arabinose (< 0.5 g/L). The nitrogen content was 0.6 g/l [27 (link)]. The pH was set to 6 by addition of appropriate amounts of 5 M NaOH [13 (link)]. The C/N-ratios were 32.5 for CGHH and 30.7 for CG.
Samples for RNA-isolation and determination of the concentrations of biomass, carbon sources and lipids were isolated from R. toruloides CBS14 cultures grown at different growth conditions: they were taken from CG cultures after 10 h, 30 h, and 60 h and from CGHH cultures after 10 h, 36 h, and 60 h. Cell dry weight was determined gravimetrically, and glucose, xylose, acetic acid and arabinose were determined by HPLC [17 (link)]. Lipid content was measured using FT-NIR, as described previously [28 (link)]. Cell samples for RNA isolation (3 mL) were rapidly collected in Falcon tubes and placed in ice to decrease sample temperature.
