Paramagnetic beads

Manufactured by STEMCELL
Sourced in Canada

Paramagnetic beads are small, uniform magnetic particles used in various laboratory applications. They consist of a magnetic core surrounded by a polymer shell. Paramagnetic beads can be easily manipulated using a magnetic field, making them useful for separation, isolation, and purification processes.

CD4 positive T (CD4+ T) cells were isolated from peripheral mononuclear cells using paramagnetic beads (Stemcell technologies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cell purity was > 90%, which was confirmed by BD LSR II (BD Biosciences). CD4+ T cells were labeled using carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) (BioLegend) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, cultured in the presence of anti-CD3/CD28 (BD Biosciences) (each at final concentration of 2.5 μg/ml) for 2 days and then incubated with A549-atg5-wt or A549-atg5-null cells at a T-cell: A549 cell ratio of 1:5 for the next 2 days. The samples were analyzed by BD LSR II and the results represent the mean ± SD of technical triplicates, each with 30,000 counted cells.

CD4 positive T cells were obtained from peripheral mononuclear using paramagnetic beads (StemCell Technology, Canada) according to manufacturer's protocol. Cells purity was > 90% confirmed by low Cytometry (LSR II, Becton Dickinson). To determine cell division, CD4+ T cells were labeled using Carboxyfluorescein succinimidylester (CFSE, Biolegend, USA) according to manufacturer's instruction. After labeled, T cells were cultured alone in the presence of anti-human CD3 (2.5 μg/ml BD Biosciences) and anti-human CD28 (2.5 μg/ml, BD Biosciences) for 2 days. Before co-culture, SGC-7901 was treated as described in upper functional assay section. Then CD4 positive T cells were collected and incubated with treated SGC-7901 (5:1) for another two days in the presence of anti-human CD3 (2.5 μg/ml, BD Biosciences) and anti-human CD28 (2.5 μg/ml, BD Biosciences). Cell division of CD4+ T cells was analyzed by Flow Cytometry (LSR II, Becton Dickinson).

Single cell suspensions were prepared from fresh colon cancer tissues as previously described (Curiel et al., 2004 (link); Curiel et al., 2003 (link); Kryczek et al., 2006 (link); Zou et al., 2001 (link)). Immune cells and tumor cells were enriched using paramagnetic beads (StemCell Technology, Vancouver, Canada). LinCD45EpCAM+ cells primary colon cancer cells and CD4+CD45+ T cells were sorted from stained single cell suspensions using a high speed cell sorter (FACSaria, Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems, San Jose, CA). Cell purity was >98% as confirmed by flow cytometry (LSR II, BD). Cytokine profile was determined with intracellular staining and analyzed by LSRII (BD).

Single-Cell Sorting of HIV VLP-Positive B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B cell sorting was performed as previously described [18 (link)]. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were isolated by centrifugation on 1.078 density lymphocyte separation medium. CD19+ B cells were separated using paramagnetic beads according to the manufacturer’s instructions (STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver, BC). Then, 2 to 4 x 106 B cells were stained with anti-CD3-PE, anti-CD14-PE, anti-CD19-APC (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and 50 μL of concentrated VLP (containing GFP) preparation on ice for 30 minutes. Flow cytometric analysis and single-cell sorting was performed with a FACSAria III flow cytometer in a Biosafety Level 3 laboratory, equipped with an automated single-cell deposition unit and aerosol containment accessory (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ). Single HIV VLP+/CD19+ cells were collected one cell per well into 96-well cell culture plates (Costar®, Corning Incorporated, Corning, NY), containing RPMI 1640 (Life Technologies, Inc., Rockville, MD) supplemented with 15% gamma-irradiated heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 2.5 μg/mL amphotericin B, 60 μg/mL tylosin, 50 μg/mL gentamicin and 0.1% 2-mercaptoethanol.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
