Anti apc microbeads macs

Manufactured by Miltenyi Biotec

Anti-APC microbeads (MACS) are a laboratory tool used for the magnetic separation and isolation of cells expressing the APC (Allophycocyanin) antigen. These microbeads are designed to bind to the APC-labeled cells, allowing for their separation from the rest of the cell population using a MACS (Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting) system.

Total CD4+ T cells were isolated from PBMCs of HIV-infected individuals by negative selection using the CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (MACS, Miltenyi Biotec) on MACS LS columns. This kit contains the cocktail of monoclonal antibodies against CD8, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD36, CD56, CD123, TcRγ/δ, and CD235a. Total CD4+ T cells were then stained with APC anti-human CD32 antibody (clone FUN-2, SONY). CD32+CD4+ T cells were subsequently magnetically labeled with anti-APC microbeads (MACS, Miltenyi Biotec) and isolated by positive selection on MACS MS columns. Sorted CD32+CD4+ and CD32CD4+ T cell fractions were either directly used for HIV DNA and RNA measurements or for the HIV reactivation assay (see below). The relative sizes of the sorted CD32+CD4+ and CD32CD4+ T cell fractions were determined by cellular DNA quantitation in these fractions by qPCR using β-actin detection reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and expressed as percentages of total CD4+ T cells.

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.
