B Lymphocyte Isolation Protocols

Protocol describes the purification of mouse T cells, B cells, and T cell subsets using magnetic bead separation. Isolation of cell subsets using magnetic beads is quick, simple, and reliable and can result in high yields of very pure cells. - [Read Fractionation of T and B Cells Using Magnetic Beads Protocol]

A flow cytometry technique is presented, which results in the selection and isolation of two populations of cells from a complex mixture based on physical properties (e.g., size and internal granularity) and correlated expression of several surface molecules - [Read Isolation of Ly-1+/CD5+ B Cells by Cell Sorting Protocol]

Protocol describes the isolation of resting B lymphocytes (B cells) from mouse spleens by using negative selection with anti-CD43 and anti-Mac-1/CD11b monoclonal antibodies coupled to magnetic microbeads. This strategy depletes non-B cells from a mixed population of splenocytes and relies on the fact that most mature leukocytes, with the exception of resting splenic B cells, express CD43. - [Read Isolation of Resting B Lymphocytes from Sixteen Mouse Spleens Protocol]

This procedure describes the isolation of resting B lymphocytes (B cells) from mouse spleens by using negative selection with anti-CD43 and anti-Mac-1/CD11b monoclonal antibodies coupled to magnetic microbeads. This strategy depletes non-B cells from a mixed population of splenocytes and relies on the fact that most mature leukocytes, with the exception of resting splenic B cells, express CD43. - [Read Isolation of Resting B Lymphocytes Protocol]

Protocol describes a method for isolation and stimulation of lymphocytes. Leukocyte-rich plasma is collected from whole blood and then centrifuged through Ficoll-Hypaque. The collected cells are resuspended in growth medium containing various mitogens to stimulate growth. - [Read Lymphocyte Isolation and Culture Protocol]
