Cell Enrichment Columns are available to purify eosinophils by high affinity negative selection.
Designed to isolate human eosinophils by high affinity negative selection. The column eluate represents a highly enriched eosinophil population with minimal contamination of either CD16+ neutrophils or lymphocytes.
Prepared suspensions of polymorphonuclear granulocytes are incubated with a mixture of monoclonal antibodies and then loaded onto the Eosinophil Enrichment Column. Neutrophils of non-interest and contaminating lymphocytes bind to anti-immunoglobulin (Ig) coated glass beads by F(ab)-surface Ig interactions or by non-specific Fc interactions. The column eluate contains a highly enriched eosinophil population containing < 1% lymphocytes. Recovery ranges between 10 - 30% of all available eosinophils loaded. The purity of recovered eosinophils ranges from 90 to 97%.
