Dynabeads™ Untouched™ Mouse CD4 Cells Kit Invitrogen™
Dynabeads® Untouched™ Mouse CD4 Cells contains both magnetic beads and an Antibody Mix to deplete all leucocytes from mouse spleen or lymph node cells, leaving only the target mouse CD4+ cells. The negatively isolated, untouched mouse CD4+ cells are pure, viable and ready to be used in any downstream application.
• Rapid isolation of untouched mouse CD4+ T-cells – no columns required
• Pure and viable mouse CD4+ T-cells ready for any downstream application
Excellent Yield, Purity, and Viability of Recovered Cells
The Mouse Depletion Dynabeads® suspension contains uniform, superparamagnetic beads (4.5 µm diameter) that enable easy isolation of cells from any single cell suspension. This reagent is therefore especially well-suited for enriching tissue digests such as mouse spleen and lymph node cells. The Mouse Depletion Dynabeads® are coated with a secondary polyclonal antibody that binds rat IgGs. The Antibody Mix contains a cocktail of rat IgGs that binds mouse CD8+ T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, erythrocytes and granulocytes. The Antibody Mix is first added to the sample in a tube to bind the unwanted non-CD4+ cells. The cells are then washed to remove excess antibodies, and Mouse Depletion Dynabeads® are added. After a short incubation, the bead-bound cells are then separated from unbound cells in 1 – 2 minutes using a magnet. The purified target mouse CD4+ cells in the supernatant can be transferred to a new tube for use in any downstream application. This fast and gentle isolation method does not require the use of columns, and helps ensure high purity, recovery and viability of the untouched CD4+ cells. The protocol can easily be scaled up according to your sample size.
For Research Use Only. Not intended for animal or human diagnostic or therapeutic use.

Dynabeads™ SILANE Viral NA Kit Invitrogen™
For sensitive, highly predictable and consistent extraction and isolation of viral DNA and RNA from human serum/plasma samples, following a simple separation protocol. The 1 µm Dynabeads have an optimized silica-like surface chemistry, and a high specific surface area, providing efficient kinetics and a high sensitivity. Their uniform size and surface area ensure reproducible results.

Dynabeads® hold reputable Dynal high standards with respect to within- and between-lot reproducibility and automation ability.
Advantages:
• Isolates viral DNA and viral RNA
• High sensitivity, allowing for a low detection limit
• Effective isolation of nucleic acids even from challenging viruses (e.g. HBV)
• Can detect HBV DNA in a 200 µl serum sample containing only 40 infectious units (using 2 mg (50 µl) Dynabeads®)
• Quicker than spin-columns
• Cost-effective and performs to the same level as spin-columns
• Automation-friendly (slow sedimentation rate + high magnetic mobility)
Applications:
• Isolation of viral nucleic acids (DNA/RNA)
• From human serum/plasma samples
• Well suited for automated assays
• Separate kit available for the isolation of genomic DNA (Cat. no. 370-12D)
Additional Info:
Validation and customization (bead, buffer, protocol or format) can be made available on a custom OEM basis. For further information, please contact us at: ivd@invitrogen.com

MagniSort™ Human CD8 Positive Selection Kit Invitrogen™
The MagniSort™ Human CD8 Positive Selection Kit is designed for the magnetic separation of CD8+ cells by positive selection. It has been optimized for the isolation of CD8+ cells from human peripheral blood monocuclear cells, utilizing a biotinylated Anti-Human CD8 antibody and streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. CD8+ cells are bound by antibody and then magnetic beads. When placed in a magnetic field, the undesired cells can be separated from CD8+ cells by decanting.
After positive selection, the purity of selected cells can be verified by staining with Anti-Human CD8, clones RPA-T8 or SK1.
