EasySep™ Release Human CD45 Positive Selection Kit

Figure 1. EasySep™ Release Human CD45 Positive Selection Kit

Starting with a single-cell suspension of a human breast cancer tumor xenograft (MDA-MB-231) sample from an NRG-3GS humanized mouse, the CD45+ TIL purities of the start and final isolated fractions are 5.5% and 96.0%, respectively.
NOTE: Cell debris and dead cells were excluded from the analysis based on DRAQ5™ and DAPI fluorescence.

Mass cytometry data comparing the composition of immune subsets in PBMCs and EasySep™-isolated cells from the same donor. Starting with whole blood, PBMCs were prepared by density gradient centrifugation using Lymphoprep™. To compare immune subset composition pre- and post-EasySep™ isolation, a fraction of the PBMCs was further isolated using EasySep™ Release Human CD45 Positive Selection Kit and the pre- and post-isolated fractions were assessed by mass cytometry (CyTOF®). t-SNE plots of cells stained with 19 markers and analyzed by CyTOF® are shown (n = 1).

Figure 3. EasySep™-Isolated CD45+ Cells Produce IFN-gamma in Response to Antigen and Mitogen Stimulation

PBMCs pre- and post-EasySep™ isolation were incubated for 24 hours in the presence of peptide pools (CEF for antigen-specific CD8+ T cell response and CPI for antigen-specific CD4+ T cell response) or mitogen (phytohemagglutinin [PHA]). Following incubation, ELISpot plates were processed and IFN-gamma-producing cells were counted using an AID ELISpot reader. Representative images of ELISpot assays are shown (n = 3).

Figure 4. CD45+ Cells Isolated by EasySep™ from Various Tissues Are Highly Purified

A humanized mouse tumor model was generated by engraftment of human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells into NRG-3GS mice followed by xenotransplantation with human cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer) or SKOV-3 (ovarian carcinoma). Starting with a single-cell suspension of spleens, lungs, bone marrow, or tumors, human CD45+ leukocytes were isolated using EasySep™ Release Human CD45 Positive Selection Kit. The starting frequencies and isolated purities of human CD45+ cells of individual experiments and averages are shown.
