BD IMag™ Mouse CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Set - DM
(RUO)Enrichment of CD8 T lymphocytes from mouse spleen. BALB/c splenocytes were labeled with the BD IMag Mouse CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Set - DM (Cat. No. 558471) and separated on the BD IMag™ Cell Separation Magnet(Cat. No. 552311) according to the accompanying protocol. To demonstrate the efficiency of the enrichment, cells were stained with FITC-conjugated anti-mouse CD8a mAb 53-6.7 (Cat. No. 553030/553031) and APC-conjugated anti-mouse CD3e mAb 145-2C11 (Cat. No. 553066) to detect CD8 T lymphocytes. Dead cells were excluded by staining with Propidium Iodide (Cat. No. 556463). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system. Please refer to the Enrichment Flow Chart to identify the cell populations represented in this figure. The percentage of CD8 T cells is indicated in the upper-right corner of each panel. Far left panel shows unseparated splenocytes. Middle left panel shows the combined fraction after three 6-minute magnetic separations. Middle right panel shows the twice-enriched fraction after an additional 6-minute separation of the cells shown in middle left panel. This additional incubation can result in up to 5% increased purity with up to a 5% decrease in recovery. Far right panel shows the positive fraction.

Description
The BD IMag™ Mouse CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Set - DM is used for the negative selection of CD8 T lymphocytes from mouse spleen or lymph node. The Biotinylated Mouse CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Cocktail contains monoclonal antibodies that recognize antigens expressed on peripheral erythrocytes and leukocytes that are not CD8 T lymphocytes. The BD IMag Streptavidin Particles Plus - DM are magnetic nanoparticles that have streptavidin covalently conjugated to their surfaces. With these two components, the BD IMag Mouse CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Set -DM avoids the inadvertent activation of the enriched CD8 T lymphocytes by using reagents that do not directly bind to those CD8 T cells. It has not been tested on the activated mouse cells. This Set has been optimized for use with the BD IMag™ Cell Separation Magnet, and it contains sufficient reagents to label 10^9 leukocytes.
The CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Cocktail component is comprised of the following biotin-conjugated monoclonal antibodies:
Anti-mouse CD4, clone GK1.5
Anti-mouse CD11b, clone M1/70
Anti-mouse CD45R/B220, clone RA3-6B2
Anti-mouse CD49b, clone HMα2
Anti-mouse TER-119/Erythroid Cells, clone TER-119
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
The detailed Magnetic Labeling and Enrichment Protocol follows. In summary, the Biotinylated Mouse CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Cocktail simultaneously stains erythrocytes and most leukocytes except the CD8 T lymphocytes. After washing away excess antibody, BD IMag Streptavidin Particles Plus - DM are added to the cell suspension and bind the cells bearing the biotinylated antibodies. The tube containing this labeled cell suspension is then placed within the magnetic field of the Cell Separation Magnet (Cat. No. 552311). Negative selection is then performed to enrich for the unlabeled CD8 T cells. Labeled cells migrate toward the magnet (positive fraction), leaving the unlabeled cells in suspension so they can be drawn off and retained (enriched fraction). The negative selection is repeated twice to increase the yield of the enriched fraction. If greater purity is required, negative selection may be performed on the enriched fraction. For clarification of the procedure, the magnetic separation steps are diagrammed in the Enrichment Flow Chart. The positive and enriched fractions can be evaluated in downstream applications such as flow cytometry and tissue culture. The antibodies in the Biotinylated Mouse CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Cocktail have been optimized and pre-diluted to provide maximum efficiency for enrichment of CD8 T lymphocytes from peripheral lymphoid organs.
MAGNETIC LABELING AND ENRICHMENT PROTOCOL
1. All labeling and enrichment steps may be performed in either tissue culture medium or sterile 1X BD™ IMag buffer.
-For 1X BD IMag buffer: Dilute BD™ IMag Buffer (10X) (Cat. No. 552362) 1:10 with sterile distilled water or
prepare Phosphate Buffered Saline supplemented with 0.5% BSA, 2 mM EDTA, and 0.1% sodium azide, and store at 4°C.
2. Aseptically prepare a single-cell suspension from the peripheral lymphoid tissue of interest. Remove clumps of cells and/or debris by passing the suspended cells through a 70-µm nylon cell strainer. Cell suspensions can be prepared in tissue culture medium or 1X BD IMag buffer.
3. Count the cells. If the concentration is between 10 x 10^6 and 20 x 10^6 cells/ml, then proceed to Step 3. If cells are more dilute than 10 x 10^6 cells/ml, then spin down the cells and resuspend them in tissue culture medium or 1X BD IMag buffer at a concentration of 20 x 10^6 cells/ml.
4. Add the Bioinylated Mouse CD8 T Lymphocyte Enrichment Cocktail at 5 µl per 1 x 10^6 cells, and incubate on ice for 15 minutes.†
5. Wash the labeled cells with a 10X excess volume of tissue culture medium or 1X BD IMag buffer, centrifuge at 300 x g for 7 minutes, and carefully aspirate ALL the supernatant.
6. Vortex the BD IMag Streptavidin Particles Plus - DM thoroughly, and add 5 µl of particles for every 1 x 10^6 total cells.
7. MIX THOROUGHLY. Refrigerate for 30 minutes at 6°C - 12°C.†
8. Bring the labeling volume up to a concentration of 20 to 80 x 10^6 cells/ml with tissue culture medium or 1X BD IMag buffer.
9. Transfer the labeled cells to a 12 x 75 mm round-bottom test tube, maximum volume added not to
10. exceed 1.0 ml. Place this positive-fraction tube on the Cell Separation Magnet (horizontal position) for 6 to 8 minutes.†
-For greater volume, transfer the cells to a 17 x 100 mm round-bottom test tube, maximum volume added not to exceed 3.0 ml. Place this positive-fraction tube on the Cell Separation Magnet (vertical position) for 8 minutes.†
11. With the tube on the Cell Separation Magnet and using a sterile glass Pasteur pipette, carefully aspirate the supernatant (enriched fraction) and place in a new sterile tube.
12. Remove the positive-fraction tube from the Cell Separation Magnet, and add tissue culture medium or 1X BD IMag buffer to the same volume as in Step 8. Resuspend the positive fraction well by pipetting up and down 10 to 15 times, and place the tube back on the Cell Separation Magnet for 6 to 8 minutes.†
-For 17 x 100 mm tube: Place on the Cell Separation Magnet for 8 minutes.†
13. Using a new sterile Pasteur pipette, carefully aspirate the supernatant and combine with the enriched fraction from Step 10 above.
14. Repeat Steps 11 and 12. The combined enriched fraction contains CD8 T lymphocytes with no bound antibodies or magnetic particles. These cells are ready for downstream applications, or they can be further enriched by proceeding to Step 15.
15. The positive-fraction cells remaining in the original tube can be resuspended in an appropriate buffer or culture medium for downstream applications, including flow cytometry, if desired.
16. To increase the purity of the combined enriched fraction by another 3% to 5% (compare middle left and middle right panels in the figure), place the tube containing the combined enriched fraction on the Cell Separation Magnet for another 6 to 8 minutes.†
-For 17 x 100 mm tube: Place on the Cell Separation Magnet for 8 minutes.†
17. Carefully aspirate the supernatant and place in a new sterile tube. This is the twice-enriched fraction. The cells are ready to be processed for downstream applications.
18. Samples of the total cell suspension and the positive and enriched fractions should be analyzed by flow cytometry to evaluate the efficiency of the cell-separation procedure.
NOTES: Some tissue culture media contain biotin, which may interfere with the binding of the Streptavidin Particles. We recommend Dulbecco's Minimum Essential Medium (DMEM).
† Avoid nonspecific labeling by working quickly and adhering to recommended incubation times.
