Starting with mouse bone marrow or mouse blood, the CD11b+Ly6G+ cell content of the enriched fraction is typically 88.2 ± 3.2% for bone marrow and 88.6 ± 4.9% for blood (mean ± SD) using the purple EasySep™ magnet. In the above example, the purities of the start and final enriched fractions are 46.6% and 89.1% (bone marrow) and 20.1% and 91.5% (blood), respectively.
Can EasySep™ be used for either positive or negative selection?
Yes. The EasySep™ kits use either a negative selection approach by targeting and removing unwanted cells or a positive selection approach targeting desired cells. Depletion kits are also available for the removal of cells with a specific undesired marker (e.g. GlyA).
How does the separation work?
Magnetic particles are crosslinked to cells using Tetrameric Antibody Complexes (TAC). When placed in the EasySep™ Magnet, labeled cells migrate to the wall of the tube. The unlabeled cells are then poured off into a separate fraction.
Which columns do I use?
The EasySep™ procedure is column-free. That's right - no columns!
How can I analyze the purity of my enriched sample?
The Product Information Sheet provided with each EasySep™ kit contains detailed staining information.
Can EasySep™ separations be automated?
Yes. RoboSep™, the fully automated cell separator, automates all EasySep™ labeling and cell separation steps.
Can EasySep™ be used to isolate rare cells?
Yes. We recommend a cell concentration of 2x108 cells/mL and a minimum working volume of 100 µL. Samples containing 2x107 cells or fewer should be suspended in 100 µL of buffer.
Are the EasySep™ magnetic particles FACS-compatible?
Yes, the EasySep™ particles are flow cytometry-compatible, as they are very uniform in size and about 5000X smaller than other commercially available magnetic beads used with column-free systems.
Can the EasySep™ magnetic particles be removed after enrichment?
No, but due to the small size of these particles, they will not interfere with downstream applications.
Can I alter the separation time in the magnet?
Yes; however, this may impact the kit's performance. The provided EasySep™ protocols have already been optimized to balance purity, recovery and time spent on the isolation.
For positive selection, can I perform more than 3 separations to increase purity?
Yes, the purity of targeted cells will increase with additional rounds of separations; however, cell recovery will decrease.
How does the binding of the EasySep™ magnetic particle affect the cells? is the function of positively selected cells altered by the bound particles?
Hundreds of publications have used cells selected with EasySep™ positive selection kits for functional studies. Our in-house experiments also confirm that selected cells are not functionally altered by the EasySep™ magnetic particles.
If particle binding is a key concern, we offer two options for negative selection. The EasySep™ negative selection kits can isolate untouched cells with comparable purities, while RosetteSep™ can isolate untouched cells directly from whole blood without using particles or magnets.
The PSGL-1-L-selectin signaling complex regulates neutrophil adhesion under flow Stadtmann A et al.
The Journal of Experimental Medicine 2013 OCT
Abstract
Neutrophils are recruited from the blood to sites of inflammation,where they contribute to immune defense but may also cause tissue damage. During inflammation,neutrophils roll along the microvascular endothelium before arresting and transmigrating. Arrest requires conformational activation of the integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1),which can be induced by selectin engagement. Here,we demonstrate that a subset of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) molecules is constitutively associated with L-selectin. Although this association does not require the known lectin-like interaction between L-selectin and PSGL-1,the signaling output is dependent on this interaction and the cytoplasmic tail of L-selectin. The PSGL-1-L-selectin complex signals through Src family kinases,ITAM domain-containing adaptor proteins,and other kinases to ultimately result in LFA-1 activation. The PSGL-1-L-selectin complex-induced signaling effects on neutrophil slow rolling and recruitment in vivo demonstrate the functional importance of this pathway. We conclude that this is a signaling complex specialized for sensing adhesion under flow.
Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Chronically Infected Cystic Fibrosis Patients Fail To Activate the Inflammasome during Both Stable Infection and Pulmonary Exacerbation. Huus KE et al.
Journal of Immunology 2016 APR
Abstract
Immune recognition of pathogen-associated ligands leads to assembly and activation of inflammasomes,resulting in the secretion of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 and an inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis. Inflammasomes are important for protection against many pathogens,but their role during chronic infectious disease is poorly understood. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that persists in the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and may be responsible for the repeated episodes of pulmonary exacerbation characteristic of CF. P. aeruginosa is capable of inducing potent inflammasome activation during acute infection. We hypothesized that to persist within the host during chronic infection,P. aeruginosa must evade inflammasome activation,and pulmonary exacerbations may be the result of restoration of inflammasome activation. We therefore isolated P. aeruginosa from chronically infected CF patients during stable infection and exacerbation and evaluated the impact of these isolates on inflammasome activation in macrophages and neutrophils. P. aeruginosa isolates from CF patients failed to induce inflammasome activation,as measured by the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 and by pyroptotic cell death,during both stable infection and exacerbation. Inflammasome evasion likely was due to reduced expression of inflammasome ligands and reduced motility and was not observed in environmental isolates or isolates from acute,non-CF infection. These results reveal a novel mechanism of pathogen adaptation by P. aeruginosa to avoid detection by inflammasomes in CF patients and indicate that P. aeruginosa-activated inflammasomes are not involved in CF pulmonary exacerbations.
G$\alpha$i2 and G$\alpha$i3 Differentially Regulate Arrest from Flow and Chemotaxis in Mouse Neutrophils. Y. Kuwano et al.
Journal of Immunology 2016 MAY
Abstract
Leukocyte recruitment to inflammation sites progresses in a multistep cascade. Chemokines regulate multiple steps of the cascade,including arrest,transmigration,and chemotaxis. The most important chemokine receptor in mouse neutrophils is CXCR2,which couples through G$\alpha$i2- and G$\alpha$i3-containing heterotrimeric G proteins. Neutrophils arrest in response to CXCR2 stimulation. This is defective in G$\alpha$i2-deficient neutrophils. In this study,we show that G$\alpha$i3-deficient neutrophils showed reduced transmigration but normal arrest in mice. We also tested G$\alpha$i2- or G$\alpha$i3-deficient neutrophils in a CXCL1 gradient generated by a microfluidic device. G$\alpha$i3-,but not G$\alpha$i2-,deficient neutrophils showed significantly reduced migration and directionality. This was confirmed in a model of sterile inflammation in vivo. G$\alpha$i2-,but not G$\alpha$i3-,deficient neutrophils showed decreased Ca(2+) flux in response to CXCR2 stimulation. Conversely,G$\alpha$i3-,but not G$\alpha$i2-,deficient neutrophils exhibited reduced AKT phosphorylation upon CXCR2 stimulation. We conclude that G$\alpha$i2 controls arrest and G$\alpha$i3 controls transmigration and chemotaxis in response to chemokine stimulation of neutrophils.
