Overview
Mouse CD49b (DX5) MicroBeads are used for the isolation of mouse NK cells from single-cell suspensions of lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissue, as well as from peripheral blood or body fluids.
Detailed product information
Background information
CD49b is expressed on NK cells and a small population of T cells (CD4
+
CD3
+
TCRα/β
+
). These cells can be depleted prior to NK cell enrichment by using CD90.2 MicroBeads or CD5 (Ly-1) MicroBeads.
CD49b is less mouse strain–specific than other NK cell markers (e.g. NK1.1) and is expressed by the most common inbred mouse strains.
Downstream applications
NK cells isolated with CD49b (DX5) MicroBeads from wild-type or immunodeficient mice were used to study NK cell cytotoxicity
in vitro
or after adoptive transfer of isolated NK cells
in vivo
. Furthermore, isolated NK cells were used to evaluate their role in experimental mouse models of immune-mediated liver injury
and chronic infection
.
