Why 100 nm Nanomagnetic Beads Preserve Cell Viability and Function During Immune Cell Isolation

Magnetic bead separationis one of the most widely used methods for isolating immune cells in immunology and immuno-oncology research. But not all magnetic beads are equal. Beyond how pure the isolated population is, a factor that often decides whether an experiment succeeds is what the beads do to the cells: whether they preserve viability, leave […]
How to Isolate High-Purity CD8+ T Cells for Immuno-Oncology Research

CD8+ cytotoxic T cellsare central players in immuno-oncology. They recognize and kill tumor cells, drive responses to checkpoint inhibitors, and are the engineered effector cells behind many CAR-T and TCR-T therapies. Studying or manufacturing with these cells starts with one practical step: isolating them at high purity from a mixed population such as peripheral blood […]
