This video describes T-cells enrichment from the spleen of a mouse by negative selection using a magnetic separator. The technique involves targeting the other cells in the sample for depletion using antibodies or ligands directed against specific cell surface antigens.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Day 1: Prepare T-cells from the donor mice Use CD45.2+ H2kb+ C57BL/6 wild type (WT) mice as donors for T-cells. Euthanize C57BL/6 mice by carbon dioxide (CO2) asphyxiation and wait for 2−3 min until they are unconscious. Perform cervical dislocation as a secondary euthan…
