This video describes the technique of isolating CD133 negative and positive melanoma stem cells from a primary melanoma cell line using magnetic-activated cell sorting. The CD133 positive melanoma CSCs are further studied to understand the mechanisms of melanoma tumorigenesis.
Protocol
1. Magnetic Cell Sorting of CD133+ and CD133- Melanoma Cells Using LS Columns Prepare MACS buffer containing 2 mM EDTA and 5% FCS in PBS. Mix by inverting and sterile-filtrate buffer using a 0.22 μm Steritop-GP Filter Unit. Chill buffer to 4-8 °C and degas before use. Pre-warm the Accutase, PBS, and Quantum 263 medium to 37 °C. Wash 80% confluent cells with PBS. Add an appropriate amount of Accutase and incubate until cells de…
