This video demonstrates a protocol for the magnetic labeling-based isolation of a low-concentration population of CD4+Vδ1+γδ T cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Using a combination of FITC-conjugated anti-Vδ1 antibodies, magnetic anti-FITC microbeads, and anti-CD4 antibody-coated superparamagnetic beads, the CD4+Vδ1+ T-cells can be successfully purified from the PBMC population.
All procedures involving human participants have been performed in compliance with the institutional, national, and international guidelines for human welfare and have been reviewed by the local institutional review board.
