What Our Scientist Says

Traditional isolation of PBMCs requires careful layering of blood onto density gradient media prior to centrifugation. We developed SepMate™ to simplify this process, so anyone can isolate PBMCs with a simple pour while maintaining consistency across samples.

Overview

Simplify peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) isolation by incorporating SepMate™ into your density gradient centrifugation step.

SepMate™ tubes contain an insert that creates a barrier between the density gradient medium and blood, thus eliminating the need for careful blood layering and allowing mononuclear cells to be easily harvested with a simple pour. This product can be used with RosetteSep™ to isolate specific immune cell subsets.

SepMate™ is manufactured under cGMP and registered as an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device in Australia, Canada, Europe, and the USA. In China, SepMate™ is considered a nonmedical device by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) and should be used as general lab equipment. The end user is responsible for determining whether the product is suitable for their specific application.

A highly potent lymphatic system-targeting nanoparticle cyclosporine prevents glomerulonephritis in mouse model of lupus. R. Ganugula et al. Science advances 2020 jun

Abstract

Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a powerful immunosuppressant, but it is an ineffective stand-alone treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) due to poor target tissue distribution and renal toxicity. We hypothesized that CD71 (transferrin receptor 1)-directed delivery of CsA to the lymphatic system would improve SLE outcomes in a murine model. We synthesized biodegradable, ligand-conjugated nanoparticles [P2Ns-gambogic acid (GA)] targeting CD71. GA conjugation substantially increased nanoparticle association with CD3+ or CD20+ lymphocytes and with intestinal lymphoid tissues. In orally dosed MRL-lpr mice, P2Ns-GA-encapsulated CsA increased lymphatic drug delivery 4- to 18-fold over the ligand-free formulation and a commercial CsA capsule, respectively. Improved lymphatic bioavailability of CsA was paralleled by normalization of anti-double-stranded DNA immunoglobulin G titer, plasma cytokines, and glomerulonephritis. Thus, this study demonstrates the translational potential of nanoparticles that enhance the targeting of lymphatic tissues, transforming CsA into a potent single therapeutic for SLE.
A dominant autoinflammatory disease caused by non-cleavable variants of RIPK1 P. Tao et al. Nature 2020

Abstract

Activation of RIPK1 controls TNF-mediated apoptosis, necroptosis and inflammatory pathways1. Cleavage of human and mouse RIPK1 after residues D324 and D325, respectively, by caspase-8 separates the RIPK1 kinase domain from the intermediate and death domains. The D325A mutation in mouse RIPK1 leads to embryonic lethality during mouse development2,3. However, the functional importance of blocking caspase-8-mediated cleavage of RIPK1 on RIPK1 activation in humans is unknown. Here we identify two families with variants in RIPK1 (D324V and D324H) that lead to distinct symptoms of recurrent fevers and lymphadenopathy in an autosomal-dominant manner. Impaired cleavage of RIPK1 D324 variants by caspase-8 sensitized patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells to RIPK1 activation, apoptosis and necroptosis induced by TNF. The patients showed strong RIPK1-dependent activation of inflammatory signalling pathways and overproduction of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines compared with unaffected controls. Furthermore, we show that expression of the RIPK1 mutants D325V or D325H in mouse embryonic fibroblasts confers not only increased sensitivity to RIPK1 activation-mediated apoptosis and necroptosis, but also induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF. By contrast, patient-derived fibroblasts showed reduced expression of RIPK1 and downregulated production of reactive oxygen species, resulting in resistance to necroptosis and ferroptosis. Together, these data suggest that human non-cleavable RIPK1 variants promote activation of RIPK1, and lead to an autoinflammatory disease characterized by hypersensitivity to apoptosis and necroptosis and increased inflammatory response in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, as well as a compensatory mechanism to protect against several pro-death stimuli in fibroblasts.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients, Both Newly Diagnosed and Methotrexate Treated, Show More DNA Methylation Differences in CD4+ Memory Than in CD4+ Na\ive T Cells." K. Guderud et al. Frontiers in immunology 2020

Abstract

Background: Differences in DNA methylation have been reported in B and T lymphocyte populations, including CD4+ T cells, isolated from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients when compared to healthy controls. CD4+ T cells are a heterogeneous cell type with subpopulations displaying distinct DNA methylation patterns. In this study, we investigated DNA methylation using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing in two CD4+ T cell populations (CD4+ memory and na{\{i}}ve cells) in three groups: newly diagnosed disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) na{\"{i}}ve RA patients (N = 11) methotrexate (MTX) treated RA patients (N = 18) and healthy controls (N = 9) matched for age gender and smoking status. Results: Analyses of these data revealed significantly more differentially methylated positions (DMPs) in CD4+ memory than in CD4+ na{\""{i}}ve T cells (904 vs. 19 DMPs) in RA patients compared to controls. The majority of DMPs (72{\%}) identified in newly diagnosed and DMARD na{\""{i}}ve RA patients with active disease showed increased DNA methylation (39 DMPs) whereas most DMPs (80{\%}) identified in the MTX treated RA patients in remission displayed decreased DNA methylation (694 DMPs). Interestingly we also found that about one third of the 101 known RA risk loci overlapped (±500 kb) with the DMPs. Notably introns of the UBASH3A gene harbor both the lead RA risk SNP and two DMPs in CD4+ memory T cells. Conclusion: Our results suggest that RA associated DNA methylation differences vary between the two T cell subsets but are also influenced by RA characteristics such as disease activity disease duration and/or MTX treatment."""
