ImmunoCult™ for T Cells
ImmunoCult™
Human T Cell Activators
Products:
Application:
Activation and Expansion of T Cells
Description:
Soluble antibody complexes that recognize and cross-link CD3 and co-stimulatory molecules on the surface of the T cell in the absence of magnetic beads or feeder cells. It can be used in combination with ImmunoCult™-XF T Cell Expansion Medium or any other media for culturing human T cells.
Advantages:
- Robust activation and expansion of human T cells without the use of magnetic beads, feeder cells or antigen
- Provides a gentle activation stimulus that maintains high viability of activated and expanded T cells
- Highly stable, filter-sterilized soluble reagent
ImmunoCult™
Human T Cell Expansion Medium
Application:
Expansion of T Cells
Description:
Serum-free and xeno-free medium optimized for the in vitro culture and expansion of human T cells isolated from peripheral blood. It can be used in combination with ImmunoCult™ T Cell Activators for bead-free activation of T cells.
Advantages:
- No need to supplement the medium with serum
- Supports robust T cell expansion at levels comparable to those in serum-containing media
- Maintains similar proportions of CD4+/CD8+ cells to the start of culture after expansion
- Expanded T cells are able to produce cytokines including IFN-gamma and IL-4
ImmunoCult™
Human T Cell Differentiation Supplements
Products:
Application:
Differentiation of T Helper Cell Subsets
Description:
Differentiation supplements containing human cytokines and blocking antibodies formulated to promote the robust activation, expansion, and differentiation of peripheral blood-derived, naïve, CD4+ human T cells into Th1, Th2 or Treg cells.
Advantages:
- Formulated for the induction of human T helper cell differentiation
- Optimized for use with ImmunoCult™-XF T Cell Expansion Medium
- Support significantly higher levels of memory T cells in comparison to competitor differentiation kits
- Supplied as a 50X concentrate; after thawing and mixing, the tube contents can be added directly to medium
