Easily isolate highly purified and magnetic particle-free human cells labeled with biotinylated antibodies from fresh or previously frozen human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and washed leukapheresis samples, by immunomagnetic positive selection, with the EasySep™ Release Human Biotin Positive Selection Kit. Widely used in published research for more than 20 years, EasySep™ combines the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the simplicity of a column-free magnetic system.
In this EasySep™ positive selection procedure, desired cells are first labeled with antibody complexes recognizing biotin and magnetic particles called EasySep™ Releasable RapidSpheres™. Unlike traditional magnetic particles, which stay bound to the target cells, these RapidSpheres™ have a releasable feature. After separation using an EasySep™ magnet, bound magnetic particles are removed from the EasySep™-isolated, biotin antibody-labeled cells using a release agent, and unwanted cells are targeted for depletion. The final isolated fraction contains highly purified biotin+ cells that are immediately ready for downstream applications such as flow cytometry, culture, or DNA/RNA extraction. Following cell isolation with this EasySep™ kit, antibody complexes remain bound to the cell surface and may interact with Brilliant Violet™ antibody conjugates, polyethylene glycol-modified proteins, or other chemically related ligands.
This product replaces the EasySep™ Human Biotin Positive Selection Kit (Catalog #18553), providing highly purified particle-free cells.

Starting with fresh PBMCs, the purities of the start and final isolated fractions are 34.6% and 97.1%, respectively, using a biotinylated anti-human CD45RO
antibody and EasySep™ Release Human Biotin Positive Selection Kit (as assessed by labeling with CD45RO and CD45RA).

Starting with mouse splenocytes, the purities of the start and final isolated fractions are 58.4% and 95.1%, respectively, using a biotinylated anti-mouse CD19 antibody and EasySep™ Release Mouse Biotin Positive Selection Kit (as assessed by labeling with CD19 and CD45R/B220).
Regulatory Programs of B-cell Activation and Germinal Center Reaction Allow B-ALL Escape from CD19 CAR T-cell Therapy.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has led to tremendous successes in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. However, a large fraction of treated patients relapse, often with disease expressing reduced levels of the target antigen. Here, we report that exposing CD19+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cells to CD19 CAR T cells reduced CD19 expression within hours. Initially, CD19 CAR T cells caused clustering of CD19 at the T cell-leukemia cell interface followed by CD19 internalization and decreased CD19 surface expression on the B-ALL cells. CD19 expression was then repressed by transcriptional rewiring. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing, we demonstrated that a subset of refractory CD19low cells sustained decreased CD19 expression through transcriptional programs of physiologic B-cell activation and germinal center reaction. Inhibiting B-cell activation programs with the Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib increased the cytotoxicity of CD19 CAR T cells without affecting CAR T-cell viability. These results demonstrate transcriptional plasticity as an underlying mechanism of escape from CAR T cells and highlight the importance of combining CAR T-cell therapy with targeted therapies that aim to overcome this plasticity.
