ImmunoCult™-XF B Cell Base MediumSerum-free and xeno-free base medium for the expansion of B cells
Overview
Available either individually or as part of ImmunoCult™ Human B Cell Expansion Kit. ImmunoCult™-ACF Human B Cell Expansion Supplement is a 50X supplement that can be added to a base medium such as ImmunoCult™-XF B Cell Base Medium to prepare a complete serum-free medium for culturing and expanding human B cells.
Data Figures
Figure 1. Expansion and Maturation of Human B Cells with ImmunoCult™ Human B Cell Expansion Kit
B cells isolated from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (leukopak) using EasySep™ Human Pan-B Cell Enrichment Kit (Catalog #19554) were seeded at 1 x 10^5 cells/well in 24-well tissue culture plates with ImmunoCult™-ACF Human B Cell Expansion Supplement and ImmunoCult™-XF B Cell Base Medium included in the ImmunoCult™ Human B Cell Expansion Kit. The cells were passaged every 3 - 4 days. (A) Fold expansion of viable cells is shown for n = 12 donors, with bars representing the mean and 95% confidence level (range 38- to 1190-fold at day 14 ± 1 day). (B) Expression of CD138 and CD20 was analyzed by flow cytometry at each timepoint (data represent % positive viable cells; mean ± 1 SD). The observed changes indicate maturation of B cells to plasma cells/blasts.
Figure 2. Light Microscopy Image of Cultured Human B Cells
B cells isolated from human PBMCs (leukopak) using EasySep™ Human Pan-B Cell Enrichment Kit were seeded at 1 x 10^5 cells/well in a 24-well tissue culture plate and cultured with the ImmunoCult™ Human B Cell Expansion Kit. The cells were passaged on day 4 after seeding and imaged at 40X magnification on day 6.
Figure 3. Expansion and Viability of Human Memory B Cells Cultured with ImmunoCult™ Human B Cell Expansion Kit
Memory B cells were isolated from human PBMCs (leukopak) using EasySep™ Human Memory B Cell Isolation Kit and were seeded at 0.5 x 10^5 cells/well in 48-well tissue culture plates and cultured with the ImmunoCult™ Human B Cell Expansion Kit. The cells were passaged every 2 - 4 days and the fold expansion of viable cells (A) and cell viability (B) were calculated at each timepoint. Data represent the mean ± 1 SD of triplicate cultures for the same donor.
Figure 4. Expansion and Viability of Human Naïve B Cells Cultured with ImmunoCult™ Human B Cell Expansion Kit
Naïve B cells were isolated from human PBMCs (leukopak) using EasySep™ Human Memory B Cell Isolation Kit and were seeded at 0.5 x 10^5 cells/well in 48-well tissue culture plates and cultured with the ImmunoCult™ Human B Cell Expansion Kit. The cells were passaged every 2 - 4 days and the fold expansion of viable cells (A) and cell viability (B) were calculated at each timepoint. Data represent the mean ± 1 SD of triplicate cultures for the same donor.
