The MACSprep PBMC Isolation Kit can be used for the straightforward isolation of PBMCs from 2–10 mL of human whole blood without the requirement of density-gradient centrifugation. This kit offers fast and easy PBMC preparation in only 25 minutes, and the isolation can be easily performed in a two-step separation procedure, resulting in highly pure PBMCs ready to be used for downstream experiments. Fields of application include: PBMC co-cultures for functional immune cell assays, studies on cytokine expression of immune cells upon restimulation, studies on signal transduction during activation of immune cells, and immune monitoring of antigen-specific T cells.
