IBA Lifesciences CD31 Fab-TACS™ Agarose Column Starter Kit

Label-free isolation of CD31+ cells from whole blood, buffy coat or PBMCs

Brand:  IBA Lifesciences 6-3216-002

Product Code. 17257740

Description

• Fab-TACS™ - Traceless Affinity Cell Selection - is a positive cell isolation approach based on our Strep-tag™ technology
• CD31 Fab-TACS™ Agarose column Starter Kit allows label-free isolation of human CD31⁺ cells from whole blood, buffy coat, PBMCs or other cell suspensions
• CD31 is also known as platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1) and expressed on different cell types including endothelial cells, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes.
• Strep-Tactin™ TACS Agarose columns are filled with Strep-Tactin™ coated agarose macrobeads developed for cell isolation
• Fab fragments fused to a Twin-Strep-tag™ (Fab-Streps) bind to the matrix
• Target cells adhere to the matrix based on the exclusive binding of the Fab-Strep to a surface marker. Non-target cells are efficiently washed away
• In a final step, the addition of biotin causes the elution of the target cells and the Fab-Streps
• After elution, the Fab-Streps self-dissociate from the cell surfaces due to their reduced affinity
• The label-free authentic target cells are now ready for further downstream applications
