Overview

Easily and efficiently isolate highly purified human T cells directly from human whole blood samples by immunomagnetic negative selection, with the EasySep? Direct Human T Cell Isolation 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? negative selection procedure, unwanted cells are labeled with antibody complexes and magnetic particles called EasySep? Direct RapidSpheres?. The following unwanted cells are targeted for removal: B cells, monocytes, granulocytes, and dendritic cells. The magnetically labeled cells are then separated from the untouched desired T cells by using an EasySep? magnet and simply pouring or pipetting the desired cells into a new tube. Following magnetic cell isolation, the desired T cells are ready for downstream applications such as functional assays, flow cytometry, culture, or DNA/RNA extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can EasySep™ be used for either positive or negative selection?

Yes. The EasySep™ kits use either a negative selection approach by targeting and removing unwanted cells or a positive selection approach targeting desired cells. Depletion kits are also available for the removal of cells with a specific undesired marker (e.g. GlyA).

How does the separation work?

Magnetic particles are crosslinked to cells using Tetrameric Antibody Complexes (TAC). When placed in the EasySep™ Magnet, labeled cells migrate to the wall of the tube. The unlabeled cells are then poured off into a separate fraction.

Which columns do I use?

The EasySep™ procedure is column-free. That's right - no columns!

How can I analyze the purity of my enriched sample?

The Product Information Sheet provided with each EasySep™ kit contains detailed staining information.

Can EasySep™ separations be automated?

Yes. RoboSep™, the fully automated cell separator, automates all EasySep™ labeling and cell separation steps.

Can EasySep™ be used to isolate rare cells?

Yes. We recommend a cell concentration of 2x108 cells/mL and a minimum working volume of 100 µL. Samples containing 2x107 cells or fewer should be suspended in 100 µL of buffer.

Are the EasySep™ magnetic particles FACS-compatible?

Yes, the EasySep™ particles are flow cytometry-compatible, as they are very uniform in size and about 5000X smaller than other commercially available magnetic beads used with column-free systems.

Can the EasySep™ magnetic particles be removed after enrichment?

No, but due to the small size of these particles, they will not interfere with downstream applications.

Can I alter the separation time in the magnet?

Yes; however, this may impact the kit's performance. The provided EasySep™ protocols have already been optimized to balance purity, recovery and time spent on the isolation.

For positive selection, can I perform more than 3 separations to increase purity?

Yes, the purity of targeted cells will increase with additional rounds of separations; however, cell recovery will decrease.

How does the binding of the EasySep™ magnetic particle affect the cells? is the function of positively selected cells altered by the bound particles?

Hundreds of publications have used cells selected with EasySep™ positive selection kits for functional studies. Our in-house experiments also confirm that selected cells are not functionally altered by the EasySep™ magnetic particles.

If particle binding is a key concern, we offer two options for negative selection. The EasySep™ negative selection kits can isolate untouched cells with comparable purities, while RosetteSep™ can isolate untouched cells directly from whole blood without using particles or magnets.

Novel sACE2-Anti-CD16VHH Fusion Protein Surreptitiously Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Variant Spike Proteins and Macrophage Cytokines, and Activates Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity Vaccines 2025 Feb

Abstract

Background/Objectives: The SARS-CoV-2’s high mutations and replication rates contribute to its high infectivity and resistance to current vaccinations and treatments. The primary cause of resistance to most current treatments aligns within the coding regions for the spike S protein of SARS-CoV-2 that has mutated. As a potential novel immunotherapy, we generated a novel fusion protein composed of a soluble ACE2 (sACE2) linked to llama-derived anti-CD16 that targets different variants of spike proteins and enhances natural killer cells to target infected cells. Methods: Here, we generated a novel sACE2-AntiCD16VHH fusion protein using a Gly4Ser linker, synthesized and cloned into the pLVX-EF1alpha-IRES-Puro vector, and further expressed in ExpiCHO-S cells and purified using Ni+NTA chromatography. Results: The fusion protein significantly blocked SARS-CoV-2 alpha, beta, delta, gamma, and omicron S-proteins binding and activating angiotensin-converting enzyme receptor-2 (ACE2) on ACE2-expressing RAW-Blue macrophage cells and the secretion of several key inflammatory cytokines, G-CSF, MIP-1A, and MCP-1, implicated in the cytokine release storm (CRS). The sACE2-Anti-CD16VHH fusion protein also bridged NK cells to ACE2-expressing human lung carcinoma A549 cells and significantly activated NK-dependent cytotoxicity. Conclusions: The findings show that a VHH directed against CD16 could be an excellent candidate to be linked to soluble ACE2 to generate a bi-specific molecule (sACE2-AntiCD16VHH) suitable for bridging effector cells and infected target cells to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 variant spike proteins binding to the ACE2 receptor in the RAW-Blue cell line and pro-inflammatory cytokines and to activate natural killer cell cytotoxicity.
PD-L1+ neutrophils mediate immune regulation of CD8+ T cells in halo nevi Y. Zhang et al. Frontiers in Immunology 2025 Aug

Abstract

BackgroundHalo nevi are clinically common and are characterized by a circle of leukoderma around the central melanocytic nevus. Studies have shown that the pathogenesis of halo nevi is similar to that of vitiligo and is associated with the role of CD8? T lymphocytes in melanocyte destruction. Histopathological findings have revealed neutrophil infiltration in halo nevi; however, the specific immune mechanisms involving neutrophils have not been thoroughly investigated. In the present study, we investigated the role of neutrophils in halo nevi using histopathological and immunological analyses.MethodsTo this end, we examined the infiltration patterns of immune cells in halo nevi, with a particular focus on IFN-γ-induced PD-L1 expression in neutrophils and its potential immunoregulatory effects.ResultsThe results demonstrated that IFN-γ expression in the lesional skin of halo nevi contributed to the induction of PD-L1 expression in neutrophils. PD-L1? neutrophils promoted apoptosis and suppressed the function of CD8? T lymphocytes. Notably, some halo nevi showed a tendency to spontaneous regression, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and this regulatory mechanism influences the local immune response and may facilitate the repigmentation of the surrounding leukoderma in halo nevi.ConclusionsThis study is the first to explore the involvement of neutrophils in halo nevi and reveal the potential immunoregulatory role of PD-L1 in this process. The elucidation of this mechanism not only provides a more comprehensive understanding of autoimmune skin diseases but may also offer new strategies for targeted therapy in other related disorders, such as vitiligo.
PD-1/CD80 Nature Communications 2024 May

Abstract

Only a minority of cancer patients benefit from immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Sophisticated cross-talk among different immune checkpoint pathways as well as interaction pattern of immune checkpoint molecules carried on circulating small extracellular vesicles (sEV) might contribute to the low response rate. Here we demonstrate that PD-1 and CD80 carried on immunocyte-derived sEVs (I-sEV) induce an adaptive redistribution of PD-L1 in tumour cells. The resulting decreased cell membrane PD-L1 expression and increased sEV PD-L1 secretion into the circulation contribute to systemic immunosuppression. PD-1/CD80+ I-sEVs also induce downregulation of adhesion- and antigen presentation-related molecules on tumour cells and impaired immune cell infiltration, thereby converting tumours to an immunologically cold phenotype. Moreover, synchronous analysis of multiple checkpoint molecules, including PD-1, CD80 and PD-L1, on circulating sEVs distinguishes clinical responders from those patients who poorly respond to anti-PD-1 treatment. Altogether, our study shows that sEVs carry multiple inhibitory immune checkpoints proteins, which form a potentially targetable adaptive loop to suppress antitumour immunity. Immune checkpoint inhibition is a successful form of immune therapy; however response rates vary widely among individual patients. Here authors show that circulating small extracellular vesicles might contribute to poor response to anti-PD-1 treatment by carrying PD-1 and CD80 which results in higher level of vesicular PD-L1 expression in the circulation at the expense of expression on tumour cell membranes, causing immunosuppression.
