PluriBead is a unique and robust non-magnetic separation technology for cells, proteins, and other targets from nearly all biological fluids. The procedure is simple: You sieve your pluriBeads bound to target cells through a strainer - the pluriBeads with your target cells stay on top, the unwanted cells pass through the strainer. Then gentle detachment of your cells with a buffer is all you do, the target cells are ready to use! PluriBeads are coated with an antibody against a specific target marker. Use the pluriBeads for positive selection or negative depletion of a cell population.Bead Size: MVolume: 2 mlTarget Marker: CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T cell receptor (TCR). Like the TCR, CD8 binds to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, but is specific for the class I MHC protein on all nucleated cells. Cytotoxic T-cells, some subpopulations of NK cells and some thymocytes carry the CD8 receptor on their surface.
