Isolate Pure and Functional Human Regulatory T Cells (Tregs)

Dynabeads Regulatory CD4⁺CD25⁺ T Cell Kit is an easy-to-use, flow-compatible kit for positive isolation of human regulatory T cells (Tregs). This tube-based technology gives you highly functional Tregs with up to 97% purity (CD4⁺CD25⁺ expression); on average over 80% of the isolated CD25⁺ cells express the transcription factor Foxp3.

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are vital in maintaining self-tolerance and immune cell homeostasis. Tregs regulate the immune responses responsible for autoimmune diseases and suppress other cell responses.

With this simple three-step magnetic isolation procedure (Figure 1) cells are left both bead- and antibody-free after isolation, and can be used in any cell-based downstream experiment. Due to the Dynabeads polymer coating and the fact that the beads are completely removed after isolation, your cells are exposed to minimal stress and there will be no foreign structures from the isolation method left with your cells after isolation.

Regulatory CD4⁺CD25⁺ T cells are a specialized subpopulation of T cells that act to maintain homeostasis within the immune system. The characterization of this cell population has firmly established their existence and their critical role in keeping the balance of the immune response. Evidence from experimental mouse and human models have demonstrated that the immunosuppressive potential of these cells can be utilized in the treatment of various diseases such as autoimmunity, infectious diseases and cancer.

Dynabeads Regulatory CD4⁺CD25⁺ T Cell Kit is designed to maximize:

• Suppressive capacity of isolated Tregs
• Expansion of isolated Tregs
• Suppressive capacity of expanded Tregs

Tregs were isolated from two different donors using Dynabeads Regulatory CD4+CD25+ T Cell Kit (left) or a column-based method (right). Treg purity was identified by expression of CD25 and Foxp3 after isolation.
