Introducing the new mouse NK Cell Isolation Kit [Catalog# MAGM210]:
Example of enrichment of NK cells from mouse Balb/C splenocytes using MagCellect Mouse NK cell enrichment kit (R&D Systems MAGM210). Cells before (panel A) and after (panel B) enrichment were double-stained with APC-conjugated anti mouse CD49b (DX5) and PE-conjugated anti mouse NKp46 (R&D Systems Cat.# FAB2225P) to specifically label the NK cell population. Note that two small populations with CD49dim/NKp46- and NKp46dim/CD49b- staining are also enriched (panel C)
MagCellect (MAGM210)-isolated NK cells were characterized by NK-specific staining with PE-conjugated anti-mouse NKp46 (R&D Systems Cat.#) and anti-mouse NKG2D (R&D Systems Cat.#), and with APC-conjugated anti-mouse CD49b (R&D Systems Cat.#) antibodies. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.
here's how our kit's performance compares to that a column-based magnetic isolation system:
Balb/C mouse NK cells were isolated from 50 million splenocytes using either R&D Systems (MAGM210) or a competitor's column-based magnetic system. All reagents used (kit reagents, magnets, magnetic beads and columns)were from the respective makers. All isolations were performed according to the given manufacturer's instructions.
Here's how our MagCellect mouse NK Isolation kit (MAGM210) performed using two magnets from other makers, Miltenyi and StemCell Technologies:
Balb/C mouse NK cells were isolated from 50 million splenocytes using R&D Systems NK isolation kit (Cat# MAGM210) used in combination with either A) R&D Systems magnet (Cat# MAG997), B) Miltenyi Biotec magnet (Cat# 130-042-302) and LS columns (Cat# 130-042-401) or C) StemCell Technologies magnet (Cat# 18000)
Introducing the new Human NK Cell Isolation Kit [Catalog# MAGH109]:A
Two examples of enrichment of NK cells from human PBMC using MagCellect NK
cell enrichment kit (R&D Systems MAGH109). Cells before and after enrichment
were double-stained with APC-conjugated anti human CD3 (R&D Systems FAB100A) and PE-conjugated anti human CD56 (R&D Systems FAB2408) to specifically label the NK cell populations. Panel A, Isolation of NK cells from a PBMC prep consisting of mostly CD56dim cells. Panel B, enrichment of both CD56dim and CD56bright from a different PBMC preparation; CD56dim NK cells are shown in green and CD56bright NK cells are shown in blue.

Enriched human NK cells were functional as demonstrated with a CD107adegranulation potential assay. NK cells were incubated with HLA class I- K562 target cells at an Effector/Target (E/T) ratio of 2:1 for 3 hours (Ravet, S. et al (2007) Blood 109:4296). Cells were then stained with APC-labeled anti-human CD107a/LAMP1 (R&D Systems Catalog #IC4800A) and analyzed by flow cytometry.
Immobilized Ms x hNKp30 (R&D Systems Inc. catalog #MAB1849) induces IFNγ secretion in IL-2 activated human NK cells. Isotype control did not induce IFNγ secretion. Human peripheral blood NK cells were isolated using MagCellect Human NK cell isolation kit (R&D Systems Inc. catalog #MAGH109). The amount of IFNγ secretion was measured using the human IFNγ kitQuantikine (R&D Systems Inc. catalog #DIF50).
MagCellect (MAGH109)-Isolated NK cells were stained with anti-human NKp46 (Catalog # AF1850) followed by NL493-coupled anti-goat IgG (Catalog # NL003; green), and with anti-human Granzyme B (Catalog # MAB2906) followed by NL557-coupled anti-mouse IgG (Catalog # NL007; red) in the dark. Nuclei were stained with Dapi (blue).We tested the efficacy of our new MagCellect NK cell kits by comparison to other systems in the market, with typically better or similar results. But unlike other commercially available kits that require a costly set of magnets and supplies (expensive magnets and columns), our kits were developed to work with different kind of commercially available magnets and systems, providing more flexibility, simplicity and cost-efficacy.
