| Product Name | Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activation Magnetic Beads |
| Catalog No. | RESK-0462 |
| Description | T-cell activation depends on a two-signal system. The first signal (antigen recognition signal) is provided when the TCR/CD3 complex on the T-cell surface recognizes the MHC-antigen peptide complex on antigen-presenting cells (APCs); the second signal (co-stimulatory signal) is provided by binding of the CD28 molecule on the T-cell surface to B7 family molecules (e.g., CD80, CD86) on APCs. In vitro, the first signal can be mimicked by an anti-CD3 antibody, which binds the CD3 molecule and activates the TCR signaling pathway, and the second signal can be mimicked by an anti-CD28 antibody, which provides the co-stimulatory signal. Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activation Magnetic Beads are prepared by covalently coupling high-quality anti-human CD3 and CD28 antibodies to inert superparamagnetic beads with a particle size of 5 um, mimicking the function of antigen-presenting cells. T cells can be activated and expanded simply and rapidly without feeder cells (antigen-presenting cells) or antigens. Recombinant human IL-2 can be used during cell culture to stimulate T-cell expansion. After cell activation or expansion, the beads can be removed with a magnetic stand. |
| Intended Use | For in vitro activation and expansion of human T cells, applicable to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or T-cell subsets, including CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells. |
| Principle / Technology | Anti-human CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies covalently coupled to 5 um inert superparamagnetic beads mimic antigen-presenting cells by simultaneously delivering the TCR/CD3 activation signal and the CD28 co-stimulatory signal, thereby activating and expanding T cells ex vivo. |
| Sample Type | Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or T-cell subsets, including CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, or CD8+ T cells. |
| Performance Range / Specifications | Simple operation: beads can be added to cells directly after washing and do not need to be removed during activation and expansion. High activation efficiency: 48 hours after bead activation, CD25+CD69+ T cells account for 75.81%. Stable expansion: activated T cells can be cultured in vitro for up to 21 days, with an expansion fold >1000-fold. Activation capacity: 200 uL size for up to 2×10^7 cells; 1 mL size for up to 1×10^8 cells. |
| Reaction Conditions / Protocol | Wash the beads and add them directly to the cells; the beads do not need to be removed during activation and expansion. Recombinant human IL-2 can be used during cell culture to stimulate T-cell expansion. After cell activation or expansion, the beads can be removed with a magnetic stand. |
