  1. Purification of cells from human peripheral blood • Mononuclear cells: Lymphocytes + Monocytes • Monocytes • Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) or granulocytes • Platelets or thrombocytes

  3. 600g 15 min MC 1.077 g/ml RBC PMNs Isolation of human mononuclear cells I Density barrier method

  4. Axis-Shield Density Gradient Mediafor isolation of human PBMCs • Lymphoprep™: 9.1% diatrizoate, 5.7% polysaccharide; 1.077 g/ml, 295mOsm; endotoxin <0.13 EU/ml • Nycoprep™ 1.077: 14.1% Nycodenz®, 0.44% NaCl, 5 mM Tricine-NaOH, pH 7.0; 1.077 g/ml, 295 mOsm; endotoxin < 0.13 EU/ml • Optiprep™ (endotoxin < 0.13 EU/ml) diluted with any suitable balanced salt solution or culture medium to give a 1.077 g/ml medium (C03)

  5. Separation of PBMCs on Lymphoprep™ 6 ml diluted blood on 3 ml of Lymphoprep™ Blood:saline 1:1 Blood < 12 h old

  6. Lymphoprep™ competitors • Ficoll-Paque (GE Health Care (ex Amersham and Pharmacia) • Histopaque 1077 (Sigma) • Not endotoxin tested • More expensive endotoxin-tested versions, e.g. Sigma’s Histopaque 1077 Hybrimax

  7. Lymphoprep™ queries (I) • Anticoagulant? • Not anticoagulant sensitive • Do I have to dilute the blood? • Whole blood less easy to layer; poorer % yields • Can increase sample:Lymphoprep™ ratio • Yes – but not recommended • Can I use a leukocyte-rich plasma? • Yes, OK to separate PBMCs and PMNs • Centrifugation at 4°C rather than room temperature? • Yes, but need to increase time by 5 min

  8. Lymphoprep™ queries (II) • Ficoll-Paque or Histopaque work better • Impossible – media have identical composition • Poor definition of PBMC band at interface • Poor layering technique and/or brake problem • Poor separation from erythrocytes/PMNs • Blood > 12 h old; clinical specimens • Can I use it for non-human blood? • Maybe primates and some ruminants • How can I remove the platelets?

  11. Problem with mixer method • Ratio of cells:plasma (haematocrit value) • Normal males: 42-54% • Normal females: 38-46% • Some clinical samples may have significantly lower values

  14. Axis-Shield Density Gradient Mediafor the isolation of human PMNs from whole blood • Polymorphprep™ • 13.8% diatrizoate, 8.0% dextran 500 • Density = 1.113 g/ml • Osmolality = 460 mOsm

  15. Whole blood 5 ml 450-500g PBMCs 30-35 min at 20oC PMNs 5 ml Polymorphprep RBCs Separation of PBMCs and PMNs on Polymorphprep™

  19. Polymorphprep – critical points • Must use fresh (<2 h old) whole blood • Anticoagulant must be EDTA (dipotassium) • Temperature must be 18-22C • Blood:medium volume ratio must be 1:1 • 5 ml + 5 ml in a 15 ml tube • Brake must NOT be used • Centrifugation time can be + 5 min • Recommended g-force is the gav
