Description
Protocol for use: Separation of Lymphocytes from Whole Blood
According to the blood volume to be separated, either 15 or 25 ml size centrifuge tubes are filled with either 7 or 10 ml Lymphocyte Separation Medium (D = 1.077 g/ml, at +20 °C). Heparinized whole blood is then, either undiluted or diluted with equal parts of PBS or culture medium, carefully poured over the lymphocyte separation solution. The separation process is performed by centrifugation at 1200 g for 20 minutes.
The lymphocytes (70 % to 100 % enrichment) concentrate in the interphase (white layer) between the plasma and the separation solution (Fig. 1).
