Whole Blood and Bone Marrow CD138 protein-coupled magnetic MicroBeads

• Cat.No.: CD138-4029M

Specification

• Species: Human
• Capacity: for 40 mL whole blood
• Background: The CD138 antigen, also known as syndecan-1, is primarily found on normal and malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. In the peripheral blood of healthy donors approximately 50% of plasma cells express this antigen. The CD138 antigen is not expressed by naive B cells, germinal center B cells, memory B cells, T cells, or monocytes.
• Application: Isolation of CD138+ cells from whole blood or bone marrow. The purified CD138+ cells are well suited for further flow cytometric, functional, or molecular analysis such as FISH, PCR analysis, microarrays, and protein analysis, and for analysis of cell surface markers or intracellular antigens, for example immunoglobulin light chains.
