PBMCs were stimulated with Cell-Vive™ GMP CD3/CD28 Human T Cell Activation Beads (cat#: 422605, bar with vertical stripes) at a 1:1 bead-to-cell ratio. This condition was compared to BioLegend Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activation beads (cat#: 422603, bar with checkered pattern) and a similar product from a Competitor (bar with diagonal stripes). PBMCs were activated by plating 1x106 cells in a 12 well plate and cultured for a total of 10 days. Fold expansion over D0 was calculated at D10 and plotted for each activation condition. -
(A) PBMCs were stimulated with Cell-Vive™ GMP CD3/CD28 Human T Cell Activation Beads (cat#: 422605, bar with vertical stripes) at a 1:1 bead-to-cell ratio. This condition was compared to BioLegend Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activation beads (cat#: 422603, bar with checkered pattern) and a similar product from a Competitor (bar with diagonal stripes). PBMCs were activated by plating 1x106 cells in a 12 well plate and cultured for a total of 10 days. Cell phenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry using the following definitions: T cell is 7-AAD-/CD3+/CD56-/CD19-; NK cell is 7-AAD-/CD56+/CD3-/CD19-; B cell is 7-AAD-/CD19+/CD3-/CD56-. (B) CD3+ T cells were further analyzed for phenotypic and activation markers. All T cells were defined by 7-AAD-/CD3+ gating.

Cell-Vive™ GMP CD3/CD28 Human T Cell Activation Beads allow for convenient in vitro or ex vivo activation of human T cells without the need for antigen-presenting cells. Human T cells are stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies coated on superparamagnetic microbeads. Simply add the beads directly to isolated T cells or to PBMCs at a 1:1 bead-to-cell ratio for robust T cell activation. Excess antibody-coated beads can be removed from the cell suspension by the use of a magnetic separator (some residual beads may be retained in the cell suspension). Some of the downstream applications include functional assays, gene expression analysis, and phenotypic characterization.

-
GMP CD3/CD28 Human T Cell activation beads should be plated with cells at a 1:1 bead-to-cell ratio.
- Application Notes
-
This product is designed for the in vitro or ex vivo expansion of human T cells.
Cell-Vive™ GMP CD3/CD28 Human T Cell Activation Beads are a ready to use solution. There is no need to dilute the product prior to use in cell culture.
Suggested culture protocol:
- Prepare T Cell Complete Media (TCCM) using sterile, filtered IMDM with 5% final concentration of serum and 200 IU/mL of human IL-2.
- Prepare cells at a concentration of 1 x 106 per mL of TCCM.
- Wash 25 µL of Cell-Vive™ GMP CD3/CD28 Human T Cell Activation Beads to a 5 mL polypropylene tube with 1 mL TCCM.
- Apply tube containing beads to a magnet (MojoSort magnet, cat#: 480019) for 2 minutes. Decant supernatant and remove tube from magnet.
- Resuspend beads in 1 mL of cell suspension and plate in a 12 well cell culture plate.
- Allow cells to expand at 37°C and 5% CO2. At D4 and D7, count cells and resuspend at 0.5 x 106 cells per mL.
- Harvest cells at D10 or D11 for further analysis.
This product was optimized on isolated CD3+ T cells and PBMCs. Alternate sources of T cells may require protocol optimization.
