Mouse F4/80+ cells are either selected or depleted by incubating the sample with the Biotin anti-mouse F4/80 Antibody Cocktail followed by Streptavidin Nanobeads. The magnetically labeled fraction is retained by the use of a magnetic separator. The magnetically labeled fraction contains the cells of interest; do not discard this fraction. After collection of the F4/80+ expressing cells, downstream applications include functional assays, gene expression, phenotypic characterization, etc.
MojoSort™ reagents are also compatible with column-based cell separation systems available from other vendors. Optimized protocols for cell separation using columns from in-house testing are provided for each kit under the “Related Protocols” section, as well as representative data on the product webpage (where available). Data generated using column separators are indicated on the figure legend.
Due to the property of the beads, MojoSort™ reagents typically require dilution for optimal use on column separators. Where available, recommended dilution factors for each kit component based on in-house testing are provided under the “Application Notes” section of the webpage. Please contact our technical service team for further assistance.

- Formulation
-
Cocktail: Phosphate buffer solution containing 0.09% sodium azide, 0.5% BSA, 5% HPCD, pH 7.2.
Particle: Aqueous solution containing BSA and 0.05% sodium azide. - Preparation
-
The antibodies were purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with biotin under optimal conditions. The solution is free of unconjugated biotin.
Streptavidin Nanobeads: Streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. - Storage & Handling
- All components should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.

- Recommended Usage
-
From mouse peritoneal lavage:
- 10 µL of Biotin-Antibody Cocktail for 2 x 106 peritoneal lavage cells in 100 µL of buffer.
- 10 µL of Streptavidin Nanobeads for 2 x 106 peritoneal lavage cells in 100 µL of buffer.
From mouse liver:
- 4 µL of Biotin-Antibody Cocktail for 1 x 107 liver nonparenchymal cells in 100 µL of buffer.
- 3.2 µL of Streptavidin Nanobeads for 1 x 107 liver nonparenchymal cells in 100 µL of buffer.
- Application Notes
-
This kit is designed for the positive selection of F4/80+ cells from mouse peritoneal lavage and liver.
Test sizes/starting cell capacity:- The 10 and 100 test sizes provide enough reagents for approximately 2 x 107 and 2 x 108 peritoneal lavage cells, respectively.
- For liver cells, The 10 and 100 test sizes provide enough reagents for approximately 25 and 250 tests, respectively, due to lower volumes of reagents needed per test in this sample type. The 10 and 100 test sizes provide enough reagents for approximately 2.5 x 108 and 2.5 x 109 liver cells, respectively.
Optional:
- To futher increase purity of F4/80+ cells from mouse liver, it is recommended to harvest liver nonparenchymal cells (LNPCs) from PBS-perfused tissue.
- High yield of hepatic F4/80+ macrophages can be achieved by using magnetic columns.
- The appropiate volume of antibody cocktail/nanobeads are critical and specific for distinct tissues.
Each lot has been individually optimized. Do not mix and match components from different lots or different kits.
Antibody or cocktail dilution to use in column: 1X
Nanobead dilution to use in column: 4X

Related FAQs
- Is there a way to detach your magnetic particles from the cell surface?
-
MojoSort™ Nanobeads: These magnetic particles cannot be removed from cells. This includes standalone Nanobeads and MojoSort kits using Nanobeads. We have found that cells are functional without the need to detach the magnetic Nanobeads.
MojoSort Microbeads: These magnetic particles may be released following the detailed product-specific protocol.
- What is the size of your magnetic particles?
-
MojoSort Nanobeads: the average diameter is approximately 130 nm.
MojoSort Microbeads: the average diameter is approximately 1 μm.
- Are MojoSort™ Nanobeads compatible with other commercially available magnetic separation systems?
-
MojoSort™ magnetic particles can be used with other commercially available magnetic separators, both free standing magnets and column-based systems. Because MojoSort™ protocols are optimized for the MojoSort™ separator, the protocols may need to be adjusted for other systems. Please contact BioLegend Technical Service for more product-specific information and guidance. We do not recommend using MojoSort™ particles for BD’s IMag™ or Life Technologies’ DynaMag™.
