The Primary human cells like CD8+ T lymphocytes are vital for advanced immunology research. Apex Scientific supplies frozen, high-purity primary human CD8+ T cells, isolated from peripheral blood, to support laboratory workflows across South Africa. These cells provide researchers with a consistent and physiologically relevant starting point for critical immune assays.
Product Overview
StemCell Technologies isolates CD8+ T cells using a negative immunomagnetic process that removes unwanted cell types. This approach yields untouched, highly enriched CD8+ T cells—≥85% purity confirmed by flow cytometry. Cells are collected from healthy donors using acid-citrate-dextrose solution A (ACDA) to preserve integrity. After isolation, cells are cryopreserved in CryoStor® CS10 to maintain viability and functionality post-thaw.
Researchers benefit from the convenience of on-demand usage—simply thaw and proceed with assays. These frozen primary human cells are available in South Africa exclusively through Apex Scientific.
Key Specifications
- Format: Frozen in CryoStor® CS10
- Cell Type: Human CD8+ T cells (primary)
- Source: Peripheral blood, normal healthy donor
- Purity: ≥ 85% CD8+by flow cytometry
Ethical Sourcing and Quality
All donors provide informed consent under IRB-approved protocols, ensuring ethical sourcing. StemCell Technologies rigorously tests each batch for identity, purity, and viability. These cells offer high physiological relevance for research use. The cryopreservation process preserves functionality, supporting reliable experimental outcomes.
Laboratory Applications
Frozen CD8+ T cells are ideal for cytotoxicity assays, co-culture models, and immune response evaluations. They are compatible with standard laboratory equipment, such as incubators, flow cytometers, and imaging systems. Because these are primary human cells—not immortalized lines—they yield more accurate, translational data. Scientists can also activate or genetically modify the cells for use in immunotherapy research.
