Magnetic sorting was first used to isolate red blood cells (RBCs) from whole blood using a high gradient magnetic field filter 9 and the intrinsic magnetic properties of RBCs. 10 With the development of monoclonal antibodies, the technique was extended to immunomagnetic separation wherein nonmagnetic cells are labeled with magnetic particles coated with antibodies specific to targeted .
In this study, we examined the effect that magnetic materials and pH have on the recoveries of Cryptosporidium oocysts by immunomagnetic separation (IMS). We determined that particles that were concentrated on a magnet during bead separation have no influence on oocyst recovery; however, removal of these particles did influence pH values.
Mar 10, 2009· The final purity of isolated target cells in immunomagneticbased separation devices depends first on the specificity of the antibodies used to select the desired cells and second on the amount of nonspecific cell capture (, capture of cells not bound via the specific antibody–antigen interactions to magnetic beads).
