Sorting B Cells from Spleen with FACS

Flow cytometry and FACS can be used to separate B lymphocytes from a mixed spleen cell sample. The immune system protects the body from infectious organisms and other invaders. White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are the main cells involved in this defense.

Leukocytes can be grouped into s...

The immune system protects the body from invading pathogens by generating leukocytes, also called white blood cells. When a pathogen successfully infects an organism, a wide variety of leukocytes are activated and this coordinated reaction is called an immune response.

Frequently, it is useful for researchers to be able to identify the spe...
