Single Cell Suspension From Spleen Protocol

How to prepare a single cell suspension from mouse spleen this video demonstrates how to harvest cells from a spleen sample and prepare a single cell suspension prior to performing cell isolation.

Single cell suspension from spleen protocol.

Centrifuge the tube at 300 g at 40c for 5 min. Add 5 ml 1x pbs and mince the tissue with the syringe plunger after fine mincing place the cell strainer in the centrifuge tube use the syringe plunger to macerate the cells through the filter add 5 ml hbss. Preparing a true single cell suspension of the primary tissue sample will optimize cell separation by avoiding additional cell loss and enabling maximum labeling of the target cells. This video outlines how to harvest cells from a primary tissue sample and prepare a single cell suspension prior to performing cell isolation.

If you are not using an isolation kit following dissociation please use pbs 1 mm edta. This protocol describes how to harvest cells from a spleen sample and how to prepare a single cell suspension prior to performing cell isolation. Remove supernatant and add hbss solution to wash again. Preparation of single cell suspensions from mouse spleen with the gentlemacs dissociator the jove video player is compatible with html5 and adobe flash.

Transfer the spleen to be processed into a sterile 35 mm culture dish cat 27100 27150 containing 5 ml of recommended medium for downstream isolation this will be indicated on your kit pis.
