Description
BD IMag™ anti-mouse CD45R/B220 Particles - DM are magnetic nanoparticles that have monoclonal antibody conjugated to their surfaces. These particles are optimized for the positive selection or depletion of CD45R/B220-bearing leukocytes using the BD IMag™ Cell Separation Magnet. CD45R/B220 is reportedly expressed on B lymphocytes at all stages from pro-B through mature and activated B cell. It is also has been reported to be found on abnormal T cells involved in the lymphadenopathy of lpr/lpr and gld/gld mutant mice, on lytically active subsets of lymphokine-activated killer cells (NK cells and non-MHC-restricted CTL), on apoptotic T lymphocytes of mice injected with bacterial superantigen, on a population of NK-cell precursors in the bone marrow, and on B-lymphocyte, T-lymphocyte, and macrophage progenitors in fetal liver. The CD45R/B220 antigen is reportedly not on hematopoietic stem cells, plasma cells, resting T lymphocytes, or MHC-restricted CTL.

Preparation and Storage
Store undiluted at 4°C.The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.Antibody or streptavidin was conjugated to the magnetic particles under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody/streptavidin was removed.
Product Notices
- BD IMag™ particles are prepared from carboxy-functionalized magnetic particles which are manufactured by Skold Technology and are licensed under US patent number 7,169,618.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

Leukocytes are labeled with BD IMag™ anti-mouse CD45R/B220 Particles - DM according to the Magnetic Labeling Protocol. This labeled cell suspension is then placed within the magnetic field of the BD IMag™ Cell Separation Magnet (Cat. No. 552311). Labeled cells migrate toward the magnet (positive fraction), leaving the unlabeled cells in suspension so they can be drawn off (negative fraction). The tube is then removed from the magnetic field for resuspension of the positive fraction. The separation is repeated twice to increase the purity of the positive fraction. The magnetic separation steps are diagrammed in the Separation Flow Chart. After the positive fraction is washed, the small size of the magnetic particles allows the positive fraction to be further evaluated in downstream applications such as flow cytometry.
MAGNETIC LABELING PROTOCOL
1. Prepare a single-cell suspension from the lymphoid tissue of interest according to standard laboratory procedures. Remove clumps of cells and/or debris by passing the suspension through a 70-µm nylon cell strainer.
2. Dilute BD IMag™ Buffer (10X) (Cat. No. 552362) 1:10 with sterile distilled water or prepare 1X BD IMag™ buffer by supplementing Phosphate Buffered Saline with 0.5% BSA, 2mM EDTA, and 0.09% sodium azide. Place on ice.
Although our experience indicates that use of Mouse BD Fc Block™ purified anti-mouse CD16/CD32 mAb 2.4G2 (Cat. No. 553141/553142) is not required for optimal cell separation, some laboratories may want to use it in their studies.
If adding Mouse BD Fc Block™, proceed to Step 3.If not adding Mouse BD Fc Block™, proceed to Step 4.
3. Add Mouse BD Fc Block™ at 0.25 µg/10e6 cells, and incubate on ice for 15 minutes.
4. Wash cells with at least an equal volume of 1X BD IMag™ buffer, and carefully aspirate all the supernatant.
5. Vortex the BD IMag™ anti-mouse CD45R/B220 Particles - DM thoroughly, and add 50 µl of particles for every 10e7 total cells.
6. MIX THOROUGHLY. Refrigerate at 6°C - 12°C for 30 minutes.
7. Bring the BD IMag-particle labeling volume up to 1-8 x 10e7 cells/ml with 1X BD IMag™ buffer, and immediately place the tube on the Cell Separation Magnet. Incubate at room temperature for 6-8 minutes.
8. With the tube on the Cell Separation Magnet, carefully aspirate off the supernatant. This supernatant contains the negative fraction.
9. Remove the tube from the Cell Separation Magnet, and add 1X BD IMag™ buffer to the same volume as in Step 7. Gently resuspend cells by pipetting briefly, and return the tube to the Cell Separation Magnet for another 2-4 minutes.
10. With the tube on the Cell Separation Magnet, carefully aspirate off the supernatant and discard.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10.
12. After the final wash step, resuspend the positive fraction in an appropriate buffer and at an appropriate concentration for further analysis.
Note: Avoid nonspecific labeling by working quickly and adhering to recommended incubation times.
