ABSTRACT
Objective To compare effect of chemotherapy agent DDP to MACS in sorting cancer stemcells (CSC) of laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2. Methods CD133 magnetic beads were applied to sort Hep-2 cells. Different dosages of DDP were used to treat Hep-2 cells for 48 hours. Enrichment rate of CD133+ cells by MACS and after DDP treatment was detected by Flow Cytometer (FCM). Morphologic change was observed under inverse-phase microscope. Results FCM showed that the sorting rate of CD133+ cells through MACS was 64.33 %, while after DDP treatment for 48 hours, the rate of CD133+ cells was enriched significantly in each dosage of DDP, with the maximal rate was 50.7 %, in the dosage of 4 μg/ml. There was a significantly difference between MACS and each of DDP group (P <0.01). Cells treated with DDP were abnormal in morphology. Conclusion MACS and DDP sorting has respective advantages in enriching CSC in Hep-2 cell lines.
ABSTRACT
Objective To gain purified platelets for further research of the immune function of platelet.Methods Platelets were purified by positive(MS) and negative(LD) magnetic cell sorting(MACS) separation.The percentage of activated platelets was detected by flow cytometry and nucleated cell clearance was evaluated by white cell count.Results The percentage of activated platelets before separation was(2.39?1.10)%,and increased to(2.56?1.08)% and(16.76?4.04)%,respectively,after MS and LD MACS.The clearances of nucleated cells after MACS MS and LD were(98.44?0.24)% and(98.47?0.18)%,respectively.The recovery rate of purified platelet after MS and LD was(76.50?1.49)% and(79.20?2.61)%.Conclusion MACS LD method was more suitable for the platelet purification.
