ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator is designed to activate and expand human T cells in the absence of magnetic beads, feeder cells, or antigen. ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator consists of soluble tetrameric antibody complexes that bind CD3 and CD28 cell surface ligands. Binding of the tetrameric antibody complexes results in the cross-linking of CD3 and CD28 cell surface ligands, thereby providing the required primary and co-stimulatory signals for T cell activation. Activated T cells can be expanded in ImmunoCult™-XF T Cell Expansion Medium or other media for culturing human T cells supplemented with cytokines.
The ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator can be used on the Seahorse XF Analyzer to measure T cell activation response and is also available as part of the Agilent Seahorse XF Hu T Cell Activation Assay Kit.
This product is designed for cell therapy research applications following the recommendations of USP<1043> on Ancillary Materials, and we can currently work with you to qualify this reagent under an approved investigational new drug (IND) or clinical trial application (CTA).
This product aims to be developed as a cGMP-grade reagent for cellular therapy research. Learn more at www.stemcell.com/t-cell-therapy
