Human Normal Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC)

Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) are blood cells with a single round nucleus. These cells include lymphocytes (T, B and NK cells), monocytes and dendritic cells.  PBMCs are parts of the immune system which are critical to cell-mediated and humoral immunity.

Our Human PBMCs are isolated from normal healthy donor leukopaks collected in acid-citrate-dextrose formula A (ACDA) as an anticoagulant. All donors must be tested negative for HBV, HCV, HIV and Syphilis and are IRB consented.

Storage Condition

Cryopreserved PBMCs can be stored in Liquid Nitrogen vapor phase for long-term storage.  Storage in liquid phase nitrogen is NOT recommended. Short-term storage of cells (less than 2 weeks) at -80°C is acceptable but should be minimized to ensure maximum stability. Once thawed, samples must be used immediately, and can not be frozen again.
