Mouse T Cell Activation and Expansion

Ready-to-use Dynabeads® allows for simultaneous signalling to TCR/CD3 and CD28 for physiological activation and expansion of mouse T cells.

This technology out-performs traditional home-brew activation methods (mitogens, ConA, soluble antibodies etc.), and is well documented in the published literature.

Dynabeads® allow you to move from mouse studies to clinical research using the same technology platform for activation/expansion.

Here's a short overview of the available mouse products. For a more complete overview, check out this Product Selection Guide (pdf)
