Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28/CD137 beads are 4.5-μm superparamagnetic beads covalently coupled with an optimized combination of anti-human CD3, CD28, and CD137 antibodies and intended for ex vivo expansion/proliferation of human antigen (Ag)-specific T cells. CD3 and CD28 provide primary and co-stimulatory signals that are required for the activation and expansion of T cells. Anti-CD137 acts as an antagonist that promotes both survival and proliferation of T lymphocytes. This is especially important for memory T cells where they may lack CD28 expression.
Benefits of Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28/CD137 beads include: • Easy—no need to prepare antigen-presenting cells or antigen • Efficient—improved expansion and increased survival of Ag-specific T-cells • Functional—expanded T cells maintain Ag-specific responses
Simple and fast procedure Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28/CD137 beads offer a simple method for expansion of CD3+, CD4+, or CD8+ antigen-specific T cells from T cell clones, cell lines, or freshly isolated Ag-specific T cells from PBMC or whole blood. Ag-specific T cells are activated by adding the beads and human recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2) and rIL7 (for CD8+ Ag-specific T cells only) to the cell culture. Optimal expansion is performed when appropriate T-cell medium is used, such as CTS OpTmizer T Cell Expansion SFM (Cat. No. A1048501) or Advanced RPMI 1640 Medium (Cat. No. 12633012) with added supplements according to the manual.
When experiencing reduced expansion or cell shrinking the T cells can be restimulated with the Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28/CD137 beads. The beads can be removed with a DynaMag magnet and used in applications like cell:cell interaction studies, flow cytometry (after 3–4 days of culture to obtain bead release), proteomics, or nucleic acid-based assays.
Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28/CD137 applications The use of Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28/CD137 beads have also been used to expand chronic lymphocytic leukemia in vitro by activating T cells, which in turn promote the expansion of leukemic B cells (Baptista et al, 2021). In addition, the Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28/CD137 beads have been used to understand T cell suppression in blood neoplasms (Deng, et al, 2018).
Pre-isolate human antigen-specific T cells To obtain the most optimal Ag-specific expansion from a heterogenous T-cell population, the Ag-specific T cells can be sorted or isolated and released directly from human whole blood or from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with the Dynabeads FlowComp Flexi Kit (Cat. No. 11061D) in combination with an agonistic anti-CD137 antibody.
Alternative activation products • For activation of naïve polyclonal human T cells, use Dynabeads Human T Activator CD3/CD28 (Cat. No. 11131D) • For activation of naïve polyclonal mouse T cells, use Dynabeads Mouse T Activator CD3/CD28 (Cat. No. 11456D) • For activation of human regulatory T cells (Tregs), use Dynabeads CD3/CD28 Treg Expander (Cat. No. 11129D) • For ex vivo activation and expansion of human T cells for cell-based therapy, use the aseptically manufactured CTS Dynabeads CD3/CD28 (Cat. No. 40203D)
