Abstract
Peripheral blood is the most common source of T-lymphocytes for in vitro culture. Here, we present a simple and standardized method for small- or large-scale isolation of viable T-lymphocytes and other mononuclear cells from fresh peripheral blood or buffy coat blood samples using the density gradient centrifugation. T-cells obtained using the protocol described here can be used for a variety of downstream analysis, including cellular, molecular, and functional assays.
