Naïve CD8 T cells were enriched from mouse splenocytes using a column-free Naïve CD8 T cell isolation kit. Cells were stained with the following fluorescent antibodies: CD8-Pacific Blue (SDT Cat: S0B8086), CD44-FITC (SDT Cat: S0B5452), and CD62L-Alexa Fluor® 647 (SDT Cat: S0B1699). Gating was performed on live cells (Live+), and the proportion of Naïve CD8 T cells (CD8+CD44-CD62L+) in the sorted fraction was determined. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the purity of the isolated Naïve CD8 T cells was 96.1%.

| Capacity | Suitable for a total cell count of 1×10⁹, and can perform up to 100 sorting runs. |
| Principle of Separation | In this negative selection process, non- is labeled with a biotin-conjugated antibody.Naïve CD8 TCells are then incubated with streptavidin‑coated nanomagnetic beads; non‑target cells are labeled via antibody‑bead complexes, while the target…Naïve CD8 TThe cells remain unlabeled. The cell suspension is then transferred to a polystyrene tube and placed within the sorter's magnetic field. Under the influence of the magnetic field, the magnetically labeled non-target cells adhere to the tube wall, while the unlabeledNaïve CD8 TThe cells remain in the supernatant. This supernatant is, therefore, the solution from which non-target cells have been removed.Naïve CD8 TCell-enriched fraction. |

Background
Mouse naïve CD8 T cells are cytotoxic T cells that have matured in the thymus but have not yet encountered specific antigens; they remain in a quiescent state. These cells primarily reside in peripheral lymph nodes and the spleen, where they rely on IL-7 signaling to maintain homeostatic survival. Upon activation by exogenous antigens and costimulatory signals, they undergo extensive clonal expansion and differentiate into effector CD8⁺ T cells (CTLs) with direct cytotoxic activity and long-lived memory CD8⁺ T cells. They serve as the pivotal initiating cells of the organism's adaptive immune responses against viruses and tumors. Using negative magnetic bead sorting to isolate and purify naïve CD8⁺ T cells from mouse splenic cell suspensions yields a purity of over 90%. The sorted cells bear no surface antibody labeling and retain their natural quiescent state, making them suitable for subsequent in vitro activation, differentiation, and functional studies.

Operating Instructions |
Dosage and Time |
1 |
Collect the mouse spleen, grind it on a 40 μm sterile filter to prepare a single-cell suspension of splenic cells, and perform cell counting; Note:It is recommended to count cells after staining with AO/PI; splenic cells can be centrifuged at 400 g for 7 minutes; |
Prepare the sample |
2 |
Resuspend 1×10 in 100 μL of MagSep Separation Buffer7cells; Note:Adjust reagents proportionally according to the sample volume; set aside a pre-sorting sample to measure the initial naïve CD8 ratio; |
1×107cells/100 μL |
3 |
Add 10 μL of Mouse Naïve CD8 T cell Biotin Antibody Cocktail to the sample and gently mix. Note:For this step, gently pipette up and down 2–3 times to mix thoroughly; |
10 μL / 100 μL |
4 |
Incubate the antibodies in the cocktail with the cells at room temperature for 10 minutes; |
Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes |
5 |
Shake for 5–30 seconds to mix the Streptavidin beads evenly; |
Mix by shaking for 5–30 seconds |
6 |
Add 20 μL of Streptavidin beads to the sample; |
20 μL/100 μL |
7 |
Gently mix the magnetic beads and cells, and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes; Note:For this step, you can use a pipette to gently blow the mixture 2–3 times to mix it evenly; During this step, the magnetic beads may settle at the bottom; you can gently tap the tube to remix them around the 2.5-minute mark; |
Incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes |
8 |
Add MagSep Separation Buffer to the sample and immediately place it on the magnetic stand to prevent the magnetic beads from settling heavily at the bottom; |
Add the total volume to 2.5 mL (in a 5 mL flow cytometry tube) Add the total volume to 7.5 mL (in a 15 mL centrifuge tube) |
9 |
Place the sample on the magnetic stand so that the magnetic beads adhere to the tube wall; |
Adsorb using a single-well magnetic stand (3 min) Adsorb using a multi-well magnetic stand (5 min) |
10 |
Tilt the magnetic stand and pour the sample into a new collection tube to collect the sample; Note: The sorted cells can be centrifuged at 400g for 7 minutes for subsequent culture and analysis. |

Note:1. 0.1-1 × 108cells (0.1-1 mL) are recommended to use a 5 mL single-well magnetic separator (Starter EasyIso Separator) with a total volume of 2.5 mL; 2-5 × 108For cells (2–5 mL), it is recommended to use a 15 mL magnetic rack (Starter EasyEights EasyIso Separator) with a total adsorption volume of 7.5 mL. 2. If the sample viability is low, it is recommended to use a dead cell removal kit to eliminate dead cells (Dead Cell Removal Set, (RUO)#S0K0009). | ||
