Dear Calin

 Unfortunately I can't be of help regarding monocyte isolation	BUT I would
be VERY interetsed in learning more about  magnetic isolation of Macs

Many thanks in advance

 Annette

Try looking up a paper from around 1990-ish, in J Imm Methods, by Elizabeth
Denholm, on isolating human monos using a modified Percoll gradient.

Dear Flowers,

Does anyone have a reliable protocol for density gradient separation of
human monocytes from whole peripheral blood? We have tried several Fycoll
densities and osmolarities but none seems to work. We have been using
magnetic isolation on MACS but we are looking for a more expedient and
cheaper way to get pure (i.e. >90%) monocytes.
    Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Calin Tatu.
