title: Study of human cord blood lymphocytes by immobilized metal ion affinity partitioning.
abstract: The potential of immobilized metal ion affinity partitioning (IMAP) using dextran-PEG+PEG-IDA-M(II) systems to separate mononuclear cells from cord blood has been evaluated. The distribution of B cells, T cells, monocytes and hematopoietic stem cells between PEG and dextran phases was determined by flow cytometry with fluorochrome-labelled specific antibodies. Comparing these values with the post-Ficoll repartition resulted in the determination of enrichment factors, for each subpopulation, in the different phases. We were able to distinguish the partition pattern of B cells, T cells, monocytes and stem cells in different IMAP systems. Their partition was affected by the nature and the concentration of the metal used, but no specificity in distribution for the subpopulations was found.
