Isolation of human small bowel intraepithelial lymphocytes by annexin V-coated magnetic beads.

Abstract excerpt

Human intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are important effector cells of the mucosal immune system and their study is hampered by the difficulty of their isolation. The molecular study of enriched samples of IEL is mandatory in the diagnosis of enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma and refractory celiac sprue. In order to isolate human small bowel IEL, we took advantage of the stress that intestinal...
