Magentic monodisperse polymer particles were developed and the necessary conditions established to use them for both quantification and fractionation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cell populations. The particles consist of a styrene divinylbenzene core into which magnetite has been deposited by an in situ oxidation process. Thereafter the core has been coated with a hydrophilic polymer containing epoxy and hydroxyl groups. The particles have strong nonspecific binding capacity for protein and can be coated with the appropriate antibodies by physical adsorption only. However, the hydroxyl groups on the outer polymer also make covalent coupling possible. After appropriate blocking they can be used in a rosette assay for quantification of mononuclear leukocytes previously sensitized with monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, a suitable magnet makes it possible to deplete the cell suspension efficiently of the rosette-forming cells. We have thoroughly investigated the functional properties of human mononuclear cells depleted of T lymphocytes by this technique. Our results show that T cells are virtually completely eliminated, as demonstrated by flow cytometry and various functional assay systems.
