Abstract:
To study the lymphocytes from tree shrew,we established and developed three quick protocols to isolate and analyze the cells from peripheral blood,bone and spleen tissues.Peripheral blood was collected by live heart puncture and lymphocytes were further isolated by mouse Ficoll-Hypaque.Lymphocytes were also separated from both bone marrow and spleen.About 6.25×104,1.96×105 and 1.59×106 lymphocytes were obtained from blood,bone marrow and spleen respectively.Results from flow cytometry analysis further confirmed the successful isolation of tree shrew’s lymphocytes.
