<p>The present invention comprises a process for release from the cell-receptor complex of positively selected cells in viable, functional condition, where a ligand involved in the particular receptor-ligand interaction utilized for the affinity purification is selectively attacked by one or more degradative enzymes specific for that ligand. A resulting cell suspension can be obtained substantially free of receptor material. This invention, in one embodiment, contemplates a method for positive stem cell selection, utilizing anti-MY 10 and immunomagnetic microspheres to isolate CD34-positive marrow cells and employing an enzyme to release microspheres from the isolated CD34-positive cells. Reproducible enzymatic cleaving of immunomagnetic microspheres from MY10-positive cells can be achieved by brief treatment of the preparation with papain or chymopapain. The isolated CD34-positive cells are particularly desirable for bone marrow transplantation.</p> |
