Isolated immune cells

Biospecimens you can trust for consistent results

We offer high-quality isolated immune cells from healthy, consented donors. Each cell type is carefully processed and cryopreserved to maintain viability and function for use in immuno-oncology, infectious disease, and cell-based assays.

Consistent, high-viability immune cells for advanced research

High-quality isolation

Isolated from leukopaks using negative immunomagnetic separation, our immune cells are available in large numbers from a single batch, ideal for experiments requiring consistency.

Cryopreserved for performance

Cells are frozen in CryoStor® CS10 using controlled-rate freezing and stored at -150°C to maintain exceptional viability and functionality upon thaw.

Flexible customisation

Choose from multiple immune cell types and select by donor attributes such as HLA type, CMV status, age, and sex with ready-to-ship inventory available online.

Explore research applications

Immune responses

Investigate immune reactions to pathogens, vaccines, and therapies

Autoimmune disorders

Study the mechanisms underlying autoimmune and immunodeficiency conditions

Drug discovery

Develop immunotherapies and cancer treatments, including CAR-T cell therapies

We know every research project is unique

We offer fully customisable options for isolated immune cells to ensure you get exactly what you need

Donor profiles

Select donors based on HLA type, CMV status, age, sex, and other key criteria to match your study requirements.

Cell counts

Order large, consistent batches from a single donor to maintain reproducibility across experiments.

Cell types

Choose from a range of immune cell subsets, including CD4+ T helper cells, CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, and more.

If our standard collection criteria do not meet your exact requirements, we can create bespoke collections designed for your study.

What our customers say

"We have used the Fresh Healthy Human Blood Service on several occasions and always received a helpful and efficient turnaround to our requests. The service has enabled timely access to good quality samples and facilitated effective development of our new generation products."

Scientista Life Science Company, Cardiff, UK

"We’ve been using Research Donors and are very happy with their services. Samples are delivered on time and we always get a very quick response from the team. They are also very flexible and willing to discuss specific requests"

R&D ScientistNGS Company, Cambridge, UK

"In order to obtain good quality data, it is essential to work with fresh blood samples. In the past I have ordered such samples from many suppliers, and I have found Research Donors to be absolutely the best. They offer an extremely reliable overnight delivery, a very good customer service and, most importantly, a high-quality product. They are now my only supplier for human whole blood!"

Researcher in Fresh Blood Sample AnalysisEPFL, Switzerland

"We have been using Research Donors as our supplier of frozen human PBMC cells for over a year. The cells are always delivered promptly and arrive on the date specified at the time of ordering. Further, the viability of the cells are higher than what we have observed from alternative suppliers and the numbers of viable cells always exceeds the specification. Communication is fast, friendly, and informative and the staff were very willing to adapt the product to our needs."

Senior ScientistAnuCell Biosystems, Ireland

"Research Donors have provided us with an excellent service. They have worked very closely with us to ensure that the products they supply are to the specifications that we require. The buffy coats that they provide are of a consistently high quality and the option of same day delivery is very valuable."

Senior ManagerAbzena, UK

"We have purchased both frozen PBMCs and Human Plasma samples from multiple donors from Research Donors. They have always maintained excellent prompt communication throughout the whole process and the quality of products and cell viability has been consistently high. The customer service really excels, and the delivery service is great."

ScientistBiVictriX Therapeutics, Alderley Park, UK

"The blood service is always precise, and people are helpful. Samples are delivered in a timely manner and the quality of blood received from Research Donors is very high and I look forward to working with them again."

Senior Research AssociateKymab, UK

"They provided exactly what we needed, on time and to specification. Perhaps most importantly, they did what they said they would do and maintained fabulous communication throughout the ordering process. I would certainly recommend the service to others."

What are isolated immune cells?

Isolated immune cells are essential for understanding the immune system’s role in health and disease.

  • CD19+ B Cells: Crucial for antibody production and humoral immunity
  • CD14+ Monocytes: Key players in innate immunity and antigen presentation
  • CD56+ Natural Killer (NK) Cells: Involved in the direct destruction of virally infected and tumour cells
  • CD3+ Pan T Cells: Encompassing all T cell subsets, vital for adaptive immunity
  • CD4+ T Helper Cells: Assist other immune cells in orchestrating immune responses
  • CD8+ Cytotoxic T Cells: Responsible for targeting and eliminating infected or malignant cells
