This invention relates to a detection system for measuring a fluorescent signal in a fluorescent assay. The system comprises a probe having a small sensing surface bound with a fluorescent label, and a light source and a detector both mounted at the proximal side of the sensing surface of the substrate. The invention also relates to a method for detecting an analyte in a liquid sample using a probe tip having a small surface area (≦5 mm) and a high molecular weight polymer (≧1 MD) having multiple binding molecules and multiple fluorescent labels. The binding reaction is accelerated by flowing the reaction solutions laterally and moving the probe tip up and down in the reaction vessels. The invention furthers relates to a fluorescent labeling composition comprising a cross-linked Ficoll molecule having a plurality of binding molecules and a plurality of fluorescent labels.

There is provided a method for the isolation and cultivation of mesenchymal stem / progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood, and also to a method for the differentiation of the umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem / progenitor cells into various mesenchymal tissues. The method include overlaying umbilical cord blood onto Ficoll-Hypaque solution; centrifuging the umbilical cord blood on the Ficoll-Hypaque solution to obtain a mononuclear cell layer; reacting cells obtained by monolayer culture of the mononuclear cells with antibodies to mesenchymal stem / progenitor cell-specific antigens for a predetermined period of incubation time; isolating only cells bound to their corresponding antibodies using a cell sorter; and cultivating the isolated cells, thereby obtaining mesenchymal stem / progenitor cells with high purity and excellent viability.

The invention relates to a simple and effective method for extracting blood immune cells, a cryopreservation and resuscitation method used with the former method and a method for proliferating the immune cells after resuscitation. The methods include the steps of whole-blood sample pretreatment, Ficoll separation, MNC (mononuclear cell) collection and washing, MNC counting, MNC cryopreservation, cell resuscitation and cell proliferation. By the aid of extraction, cryopreservation, resuscitation and proliferation with specific operation steps, the immune cells can be effectively obtained and used for treating tumors.

The invention relates to a method for separating and extracting stem cells from a placenta, umbilical cord or adipose tissue, which comprises the following process steps: firstly mixing the placenta, umbilical cord or adipose tissue and a cell maintenance fluid according to the proportion by weight of 2.5-4:1, putting the mixture into a tissue crushing barrel, adding collagenase after crushing, uniformly mixing, hatching at the temperature of 37 DEG C, filtering, adding a precipitator, sucking a supernatant fluid after settling, centrifuging, removing the supernatant fluid, adding concentrated cells into a liquid of diatrizoate sodium-ficoll 400#, then centrifuging, collecting 10-15 ml of intermediate cell layer, washing with the cell maintenance fluid, counting the collected cells, and providing the cells for clinical use when the cell survival ratio is more than or equal to 95 percent. The invention not only realizes the separation and the extraction of all stem cells from the placenta, umbilical cord or adipose tissue, but also realizes industrialized production, and enables doctors to conveniently, safely and canonically obtain the adult stem cells in clinic and use the adult stem cells for treating the diseases of patients as using medicaments, thereby solving the bottleneck problem of difficult obtainment of adult stem cells in clinic and popularizing a cell treatment technology.

An industrial preparation of natural killer cells (NKs) is produced by: using umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood from legitimate sources as raw materials, obtaining stem cells by a method for extracting and separating karyocytes, or using FICOLL® or PERCOLL® density gradient media centrifugation to isolate and screen out karyocytes; diluting the above-mentioned karyocytes with cell culture medium, adding interferon, interleukin, CD3 antibody, and human albumin, loading them together into a bioreactor for perfusion culture, and then performing multiplication culture; the passage number of natural killer cells from multiplication culture is no less than 8, and the culture time is no less than 4 weeks; the markers of the natural killer cells obtained after the multiplication culture are CD3−\CD56+, CD16+, CD57+, and CD8+, wherein CD16+ / CD56+≥15%, CD3− / CD56+≥50%, and CD8+ / CD57+≥8%; then preparing an injection with a certain concentration using the cell suspension obtained by above-mentioned method.
