Joseph, try the following site
http://www.the-scientist.com/yr1999/sept/cell_990913.pdf It lists the
websites to several companies that provide cell separation media and
methods. Of course the procedure you choose will be need to be based on why
you are removing the lymphocytes (do you want just B cells, T cells, etc.or
would it be allright if a few RBC's or other WBC's remain with the
lymphocytes). We routinely use a solution called Lymphoprep to separate
PBMC's from heparinized whole blood so that we can extract DNA from the
PBMC's and perform PCR testing.
Good Luck,
