Try T-cell purification columns (e.g., CD4+). R&D Systems columns are pretty
good. Takes around 30 mins to prepare the cells (RBC lysis, centrifugation,
etc.) and another 30 mins to obtain the final pellet. Yield is ~30% and
purity is ~90%. But I still think you will need some help with 125 mice.. :)
