Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) possess the ability to suppress the immune response, and to amplify the regulatory properties of other immune cells, dendritic cells. Here we describe a protocol in which MDSCs were differentiated from murine bone marrow cells, and CD11c dendritic cells were purified from murine spleens. MDSCs and CD11c dendritic cells can be co-cultured and the immunoregulatory phenotype of the MDSCs-conditioned dendritic cells could be assessed by means of a specific functional experiment, a skin test as a measure of the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction toward a poorly immunogenic antigen.
髓源性抑制细胞(MDSCs)具有抑制免疫反应以及增强其他免疫细胞(树突状细胞)调节特性的能力。在此,我们描述一种方案,即从鼠骨髓细胞中分化出MDSCs,并从鼠脾脏中纯化出CD11c树突状细胞。MDSCs和CD11c树突状细胞可进行共培养,并且可通过一项特定功能实验(以皮肤试验作为对低免疫原性抗原迟发型超敏反应的一种测量方法)来评估经MDSCs处理的树突状细胞的免疫调节表型。
