The assessment of macrophage function has been a topic of intense discussion due to multiple subtypes. This protocol describes the collection of bone marrow cells from the femur and tibia of mice, differentiation into bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM cells), and sampling from cultures. This protocol focuses on the efficient preparation of BMDM cells, providing a way to assess the function of macrophages. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Toda et al. (2020).
由于存在多种亚型,巨噬细胞功能的评估一直是一个热门话题。本方案描述了从小鼠股骨和胫骨中收集骨髓细胞、将其分化为骨髓来源的巨噬细胞(BMDM 细胞)以及从培养物中取样的过程。本方案侧重于高效制备 BMDM 细胞,为评估巨噬细胞的功能提供了一种方法。如需详细了解本方案的使用和执行,请参考 Toda 等人(2020 年)的文献。
