Differentiation of M1- or M2- Macrophages from PBMC/Monocytes

PromoCell GmbH
21 Oct 2014

Macrophages are tissue-resident professional phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells (APC), which differentiate from circulating peripheral blood monocytes. They perform important active and regulatory functions in innate as well as adaptive immunity. The PromoCell Macrophage Generation Media were designed for the straightforward and efficient differentiation of highly pure M1- or M2-macrophages directly from PBMC as a starting material. Included in this application note is a protocol overview using PromoCell M1-/M2-Macrophage Generation Medium DXF.

Cell Adhesion AssaysCell adhesion assays are used to quantitate attachment and analyze the molecular mechanisms for extracellular matrix adhesion, cell migration and sensitivity to inhibitors. Find the best cell adhesion assay equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
