Protocol for enrichment of PBMCs with monocytes. The cell suspension obtained after this protocol contains 40-70% monocytes. This cell suspension is than used for positive or negative MACS separation. - [Read Enrichment of PBMCs with Monocytes Protocol]
This protocol uses the PBMC fraction enriched in with monocytes by density gradient centrifugations (protocol may be found at www.methods.info). Reduction of the amount of microbeads in comparison to Miltenyi protocol reduces the costs of the experiment. - [Read Isolation of Monocytes from Enriched PBMCs using CD14 Magnetic Beads Protocol]
MONOCYTE AND NEUTROPHIL ISOLATION. The protocol describes the method used for isolation of monocytes and neutrophils used in both the chemotaxis assay and microbicidal assays. Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group - [Read MONOCYTE AND NEUTROPHIL ISOLATION]
TransWell Chemotaxis protocol. trans-well chemotaxis method from bioprotocol. The protocol is a method for studying migration towards a concentration gradient of chemoattractant of leukocytes (neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes) or other migratory cells. An upper chamber containing a suspension of cells is separated by a membrane from a lower chamber containing medium with chemoattractant. Chemotaxis of the cells from the upper chamber into the lower chamber can be quantified. - [Read TransWell Chemotaxis Protocol.]
