Isolation of macrophages from mouse skin wounds for single-cell RNA sequencing
STAR Protocols(2022)
Abstract
Understanding macrophage heterogeneity in tissue repair is a major challenge. Here, we describe a protocol that combines isolation of immune cells from skin wounds with subsequent flow-cytometry-based sorting of wound macrophages and single-cell RNA sequencing. We use a modified version of the original Smart-seq2 protocol to increase speed and accuracy. This protocol is useful for analyzing the pronounced heterogeneity of activation phenotypes in wound macrophages and might be adapted to other experimental models of skin inflammation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Willenborg et al. (2021).
