Protocol for Long-Term Monocultures of Murine Macrophages Derived from Distinct Adult Tissues.
STAR Protocols(2024)
Abstract
Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) constitute the first line of defense against infection in all organs and perform organ-specific functions during tissue homeostasis. Here, we present a protocol for long-term monocultures of murine macrophages from different adult organs, including the brain, liver, peritoneal cavity, and lung. We describe steps for tissue preparation and the use of a combination of organotypic conditions to maintain a TRM-like identity in vitro, resulting in an ideal screening platform for a wide range of assays and readouts. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Aktories et al.1.
