Description

Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages are primary immune cells differentiated from monocytes isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy adult donors. To maintain their native phenotype and function, cells are typically cryopreserved at early passages. In vitro, they adhere to culture surfaces and display an irregular, spread-out morphology. Macrophages are central to both innate and adaptive immunity, migrating to sites of tissue damage and responding to inflammatory stimuli. They express key surface markers such as CD14 (a co-receptor for LPS detection), CD68 (a lysosomal marker associated with phagocytosis), and HLA-DR (an MHC class II molecule involved in antigen presentation). The expression profile of these markers reflects the activation status, polarization state, and immunological function of the macrophages. Due to their physiological relevance and functional plasticity, they are widely used in studies of host defense, inflammation, immunomodulation, and macrophage polarization.

Application

  • Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages serve as a crucial research model due to the challenges associated with obtaining tissue macrophages in large quantities. They offer a valuable means to investigate various aspects of the immune system, macrophage-targeted therapies and polarization studies. Additionally, these macrophages are utilized to explore the immunopharmacological effects of compounds, such as their immunostimulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages and how to get them?

    Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages are immune cells derived from peripheral blood monocytes. These monocytes are selected using immunomagnetic techniques and then cultured for five days in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and interleukin 4 (IL-4) to differentiate them into macrophages.

  • What roles do macrophages play in the immune system?

    Macrophages play crucial roles in both innate and cell-mediated immunity. They are involved in the body’s defense against infections by engulfing and destroying pathogens, clearing dead cells, and releasing signals that activate other immune cells. They are predominantly derived from peripheral blood monocytes, which migrate to various tissues in response to chemical signals from damaged tissues or chemotactic signals released by other cell types.

  • How does AcceGen ensure the quality and safety of Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages?

    AcceGen ensures the quality and safety of Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages through a rigorous acquisition process. The cells are obtained using consent forms and protocols approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Donors undergo comprehensive testing for HIV-1, HIV-2, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C to ensure the cells are obtained from individuals who tested negative for these viruses before donation.

  • Why are Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages from AcceGen preferred for research?

    Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages from AcceGen are preferred for research due to their rigorous selection and differentiation process, ensuring high quality and purity. The use of approved protocols and thorough donor screening for infectious diseases enhances the reliability and safety of the cells, making them suitable for various research applications in immunology and cell biology.

  • What are the key applications of Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages in scientific research?

    Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages are used in scientific research to study immune responses, the mechanisms of innate and cell-mediated immunity, and the role of macrophages in disease and health. They are valuable for investigating how macrophages respond to infections, clear dead cells, and communicate with other immune cells, which is critical for developing new therapies and understanding immune system functions
