Isolation and Polarization of Rat Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages

The femur was isolated from euthanized Wistar male rats and marrow was flushed into a cold PBS solution containing 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Mechanically dissociated cells were incubated on ice with three volume of 0.8% NH4Cl solution to remove red blood cells. 106 cells/cm2 were seeded in tissue culture plates (Corning Constar) and cultured in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM, Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% v/v penicillin-streptomycin (Life Technologies) 10ng/ml M-CSF (RayBiotech). After 7 days, bone marrow-derived macrophages (MΦ) were polarized to inflammatory M1 with IMDM, 1% v/v penicillin-streptomycin, 10ng/ml M-CSF supplemented with 100ng/ml TNFα (ApexBio) and 100ng/ml IFNγ (RayBiotech). The non-inflammatory BMDM-M2 profile was induced by supplementing the culture medium with 20ng/ml IL-4, 20ng/ml IL-10 and 20ng/ml IL13 (RayBiotech).

Cytokine Analysis in Stroke Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For cytokine analysis, 2 months old males (6 animals per group) were used. At 1, 4 or 7 days after stroke the animals were anesthetized and their blood flushed out with 20ml cold PBS via transcardial perfusion. Then, the brains were harvested and cut to 1mm thick coronal sections. After a quick TTC staining, infarct core (approximate 2 by 2 mm) was dissected out and frozen with liquid nitrogen. Since we found that the most anterior sections, containing the striatum area, produced the most comparable size between the cortical strokes in each type of model, we limited the cytokine analysis to the first half of the brain. For cytokine analysis, brain tissue was subject to multiplex ELISA analysis through the Quantibody Mouse Cytokine Array for the following cytokines/chemokines: bFGF, BLC, CD30L, eotaxin, eotaxin-2, FasL, G-CSF, GM-CSF, ICAM, IFN-γ, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, IL-21, KC, leptin, LIX, MCP-1, MCP-5, M-CSF, MIG, MIP-1a, MIP-1g, PF-4, RANTES, TARC, TCA-3, TNF RI, TNF RII, TNFα (RayBiotech Inc.).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
