On day 3, the cytokine-supplemented medium was refreshed. On day 7, DCs and macrophages were plated into fresh plates of 96 wells (1.5 × 105 per well) or 24 wells (1 × 106 cells per well) in complete medium and stimulated for 5 h with 1 μg ml−1E. coli-derived LPS (serotype O55:B5) either alone or in combination with 1 mM ATP added to the culture for the last 30 min.

The cells were grown in a humidified incubator (Forma Steri-Cycle ThermoFisher with HEPA filter, 5% CO2) at 37 °C and maintained with a split ratio of 1:15 at 80% of confluence in T75 flasks (Nunc). Trypsine/EDTA 0.05% from Hyclone was used to detach cell cultures from flasks. Dulbecco Phosphate Buffered Saline without calcium and magnesium (DPBS) from Gibco and Phosphate Buffered Saline 1x (PBS) from Hyclone, were used for washing cells.

hESCs were treated with 0.5 mg/ml Dispase (Invitrogen) in DMEM/F12 for 5 minutes at 37°C. Clumps were mechanically detached and transferred to low attachment plates (Corning) in IMDM (Invitrogen), 15% FBS (Hyclone), 1% MEM-NEA, 0.3 μM BME (Invitrogen) and, 1% penicillin/streptomycin (100 U/ml, Invitrogen)/1mM L-glutamine (P/S/G). Medium was changed every 2 days and supplemented with 10 ng/ml BMP-4 (R&D Systems), 50 ng/ml FLT-3L (Peprotech) and 300 ng/ml SCF (Peprotech) at day 4 of EB differentiation. BMP-4 was removed from the culture medium at day 12. EBs were harvested at 2 weeks and dissociated with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA (Invitrogen) with 2% chick serum (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 minutes at 37°C with periodic agitation and filtered with 70 μm cell strainer.

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.
