THP-1 cells were differentiated into intermediate-stage M0 cells by treatment with 300 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, #S7791, Selleckchem) for 48 h. Subsequently, M1 and M2 macrophages were induced with 20 ng/mL IFN-γ (#AF-345-05-20 µG, Proteintech) for 48 h and 20 ng/mL IL-4 (#AF-214-14-5 µG, Proteintech), respectively, for 48 h on the basis of M0 macrophages. For ESCC TAMs, M0, M1, and M2 macrophages were coincubated with conditioned medium produced by ESCC cells. Note: THP-1 cells are oval suspension cells, M0 TAMs grow adherently but are oval in shape, M1 TAMs are irregular in shape with multiple radial antennae, and M2 TAMs are fusiform with elongated antennae on both sides. These morphological features were used to observe macrophages after treatment with conditioned media.

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.
