Cd14 cells

Manufactured by STEMCELL

CD14+ cells are a specific type of immune cells that play a key role in the body's defense against infections and inflammation. They are a subset of monocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. CD14+ cells express the CD14 surface marker, which allows them to recognize and respond to bacterial components. These cells are important for innate immunity and can phagocytose and kill pathogens.

Generating Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells

To obtain human moDCs, blood samples were obtained from advanced stage PaC patients after providing written informed consent (Dr. George Zogopolous, McGill University Health Centre). Patient moDCs were generated from peripheral blood monocytes isolated by positive selection of CD14+ cells (StemCell Technologies, Inc., cat# 18058). Human monocytes were cultured in monocyte attachment media for 1 h. After 1 h, the media was replaced with DC differentiation (StemXVivo serum-free DC base media, cat# CCM003) supplemented with GM-CSF (50 ng/mL, cat# 300–03) and IL-4 (35 ng/mL, cat# 200–04) and 1B/TC inh. Monocytes were cultured for 6 d in the differentiation media. On day 3, half the volume of the differentiation media was replaced with new media and cytokines. On the day 6, the media was replaced with maturation media containing monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA-SM, 2 μg/mL, InvivoGen, cat# vac-mpla),33 (link) IFNγ (1000 U/mL, PeproTech, cat# 315–05) and 1B/TC inhibitor (4 μM).

Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cell Activation

Monocyte derived dendritic cells (DCs) were produced after selection of CD14+ cells (Stem Cell Technologies) from PBMCs isolated from a Buffy Coat, using the manufacturer’s instructions. CD14+ monocytes were cultured for 5 days in 7.5 ng/ml IL-4 (BD) and 20 ng/mL GMC-SF (Miltenyi Biotec). On day 4, 1 ng/ml of E. coli LPS (Sigma) was added to the cultures to mature the dendritic cells. Previously frozen PBMCs from patients and healthy controls were thawed and co-cultured with allogeneic DCs at 1:10 DCs to PBMCs with 5 μg/ml of blocking antibodies: anti-PD-1 (Clone J116, eBioScience), anti-TIGIT (Clone MBSA43, eBioScience), anti-TIM-3 (Clone F38-2E2, BioLegend), or Isotype control (Clone P3.6.2.8.1, eBioScience) in the presence of human Fc Block (BD). Cultures were kept at 37°C and 5% CO2 for five days and supernatants were collected and stored at −80°C.

Magnetic Isolation of Human Monocytes

Monocytes were isolated from PBMC by incubation with anti-CD14 antibody coupled to magnetic microspheres (EasySep Human CD14 Positive Selection Kit II), the tube with the mixture was placed on an EasySep magnet for immunomagnetic positive selection of CD14 + cells (StemCell). The purity of the magnetic selection was ≥95% in all cases. Monocytes were used for cell culture and an aliquot stored in RNAlater (Sigma Aldrich) for RNA isolation.

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.
