See Supplemental Experimental Procedures for details of cells and assays used. iPSCs were differentiated to macrophages as previously described (van Wilgenburg et al., 2013 (link)). In short, 3 × 106 iPSCs were seeded into an Aggrewell 800 well (STEMCELL Technologies) to form EBs, in mTeSR1 and fed daily with medium plus 50 ng/mL BMP4 (Peprotech), 50 ng/mL VEGF (Peprotech), and 20 ng/mL SCF (Miltenyi Biotec). Four-day EBs were then differentiated in either 6-well plates (15 EBs/well), T75 (75 EBs), or T175 flasks (150 EBs) in X-VIVO15 (Lonza), supplemented with 100 ng/mL M-CSF (Invitrogen), 25 ng/mL IL-3 (R&D), 2 mM Glutamax (Invitrogen), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Invitrogen), and 0.055 mM β-mercaptoethanol (Invitrogen), with fresh medium added weekly. pMacpre emerging into the supernatant after approximately 1 month were collected weekly and differentiation cultures replenished with fresh medium. Harvested cells were strained (40 μm, Corning) and used: either directly as pMacpre; or plated onto tissue-culture treated plastic or glass coverslips at 100,000 per cm2 and differentiated for 7 days or more to pMac in X-VIVO15 with 100 ng/mL M-CSF, 2 mM Glutamax, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin; or co-cultured with iPSC-derived neurons.

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.
