Stemcell, 70042, Human Peripheral Blood Macrophages, Frozen

Start with ready-to-use, ethically sourced, primary human macrophages. With personalized service, custom products, flexible delivery times, and the option to reserve entire lots to prescreen cells for applications, we help you get the cells you need.

Immunomagnetically selected peripheral blood monocytes are cultured in RPMI 1640 Medium (Catalog #36750) + 10% FBS, M-CSF, and IL-4 for 5 days to generate macrophages. IL-4 in combination with M-CSF may induce M2a-like properties. Cells are collected using Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved consent forms and protocols and cryopreserved in animal component-free CryoStor®CS10 medium (Catalog #07930). Additional documentation and high-resolution HLA typing (Class I and Class II alleles and CMV status) are available upon request. Acid-citrate-dextrose solution A (ACDA) is added during collection as an anticoagulant. Donor specifications (e.g. BMI category, smoking status, ethnicity, etc.) can be requested in the comment box above. Donors are screened for HIV-1, HIV-2, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
