Improved method for the isolation of purified mouse peritoneal macrophages

Improved method for the isolation of purified mouse peritoneal macrophages

M A Schon-Hegrad et al. J Immunol Methods. 1981.

Abstract

Mouse peritoneal macrophages were cultured for 45 min in medium supplemented with fetal calf serum (FCS) is petri dishes coated overnight with heat-inactivated FCS. After removal of non-adherent cells by washing, adherent cells were detached by a brief incubation in the presence of sub-toxic levels of ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA). Overall peritoneal macrophage recoveries of 90% can be routinely achieved with this method, and full cell viability is maintained.
