iCell Macrophages 2.0 Kit, 01279
Macrophages are phagocytic cells of the innate immune system. These cells are involved in degradation of cellular debris and pathogens, antigen presentation, and cytokine and chemokine release. Macrophages occur in almost all tissues, support maintenance of homeostasis, repair, and remodeling, especially after injury. Macrophages also play key roles within the tumor microenvironment, especially in angiogenesis and matrix remodeling.
iCell Macrophages 2.0 provide a simple, reproducible, and biologically relevant source of macrophages to model and interrogate innate immunity, inflammatory responses, and tissue function and stimulation. iCell Macrophages 2.0 are functionally naïve macrophages able to respond to pro- or anti-inflammatory stimulation, perform phagocytosis, and are ideal for use throughout your process workflow.
Reproducible Results High purity cells from FCDI’s Quality Controlled manufacturing process yields consistent, uniform macrophage function Speed to Assay Ready-to-use at thaw for rapid results; less time than differentiating from Peripheral Blood Monocytes or THP-1 leukemia cells Workflow Compatible Scalable, adaptable, and robust; able to be maintained for up to 14 days in culture

iCell Macrophages 2.0 exhibit a classic macrophage morphology, with an adherent monolayer, large rounded cells shape, cytoplasmic vacuoles, and pseudopodia. iCell Macrophages 2.0 also stain positive for the classic hematologic Wright Stain.
iCell Macrophages 2.0 have a robust cytokine response to pro- and anti- inflammatory stimulation, comparable to primary macrophages. Cells were plated into 96-well plates and allowed to recover for 3 days prior to treatment with the proinflammatory stimuli LPS (1 ug/ml) or IFNγ (50 ng/ml) or the anti-inflammatory stimuli IL-4 (50 ng/ml) and IL-13 (50 ng/ml). After 24 hours, supernatant cytokine levels were assayed using the Luminex Multiplex Assay system.
iCell Macrophages 2.0 were incubated with 100 ug/ml pHrodo labeled opsonized S. aureus bioparticles 3 days post-thaw. Images were captured on the IncuCyte S3 after 15 minutes and 5 hours. Overlay of phase and red fluorescence images.
iCell Macrophages 2.0 and peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages were plated in 50 ng/ml IFNγ. After 24 hours, rituximab (αCD20) and targets were added simultaneously. Targets were labeled with CllTrace-FarRed or CellTrace-CFSE. After 4 hours, cells were collected and stained with αCD11b to determine the % of double positive macrophages.
