This unit provides protocols for measuring the abundance and growth of macrophage precursors in agar cultures and the proliferation of isolated mature macrophages in vitro, by either direct cell counting or by DNA measurement.

In this article, we will discuss two main protocols we have used to visualize tissue-resident macrophages. Keywords: BABB; Brain; Clearing tissue methods; Embryo; Immunofluorescence; Light-sheet microscopy; Whole-mount; iDisco.

... macrophage' is a term used by pathologists to describe lung macrophages that have taken on a granular or vacuolated cytoplasmic appearance when viewed by light microscopy (Fig. 3). These...

The macrophages were stained and studied by light microscopy with higher magnification after 12 days of differentiation in 10% human AB positive human serum.

2018年3月14日 · In this article, we will review the advances in macrophage tracking and analysis with in vivo optical imaging in the context of different diseases. Moreover, this review will cover the challenges and solutions for optical imaging techniques during macrophage intravital imaging.

2021年8月2日 · We demonstrate the morphological changes of THP-1 monocyte-like cells, differentiated macrophages, and polarized M2-like macrophages using light microscopy. This model is the basis for cell line models investigating the anti-inflammatory effects of TAM and their interactions with other cell populations of the tumor microenvironment.

2023年3月6日 · How do macrophages look under microscope? Macrophages typically appear as large, irregularly-shaped cells with a distinct nucleus and abundant cytoplasm. They can form clusters and show different morphologies depending on their activation state, which can be influenced by various stimuli such as infections or tissue damage.

In this article, we will discuss two main protocols we have used to visualize tissue-resident macrophages. The most commonly used imaging technique to identify and localize macrophages in tissues is by immunofluorescence and image acquisition by …

Macrophages under the microscope The FLUMIAS experiment will investigate the cytoskeleton and nuclei of live human immune cells. The Live Cell Imaging method uses special dyes or fluorescent protein markers to highlight specific cell structures.

2023年3月5日 · Studying macrophages under a microscope can provide valuable insights into their interaction with other cells, their response to pathogens, and their maturation process. It can also help identify changes in macrophages that indicate disease or dysfunction, facilitating early detection and treatment.
