Here, we present a protocol to isolate microglia from postnatal mouse pups (day 1) for in vitro experimentation. This improvised method of isolation generates both high yield and purity, a significant advantage over alternate methods that allows broad range experimentation for the purposes of elucidating microglial biology.

Here we describe the model and approach to study functions of pulmonary alveolar macrophages in cancer metastasis. To demonstrate the role of these cells in metastasis, the syngeneic (4T1) model of breast cancer in conjunction with the depletion of alveolar macrophage with clodronate liposomes was used.

This video demonstrates an in vitro assay to generate plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) from common lymphoid progenitor cells (CLPs). Upon co-culturing purified CLPs with γ-irradiated feeder cells in the presence of Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 ligand (FL), the CLPs differentiate into non-adherent pDCs, the presence of which is confirmed using flow cytometry.

The health status of the lung is reflected by the type and number of immune cells that are present in the bronchioles of the lung. We describe a bronchoalveolar lavage technique that allows the isolation and study of nonadherent cells and soluble factors from the lower respiratory tract of mice.
FAQs
A combined expression pattern helps distinguish myeloid populations that may share one marker but differ in the others. Interpreting CD11c, CD11b, and F4/80 together therefore provides a more informative profile than assigning cell identity from one signal alone. This approach is especially important when analyzing heterogeneous samples containing dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages.
Marker expression can vary according to both tissue location and cellular activation state. Consequently, the same marker pattern may not have identical significance in every sample or experimental condition. Comparing patterns within the relevant tissue and biological context helps prevent overinterpretation and supports more accurate characterization of myeloid populations during inflammation or pathogen exposure.
The panel supports analysis of heterogeneity by revealing differences in marker expression among related myeloid cells. Rather than treating all CD11c-, CD11b-, or F4/80-positive cells as one population, researchers can examine their combined profiles and relate those patterns to dendritic cells, monocytes, or macrophages. This improves interpretation of changing innate immune responses.
Fluorescently labeled antibodies bind the selected cell-surface markers, creating signals that can be detected in individual cells. Flow cytometry measures these signals across cells, whereas microscopy provides a visual method for examining marker expression. The chosen detection approach allows investigators to characterize myeloid populations and compare marker patterns under different experimental conditions.
In infection studies, the panel can be used to follow recruitment and expansion of myeloid populations during inflammation or pathogen exposure. Changes in marker patterns may help describe how dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages respond as the immune reaction develops. These measurements connect cellular composition with broader changes in innate immune responses.
Additional markers help support cell classification because CD11c, CD11b, and F4/80 expression can vary with tissue and activation state. The three-marker pattern is therefore informative but may not be sufficient for confident identification in every context. Combining it with other markers strengthens interpretation and reduces the risk of assigning cells solely from an incomplete profile.
