PBP014KZZ FN 1 ml
Bovine Dendritic cell growth kit (PBP014KZZ) contains a cocktail of biologically active interleukin-4 (IL-4) and granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) that have been premixed at optimal concentrations to induce dendritic cell development from peripheral blood-derived bovine (cattle) monocytes.

Applications of Bovine Dendritic Cell Growth Kit

This product has been reported to work in the following applications. This information is derived from testing within our laboratories, peer-reviewed publications or personal communications from the originators.

Where this reagent has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the reagent for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Recommended Protocol
1. Prepare peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from heparinised blood by density gradient centrifugation.

2. Purify CD14+ve cells by labelling PBMC with CD14 mAb and utilise magnetic bead or flow cytometric separation techniques.

3. Resuspend the isolated CD14+ve cells at a concentration of 1x106 cells/ml in tissue culture medium (TCM = RPMI or equivalent + 10% foetal calf serum) containing a final dilution of 1:20 of PBP014KZZ .

4. Add 3ml of cell suspension to each well of a 6 well tissue culture plate.

5. Culture cells in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air, at approximately 37oC.

6. Culture cells for 3 days. The cells may then be harvested and used for other procedures including immunophenotyping (as required).

7. If a longer culture period is required the cells must be ‘fed’ with new TCM containing cytokines on day 3:
Carefully remove 1ml spent medium from each well, care is required to avoid disturbing the cells.
Add 1.5ml fresh, pre-warmed TCM containing cytokines at 1:20 to each well and re-culture the DC for required culture period (typically up to 7 days).

8. At the end of the culture period adherent and non-adherent cells can be pooled for use in immunoassays and phenotyped (as required). Adherent cells may require a dissociation step to remove them from the plate.
