This video demonstrates a method of converting dendritic cells (DCs) to tolerogenic DCs (TolDCs) using an immunomodulatory pharmacological agent. This conversion is confirmed by evaluating the TolDC function through their immunosuppressive effect on CD4+ T cells.
Protocol
1. Evaluate the Function of TolDCs In Vitro and In Vivo T-cell Syngeneic Proliferation Assay Sterilize all the surgical instruments via autoclaving and perform the experiment in a class II biological safety cabinet with appropriate safety procedures. Prepare MACS buffer using 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 2 mM EDTA in 500 ml PBS. Sterilize the buffer by filtering through a 0.2 µm filter. NOTE: Keep t…
