Isolation of mouse Kupffer cells for phenotypic and functional studies

Summary: Here, we provide detailed protocols for the isolation of mouse Kupffer cells – the liver-resident macrophages – for phenotypic (e.g., via flow cytometry, mass cytometry, or RNA-sequencing) analyses or for functional experiments involving cell culture. The procedures presented can be adapted...

Description
Summary:Summary: Here, we provide detailed protocols for the isolation of mouse Kupffer cells – the liver-resident macrophages – for phenotypic (e.g., via flow cytometry, mass cytometry, or RNA-sequencing) analyses or for functional experiments involving cell culture. The procedures presented can be adapted for the isolation of other hepatic cell populations.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to De Simone et al. (2021).
