Isolation, Ex Vivo Expansion, and Lentiviral Transduction of Alveolar Macrophages. In: Mass, E. (eds) Tissue-Resident Macrophages
Published in Methods in Molecular Biology, 2023
In this protocol, we provide a detailed methodology on how to harvest alveolar macrophages and expand them in culture. We also provide a technical guidance on how to genetically modify this macrophage in culture by using lentiviral vector, which provides a potential application for studying gene function and gene and cellular therapy.
