Figure 1. Cryopreserved Monocytes Differentiate into Dendritic Cells and Secrete IL-12 (p70) and IL-23 Upon Activation
Monocytes freshly isolated from a Leuko Pak (Catalog #70500) using EasySep™ Human Monocyte Isolation Kit (Catalog #19359) or cryopreserved Monocytes (Catalog #70034) were cultured for 6 days in RPMI 1640 Medium (Catalog #36750) with 10% FBS, 0.1 mM MEM Non-Essential Amino Acid Solution (100X, Catalog #07600), 2mM L-Glutamine (Catalog #07100), 1mM Sodium Pyruvate (Catalog #07000) and 50µM β-mercaptoethanol. Human Recombinant IL-4 (Catalog #78045) and Human Recombinant GM-CSF (Catalog #78015) were added on days 1, 3 and 6 to differentiate monocytes into DCs. Cells were either left unstimulated (control) or stimulated with LPS and Human Recombinant IFN-γ (Catalog #78020) (activated). Activation led to secretion of (A) IL-12 (p70) and (B) IL-23, which were not detectable in unstimulated controls as measured using the Human IL-12 (p70) ELISA Kit (Catalog #02014) and the Human IL-23 ELISA Kit (Catalog #02016), respectively. *Cytokine concentration of control in culture was lower than the limit of detection.
