Monocytes
HI. This is gated among single live cells of human PBMC (patients). 1st image PBMCs are thawed, stained and passed on a cytometer. 2nd, same staining after 24h culture (1M/ml if RPMI 10% FBS 1% P/S). Culture is done in 12 well plates. Cells are recovered and then the bottom is scraped to recover attached cells.
I have one population after thawing, but which is clearly composed of high CD33 and high CD14 cells. After culture, I have 2 distinct populations. The high ones and the one with 1D14 very low/negative. Both populations express CD11c and HLA-DR, are negative for CD3, CD56, CD19 , CD20.
When activated with IFNg, only the CD14high CD33 up regulate PD-L1, the CD14 low cells have keep the basal level (almost no expression).
I don't know much about myeloid cells. What is the population that becomes CD14 very low? Can it be an artefact?
Thank you for all the help:
