Uptake of dead cells by D2SC1/Raw/Flt3-DC/GM-DC
Laboratory protocol
Staining of D2SC1/Flt3-DC and staining of the cells to be taken up by Mini67-1KT or Mini26-1KT (PKH67/PKH26 green/red fluorescent cell linker mini kit for general cell membrane labelling) from Sigma
Staining of GM-DC/Raw with anti-CD11c antibodies
Coculture of DCs and cells to be taken up (1(-2)x105 + 1(-2)x105 cells in 12-well) for 4 h to 24 h at 37°C
Take supernatant and freeze at -80°C for analysis of DC-stimulation
Trypsinize cells have and fix in 4 % PFA (or formalin)
FACS analysis
