A Flow Cytometric Method for Isolating Cystic Fibrosis Airway Macrophages from Expectorated Sputum.
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology 2019 Februrary 12
Research to understand the contribution of macrophages to non-resolving airway inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF) and other chronic suppurative airways diseases has been hindered by a lack of methods for isolating and studying theses cells. With the development of technologies that can characterize small numbers of cells or individual cells, there is an even greater need for methodologies to isolate rare cells in heterogeneous specimens. Here, we describe a method that overcomes the technical obstacles imposed by sputum debris and apoptotic cells, and allows isolation of pure populations of macrophages from CF sputum. In addition to enhancing our ability to study human CF airway macrophages, this protocol can be adapted to study cells in sputum from other chronic suppurative lung diseases (e.g., COPD), and used for isolation of individual cells for single cell analyses.
