RESUMO
Objective:To establish a method for isolating tumor infiltrating dendritic cells(TIDC)from mice models of Lewis lung cancer by positive selection using anti-CD11c magnetic beads.Methods:A total of 1.0?10~6 Lewis lung cancer cells were subcutaneously injected into a C57BL/6 mice at the lateral abdominal wall to establish the mouse model of lung cancer.TIDC were isolated positively using anti-mouse CD11c magnetic beads;they were labeled by anti-mouse CD11c,and then the purity of the isolated cells was tested by FACScan flow cytometer.The cells were also double labeled by PE-conjugated MHC-ⅡmAb and FITC-conjugated CD83 mAb or FITC-conjugated CD86 mAb to analyze the phenotype of cells by FACScan flow cytometer.Results:The positive selection using anti-CD11 c magnetic beads isolated(1.73?0.31)?10~6 TIDC from each gram of Lewis lung cancer tissue,which accounted for(2.18?0.29)%of the cells in the tumor tissues.The purity of TIDC was 96.49%.Electron microscope showed that the isolated TIDC had the typical character of DC cells.The positive rates of MHC-Ⅱ,CD83 and CD86 molecules in TIDC surface were(51.25?4.21)%, (3.48?0.34)%and(3.07?0.65)%,respectively.Conclusion:The positive selection using anti-CD11c magnetic beads is highly effective,simple,and economic,and is worth popularizing.
