Historical Perspective • Early 20th Century Technique • Antibiotics and Laminar Flow Hoods Allow for Tissue Culturing to Grow Exponentially • Unfortunately NOT commonly taught in a classroom setting
Outline • Primary Cells vs Cell lines • Acquisition of Specimens • Processing • Quantitation and Culturing • Propagating Cells For Long Periods • Cryopreservation • Conclusion
Cell Lines • American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) • Collaborators • Easy To Grow • Option To Cryopreserve For Future
Human Cells • Monocytes • T-cells • B-cells • NK Cells • Dendritic Cells • Neutrophils • Biopsies
Human Blood • Density Gradient Centrifugation • Extraction of PBMCs • Magnetic Bead Separation
Non-Human Cells • Payers Patches • Spleen • Alveolar M
Dissociation Of Cells • Mechanical Digestion (Syringe, Frosted Slides) • Collagenase D • 1 hour @ 37C • Filtering Step • Suspension into Medium
Staining Cells • Trypan Blue Viability Assessment • Turks Solution • Glacial Acetic Acid and crystal blue
Cell Counts Using Hemocytometer X X D.F 25 104 =0.50x106 cells/mL
Media Formulations • RPMI 1640 • Antibiotics • FBS/Human AB • -ME • L-glutamine • Filtering Flasks
Culturing • Enhancing Proliferation IL-2, -CD3/ -CD28 • Limiting Proliferation FBS Reduction to 2% CFSE
Flow Cytometry 0 0 20 4 foxp3-PE CD8-PerCP 73 31 27 45 foxp3-PE CD4-FITC PGE2
Viability LPS Medium 9 9 85 85 4 5 LPS+PGE2 PGE2 5 5 91 90 2 4
Cryopreservation • Collect Cells, Spin, Count • Resuspend in 90% FBS+10 DMSO • DMSO/FBS 4°C • Store @–150 °C
Contamination Issues • Sterile Incubator • Thawing Step Source of Contamination • Spray with 70% Ethanol, gloves • Sterile Hood • Sterile Hands • Minimize Exposure to Open Air
Conclusions • Tissue Culturing Training Is An Essential Skill • Biological Safety Cabinets Are The limiting Step • Labor Intensive Class With Focus On Practical Training • Greatest Challenge Is The Capital Investment and Commitment A University Must Make
