Adoptive cell transfer of macrophages following peripheral nerve injury in mice

Summary: Macrophages are key innate immune cells involved in multiple biological processes, including peripheral nerve regeneration. Here, we describe a protocol for the adoptive cell transfer of bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) following sciatic nerve crush injury (SNCI). This procedure invo...

description Summary: Macrophages are key innate immune cells involved in multiple biological processes, including peripheral nerve regeneration. Here, we describe a protocol for the adoptive cell transfer of bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) following sciatic nerve crush injury (SNCI). This procedure involves isolating BMDMs from a donor mouse, potentially manipulating them ex vivo, and reintroducing them into an animal following SNCI. Preclinical studies show that BMDMs can infiltrate injured nerves and impact functional recovery, potentially providing a novel therapy for nerve injuries.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Jha et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
