This video describes a protocol for the generation of dendritic cells–key antigen-presenting cells that activate T cells–from the bone marrow of an adult mouse.

Protocol

1. Generate bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BM-DCs). Isolate bone marrow from the femurs and tibias of WT or factor B (fB)-/- mice on the B6 background. Briefly, collect the tibia and femur from both legs using forceps and scissors. Put them in ice-cold RPMI containing 1% FCS and 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin and 2 mM L-glutamine (1% RPMI) in 50 mL conical tubes. Clean the femur and the tibia bones thoroughly by removing all the muscle tissues using forceps and scissors. Transfer the f…
