This video demonstrates the activation of a mouse's peritoneal macrophages using intravenous immunoglobulin and bacterial lipopolysaccharide. The co-stimulation activates the peritoneal macrophages into anti-inflammatory macrophages possessing immune regulatory activity.
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board.
