Abstract
Source: Liaqat, F., et al., Determination of Vaccine Immunogenicity Using Bovine Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells. J. Vis. Exp. (195), (2023).
This video demonstrates a monocyte-derived dendritic cell, MoDC-based assay to measure the immunogenicity of commercially available vaccines. MoDC assays investigate dendritic cell responses to antigens, pathogens, or treatments and can provide insights into immune responses, vaccine development, and immunotherapy research.
Protocol
1. Production of Naïve MoDCs NOTE: Whole blood samples were obtained from a single pathogen-free calf by jugular vein puncture with heparinized vacutainers (eight 9 mL blood tubes were used for this study). Transport the blood in an ice box. Store the samples at 2-4 °C for later use, or process them immediately. Keep the blood rotating to avoid blood clotting. Sterilize the vacutainers with 70% ethanol. All the following experiments were performed with…
