Did you find it before? How did you get it? Thank you in advance Susan From lloarca76 from yahoo.com Tue Jul 14 14:55:47 2009 From: lloarca76 from yahoo.com (lloarca76@yahoo.com) Date: Tue Jul 14 15:19:11 2009 Subject: [Immunology] neutrophil isolation protocol Message-ID: <604835.83855.qm@web32405.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hello Bryan, ? I read the protocol you posted online that describes how to isolate neutrophils from blood.? Is it possible to use this protocol to isolate neutrophils from liver biopsies of people with chronic liver diseases? ? Actually, I need to isolate neutrophils, DCs and Kupffer cells and I haven't found a protocol that I can use for the separation of the three types of cells.? If you know a protocol that addresses this, I would greatly appreciate that information. ? Thanks a lot, ?

Message-ID: <1b1736c9-1368-4157-a161-8f09165fd27e@u38g2000pro.googlegroups.com> I'm helping a modeler try to tackle a hairy vaccine dose prediction problem, and need to scare up some data. Several hours of lit searches have yielded some, but not enough information. Once I got past all the hybridoma and tumor cell production rate papers, I found several old papers on antibody production rates in various primary cell systems. Most of it was ex vivo, but little was done to try to correlate that data with in vivo observation (either tissue-specific rates or peripheral blood concentration). Also, there is a broad range of estimates depending on the analysis done to make those estimates (2000 molecules/cell/min to about seven times that). Is anyone aware if there are direct comparisons done on rodent v. primate Ab production rates? In other words, is there a reason to think that a maximally stimulated rodent plasma cell would produce dramatically more or less IgM or IgG than a comparable human cell?
