Abstract
A key observation of tissue injury, such as stroke and burn, is a state of systemic immunosuppression characterized by loss of T cells and rise of infections. Here, we present an in vitro model for cell-cell interactions between innate (macrophages) and adaptive (T cells) immune cells. This protocol facilitates bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and splenic T cells in a coculture model The procedure mimics injury-induced T cell death, which is driven by inflammasome activation in macrophages.
For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Roth et al. (2021).
