Overview

ImmunoCult™-SF Macrophage Medium has been developed for the in vitro culture and differentiation of human monocytes into macrophages when the appropriate cytokines and stimuli are added. The factors for differentiation and activation of macrophages have not been added to ImmunoCult™-SF Macrophage Medium. This provides users the flexibility to prepare a medium that meets their requirements. The medium is a specialized serum-free culture medium that can be used to differentiate human monocytes into M1 (classically activated) and M2a (alternatively activated) macrophages in a 6- or 8-day culture period.
