Dendritic cells are important for understanding the immune response and can be produced in a simplified manner using conventional and serum-free media. These cells can be used for flow cytometry-based antigen presentation assays with fresh or frozen cells. The simplified protocols described in this study are significant for studying cell-mediated immune responses in bovine.
Dendritic cells are sentinels of the immune system responsible for the initiation of adaptive immune mechanisms. In that respect, the study of these cells is essential for a full understanding of host response to infectious agents and vaccines. In ruminants, the large blood volume facilitates the isolation of abundant monocytes and their derivation to other antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. However, the available protocols for the production of bovine monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) rely mostly on time-consuming and costly techniques such as density gradient centrifugation and magnetic sorting of cells. In this study, we describe a simplified protocol for the production of bovine moDC using conventional and serum-free media. We also employ moDC produced by this approach to carry out a flow cytometry-based antigen presentation assay adapted to blood fresh or frozen cells. The experimental strategies described here might enable the setup of studies involving a large number of individuals, requiring a large number of dendritic cells, or relying on the utilization of cryopreserved blood cells. These simplified protocols might contribute to the elucidation of cell-mediated immune responses in bovine.
