Neutrophil Isolation and Analysis to Determine their Role in Lymphoma Cell Sensitivity to Therapeutic Agents

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells. The isolation of neutrophils from human blood by density gradient separation method and the differentiation of human promyelocytic (HL60) cells along the granulocytic pathway are described here; to test their role on sensitivity of lymphoma cells to anti-lymphoma agents.

Determining the Role of Neutrophil-Like Cells in Lymphoma Cell Sensitivity to a Test Drug

This video demonstrates an assay investigating the role of neutrophil-like cells in safeguarding lymphoma cells against the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents. A 3D co-culture, consisting of lymphoma and neutrophil-like cells, is established and exposed to vincristine—a chemotherapy drug. Direct contact with the neutrophil-like cells induces an upregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins in the lymphoma cells, thereby promoting their survival in the presence of...

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Tumor Engraftment in a Xenograft Mouse Model of Human Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a difficult to treat B cell disorder and it is equally difficult to establish a xenograft mouse model of primary MCL to study and develop therapeutics. Here, we describe the successful establishment of MCL xenografts in mice to help understand its underlying...
