Abstract

Source: Mily, A., et al. Polarization of M1 and M2 Human Monocyte-Derived Cells and Analysis with Flow Cytometry upon Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection. J. Vis. Exp.(2020). This video demonstrates a method to study the responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in human M1 and M2 polarized monocyte-derived macrophages. The use of flow cytometry enables the study of a variety of surface markers associated with infected and uninfected macrophage populations.
