Mass production of human airway-like neutrophils via transmigration in an organotypic model of human airways.

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils are difficult to study, particularly in tissues, due to their short half-life and propensity for activation. We describe an organotypic airway model that uses patient airway fluid to enable the transmigration of blood neutrophils to acquire an airway-like phenotype in order to better understand their contribution to airway diseases. In particular, we showcase how conditioned neutrophils modulate their bacteria-killing abilities. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Margaroli et al. (2021).
