Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) grown in macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) have been used widely in studies of macrophage biology and the response to toll-like receptor agonists. We investigated whether similar cells could be derived from the domestic pig. Cultivation of pig ...

The macrophages of the airways are the first line of innate immune defense against inhaled pathogens. We showed that pig bronchoalveolar cells are composed of an heterogeneous alveolar macrophage (AM) population. The adherent AM non-adherent produce more TNF when stimulated with bacterial compound a...

The domestic pig (Sus scrofa) provides a large animal model for human innate immune responses and inflammation that is also economically important in its own right. Results: We demonstrate that macrophages can be harvested from 3 different compartments of the pig (lungs, blood and bone-marrow), cryo...
