“…PBMCs were differentiated by the macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (10 ng/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich, Burlington, MA, USA) in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% FCS (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) with harvesting after 5 days. Phenotypical maturation of monocyte-derived macrophages was confirmed by light microscopy and flow cytometry with specific antibodies to CD14+ and CD68+ (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), as described earlier [18,21].…”
