Abstract
Methods for the isolation and characterization of mononuclear phagocytes from the kidneys of mice with SLE are essential to understand the patho-physiology of the disease. Activation of these cells is associated with the onset of clinical disease in mice and infiltration with these cells is associated with poor prognosis in humans.An analysis of the function of these cells should lead to a better understanding of the inflammatory processes that lead to renal impairment in SLE and other renal inflammatory diseases.

Procedure
Notes
Kidneys need to be perfused with PBS to remove blood before processing since large numbers of CD11b+ cells appear in the blood in SLE models. Perfusion should begin with the heart still beating to improve circulation of the PBS. If the liver is uniformly pale after perfusion then blood removal has been adequate. Blood removal also improves the quality of immunohistochemistry.
