Abstract
One of the hallmarks of cancer is the expansion and accumulation of highly immunosuppressive myeloid cells known as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). To study MDSCs biology, differentiation from hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) is an useful tool to elucidate the biological and biochemical mechanisms associated with acquisition of immune suppressive activity and expansion in cancer. Although this is one of the protocols performed to study immune suppressive myeloid cells, differentiation of MDSCs from HPC is a method that allows to modify conditions of the supernatants used. In this protocol, we outline the process of differentiating HPCs into MDSCs in vitro using tumor explant supernatants to recapitulate the tumor microenvironment.
