title: Isolation of liver Kupffer cells.
abstract: Kupffer cells, the resident macrophages of the liver, play a major role in the pathogenesis of several diseases. This unit contains an easy-to-follow procedure for effective isolation of liver Kupffer cells from rats and mice. The protocol provides viable Kupffer cells in large amounts that can be used for further investigations.
