Pulmonary intravascular macrophages (PIMs) adhere to the endothelium of lung capillaries and sequester circulating particles and pathogens from the blood. Iron oxide (γFe203) 5 mg/kg, administered intravenously, specifically labeled PIMs in situ within the living sheep. Attempts to isolate γFe203-labeled PIMs using vascular perfusion (VP) procedures yielded few cells. To improve recovery of PIMs, a proteolytic lung digestion (PLD) procedure was developed. Following PLD, γFe203-containing PIMs were recovered by magnets and the amount of γFe203present measured by fluxgate magnetometry. Proteolytic lung digestion recovered 34% of the total γFe203in lung samples and yielded 2 105PIMs/g lung with 95% viability. In contrast, VP recovered only 3% of the total γFe203in the lung; furthermore, less than 2% of the recovered γFe203was cell associated. Proteolytic lung digestion followed by magnetic separation is an effective way to recover viable sheep PIMs for in vitro study.J. Leukoc. Biol. 56: 692–701; 1994.
