A method is described for the isolation and culture of large numbers of nonadherent quiescent human peripheral blood monocytes for adhesion/migration studies. Aproximately 1.0 times 10-8 cells/white cell concentrate with gt 95% viability are isolated by countercurrent centrifugal elutriation. These cells are initially activated by the isolation procedure, but after a minimum culture time post isolation of 48 hours and a rest period after radiolabelling of at least 3 hours quiescent cells are routinely obtained, with low basal levels of adhesion and a rapid, reproducible superoxide response to activation with phorbol myristate acetate.
