How long should cryopreserved macrophages be activated to measure cytokine release?
In general, cryopreserved macrophages should be activated for approximately 24 hours, or at least overnight, to reliably measure cytokine release.
If cytokine induction is not optimal under your specific experimental conditions, the activation time can be shortened or extended accordingly to optimize the response.
