Isolation of Viable Adipocytes and Stromal Vascular Fraction from Human Visceral Adipose Tissue Suitable for RNA Analysis and Macrophage Phenotyping

Transcript

This protocol allows for isolation and study of viable adipocytes and stromal vascular fraction SVF cells from human visceral fat. Enzymatic digestion using collagenase ensures high yields of total RNA from mature adipocytes, including microRNAs s

This protocol provides an efficient collagenase digestion method for isolation of viable adipocytes and stromal vascular fraction-SVF cells from human visceral fat in a single process, including methodology to obtain high-quality RNA from adipocytes and phenotypification of SVF-macrophages through staining of multiple membrane-bound markers for analysis by flow cytometry.
