ABSTRACT
The study of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in immune-mediated diseases, such as celiac disease (CD), is important to uncover pathogenesis, find new biomarkers and discover and evaluate new treatments. Many studies have been published about the use and value of PBMCs in CD such as those including enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays, flow cytometry, peptide-MHC tetramers, genetic and proteomic analyses, and in vitro and proliferation assays. We present here and easy and efficient method for isolation of PBMCs using density gradient centrifugation. We also describe a simple way to freeze PBMCs in order to preserve their number and viability and a thawing procedure leading to high rates of viability of the cryopreserved cells to be used in subsequent applications.
