Résumé

Testis-resident macrophages are first responders of the innate immune system against pathogens. They also exert day-to-day functions that are poorly understood. To study testis macrophages, several techniques are used, among which we can find flow cytometry.Flow cytometry is a powerful tool that enables analysis of macrophages at a cellular as well as population level. To analyze testis macrophages using flow cytometry, a specific tissue processing is necessary to extract them. In this protocol, we explain how to extract and analyze the distinct macrophage populations.
