abstract = {Platelets are immune cells with a great potential for the
discovery of novel mechanisms regulating both innate and
adaptive responses. Although it is known that the
interaction between platelets and leukocytes plays a
critical role in inflammation and thrombosis, the vast
majority of experimental models focus on monotypic cell
systems, ignoring the constant association of these two cell
types in circulation and in the tissues. Co-culture systems
that recapitulate this interplay are essential for
understanding cellular processes and for evaluating
therapeutic interventions. However, the technical
requirements for isolating and handling these cells with
such distinct physical and functional properties pose
significant challenges. Here I provide a detailed guide for
the isolation, characterization, and co-culture of human and
murine platelets with leukocytes, while describing
systematic procedures for obtaining high-purity platelet
suspensions with minimal activation. Parallel instructions
for isolating and differentiating leukocytes from human
blood or mouse bone marrow are also provided. In addition, I
outline flow cytometry-based methods to assess platelet
purity and activation status using constitutive and
activation-inducible markers. This comprehensive guide is
aimed at experienced operators and newcomers alike, offering
practical tips and troubleshooting advice to ensure
reproducibility and biological relevance. By standardizing
critical steps in co-culture protocols, this resource seeks
to support high-quality experimental design in immunology
and hemostasis research.},
