Abstract
The human decidua basalis, main uterine mucosa during pregnancy, provides an ex vivo model for studying natural protection of macrophages against HIV-1 infection at the mucosal level. Beyond pregnancy, the decidua constitutes also a valuable tool to assess tissue-resident macrophage infection. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for decidual macrophage purification and tissue infection.Entities:
