Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) have been used as a surrogate model of immune function in studies of multiple medical areas, such as metabolic diseases and immune dysfunction. This chapter describes a standardized technique for blood draw and preparation of PBMCs from whole blood using density gradient centrifugation, followed by cell culture. The main focus is on collection of the PBMC culture media and extraction of cellular proteins in order to provide the materials for biomarker studies.
