Inverted transwell culture system. Inverted culture of HIBCPP cells on the bottom side of a transwell filter of 5 µm pore size. The upper (basolateral) side represents the lumen of the blood capillary, while the lower (apical) side mimics the CSF space. B cells are added to the upper compartment (blood side) and a cocktail of B-cell chemoattractants to the lower compartment. After 4 h transmigration (TM), filters are transferred onto a fresh plate; migrated cells are collected from the lower chamber and quantified by FACS. A chemotactic index (CI) is calculated for each B-cell subset.
