Monocytes are a population of mononuclear lekocytes. The aim of this thesis was to select a suitable methodology for the isolation of monocytes and their cultivation into dendritic cells. For the experiment, bovine blood was taken from vena jugularis externa. This blood was used to isolate monocytes based on the density gradient of OptiPrep solution and Histopaque solution. The results showed that the method of isolation based on the density gradient of the Histopaque solution and the magnetic separation appeared to be a more efficient method. The monocyte population was cultured for 72 hours. Cells were analyzed by light microscopy and CD14 positive cells appeared to be transformed into dendritic cells. The purity of these cell population was determined by flow cytometry. Dendritic cells have a wide range of utility mainly in immunotherapy of various diseases and also play an important role in cancer therapy.
