Note
Note: For mouse bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDMs) primary cultures, each experiment involved age and sex matched C57BL/6 mice between 3-9 months of age. Lrrk2KO (Lrrk2tm1.1Mjff) and G2019S (Lrrk2tm1.1Hlme) homozygous knockin mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory76.
Euthanize mice via CO2 or isoflurane inhalation and cervical dislocation.
Collect femurs and flush cavities with Amount5 mL ice-cold PBS.

Then, collect bone marrow cells by centrifugation Centrifigation0.3 rcf, 00:05:00 .

Resuspend the resulting pellet and differentiate for 6 days in culture media containing: DMEMF12 supplemented with 20% FBS, 20% L929 conditioned media, 1% penicillin-streptomycin and 1% GlutaMAXTM.
