HL-60 cells were established from the peripheral blood of a 35-year-old woman with acute myeloid leukemia (AML FAB M2 [6]). HL-60 cells resemble promyelocytes but can differentiate terminally in vitro in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or retinoic acid to granulocytes [7]. Other compounds like 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol13-acetate (TPA), and GM-CSF can induce HL-60 to differentiate to monocytic, macrophage-like, and eosinophil phenotypes, respectively. 2. U937 are myeloid cells established from the pleural effusion of a 37-year-old male patient with histiocytic lymphoma [8].

1 IHC on Frozen Tissue Samples with Peroxidase We propose the following procedures to perform IHC staining in frozen sections. 1. Let the slides warm to RT and fix (see Note 2) for 10 min at RT. 2. Circle the tissue on the slide with a hydrophobic pen. 3. Apply 10 % blocking serum in antibody diluent for 45 min at RT (see Note 9). 4. Aspirate. 5. Apply primary antibody and incubate overnight at 4 °C. 6. Aspirate. 7. Rinse well in running tap water for 5 min at RT. 8. Wash in PBS for 5 min, three times at RT.
