Abstract

Human brown and white preadipocytes offer unique cell models to study human adipogenesis and thermogenesis. Here, we describe the detailed procedures for isolation of human brown and white predipocytes from deep and superficial neck fat. To grow these cells in vitro for a prolonged period of time, they should be immortalized following the procedure discussed here. We also provide the protocol for expansion, cryopreservation, and adipogenic differentiation of cells.
