I found two papers to establish a Thp-1 differentiation protocol (Thp-1 -(PMA)-> M0 -(LPS+IFN or IL-4+IL-13)->M1 or M2). I want to compare both protocols, but the PMA priming times and the types of confirmed M1 and M2 markers are completely different. I'm not sure which one to choose. I need your opinion. Or if there's a better protocol other than these two, please let me know.

Thank you in advance!
