The spleen was removed aseptically and placed on a 200-mesh sieve moistened with PBS. Then the spleen samples were ground using a grinding rod. After the erythrocyte lysate was added, the suspension was centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded. The pellet was washed with PBS, and splenocytes were maintained in 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin. The cells were counted, and the cell concentration was adjusted to 1.0 × 107/mL.
To detect Treg cells, 200 μL of the single cell suspension was stained with APC-CD4 (BD Biosciences, USA), and PE-Foxp3 (BD Biosciences) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 min, and analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). The data were evaluated using FlowJo software (BD Biosciences).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
