Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each participant provided 27 mL of peripheral venous blood collected into 9 mL sodium citrate tubes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated using Leucosep tubes (Greiner Bio-One) with Histopaque 1077 (Sigma) by centrifugation at 800 × g for 15 min at room temperature. PBMCs at the interface were collected, rinsed twice with autoMACS running buffer (Miltenyi Biotech) and cryopreserved in FBS with 10% DMSO. All samples were processed within 4 h of venepuncture.
For proteomic and flow cytometry analysis, frozen PBMC samples were thawed in a water bath at 37°C and immediately diluted in TexMACS media (Miltenyi Biotech), centrifuged, resuspended in TexMACS supplemented with 10U/ml DNAse (Benzonase, Merck-Millipore) and rested at 37°C for 1h. PBMCs were then centrifuged, resuspended in fresh media and counted. For proteomic analysis, PMBCs were washed twice in ice-cold PBS pH 7.4 (Sigma). 75% of cells were used for plasma membrane profiling, while the remaining 25% was used for whole cell lysate proteomic analysis.

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.
