This assay was performed using heparinized blood samples. Briefly, whole blood was 1:1 diluted with RPMI 1640 cell culture media (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, EEUU) containing 2 μg/mL of OVA, 7.5 ng/mL of anti-IgE (R35-92) (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, EEUU) for positive control, or no protein for negative control. After a 2-h incubation at 37°C, samples were stained with surface antibodies anti-CD3 (145-2C11), B220 (RA3-6B2), CD49b (DX5), IgE (RME-1), and CD200R (OX-110) (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, EEUU). Red blood cells were lysed using Versalyse (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, EEUU) and samples were analyzed using an Attune NxT (Thermo Fisher Scientific) flow cytometer. Relative expression levels of the CD200R basophil activation marker were determined with FCS express software (De novo software, Pasadena, CA, EEUU) from mean fluorescence intensities (Figure S4).

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.
