Alternatively, splenocytes were stimulated with 50 ng/ml PMA (Sigma-Aldrich, UK) plus 500 ng/ml ionomycin (Sigma-Aldrich, UK) and 10 μg/ml LPS (E. coli O111:B4, Sigma-Aldrich, UK) for 1 h before addition of 10 μg/ml Brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich, UK) and cells were then incubated for a further 5 h at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Cells were fixed and washed several times in permeabilization buffer before anti-IL-10 was added in permeabilization buffer and incubated at 4 °C for 30 minutes. Cells were then washed three times with permeabilization buffer and finally with FACs staining buffer before data were acquired using a BD LSR II flow cytometer and analysis undertaken by FlowJo software (TreeStar).

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.
