Cell activation cocktail pma ionomycin

Manufactured by BioLegend
Sourced in United States

The Cell Activation Cocktail PMA/Ionomycin is a laboratory reagent used to activate T cells and other immune cells in vitro. The product contains phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin, which stimulate protein kinase C and increase intracellular calcium levels, respectively, leading to the activation and proliferation of T cells and other lymphocytes.

Lung cell suspensions (3 × 105 cells from Sham mice or 3 × 104 cells from CLP-operated mice) were plated in 96 well plates and stimulated with either Cell Activation Cocktail PMA/Ionomycin at 1X (Biolegend, San Diego, USA) or 2 ng/ml of LPS (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, USA) in RPMI containing 10% FBS for 3 h at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were recovered and washed with fresh PBS 1X and then stained for flow cytometry analysis.

Isolation and Activation of Naïve CD4+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by gradient centrifugation with Lymphocyte Separation Medium (Lonza). CD4+CD45RA+ naive T cells were isolated from PBMCs with the EasySep Human Naïve CD4+ T Cell Enrichment Kit (STEMCELL Technologies). Purity of cell populations was consistently > 95%. Anti-CD3/anti-CD28-coated Dynabeads (Gibco) were used to activate naïve CD4+ T cells at a ratio of 2 cells: 1 bead for 72 h. Cell Activation Cocktail (PMA/Ionomycin) (Biolegend) was used to stimulate cytokine production in T cells with or without Brefeldin A (eBioscience) for 2 h.

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.
