For pSTAT5 activation experiments, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were cultured (500,000/well) for 30 min at 37° C and IL-2 was added for 15 min. Cells were then fixed with 1.6% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 100% methanol, stained for pSTAT5 and appropriate surface markers. Events were collected using a LSRFortessa flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and data were analyzed using Diva software (BD Biosciences). To calculate EC50, after subtracting the value from the media control, binding data for each sample was normalized to 100% based on the maximal response and non-linear regression of these data was performed assuming a variable slope using Graph-Pad Prism 6.0.
Cd16 fitc
CD16-FITC is a fluorescently-labeled antibody that binds to the CD16 cell surface antigen. It is used to identify and quantify CD16-positive cells, such as natural killer cells and a subset of monocytes, in biological samples through flow cytometry analysis.

by a three-color flow cytometric method
within 4 hours of PBMC preparation. A mixture of
monoclonal antibodies specifically established to
identify pDCs was used. Cells were stained with
CD14-FITC, CD16-FITC, CD85k (ILT3)-PE,
and CD123-PC5 according to the manufacturer’s
instructions (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).
pDCs were identified as being CD14lo/-CD16lo/-
CD85k (ILT3)± and CD123± (10 (link)). Briefly, 100 μL
of PBMCs were incubated with a mixture of the
monoclonal antibodies (20 μL) for 20 minutes
at room temperature (RT) in the dark. After two
washes with PBS, stained aliquots of PBMCs were
reconstituted in 0.5 mL of PBS. Flow cytometry
readings of the stained cells were acquired using
Cytomics FC 500 (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA,
USA) with CXP Software (
Absolute pDC numbers were estimated by multiplying
the percentage of pDCs by the number of
PBMCs, which was calculated by multiplying the
number of white blood cells (WBCs) by the percentage
of lymphocytes plus monocytes in WBCs
as measured in the Sysmex XE-2100 apparatus
(Sysmex Corporation; Kobe, Japan).

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.
