Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human NK cells were enriched from human peripheral blood samples using negative selection with RosetteSep (Stem Cell Technologies) followed by Ficoll separation. Maxisorp ELISA plates were first coated with ZEBOV GPΔTM (3 μg/ml) before blocking with 5% BSA and incubation with 5 μg/ml mAbs at 37 °C for 2 hours. The mAbs were removed by washing and NK cells (5.0 × 104 cells/well) in the presence of 10 μg/ml brefeldin A (Sigma Aldrich), GolgiStop (BD), and anti-CD107a were incubated at 37 °C for 5 hr. The NK cells were then stained for NK surface markers (CD3, CD56, CD16, BD Biosciences) followed by intracellular staining to detect cytokine and chemokine production (IFN-γ and MIP-1β, BD Biosciences). NK cells were analyzed with a BD LSR2 flow cytometer and data were analyzed using FlowJo software.

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.
