Beta plate scintillation mixture

Manufactured by PerkinElmer

Beta plate scintillation mixture is a specialized liquid scintillation cocktail used in beta particle detection and quantification. It is designed to be used in conjunction with beta plate counters or similar instrumentation to measure the radioactivity of samples. The mixture contains organic scintillators and other components that facilitate the detection of beta particles emitted from radioactive samples.

Cells activated in an MLR were allowed to incubate for up to 3 days before harvesting. [3H]Thymidine (0.5 μCi/well; MPBiomedicals) was added 24 h before harvesting (SkatronInstruments) using Type A filter mats (Perkin-Elmer Life and Analytical Sciences) and a beta plate scintillation mixture (Perkin-Elmer). Disintegrations per minute were determined using a liquid scintillation counter (1205 Betaplate; Perkin-Elmer).

Leukocyte activation was performed using 96-well flat-bottom culture plates (Greiner Bio-One; Germany) for 72 h at 37 °C in the presence of 5% CO2. For standard two-way MLR assays, responder cells (total splenocytes, 2 × 105) were co-cultured with an equal number of stimulator splenocytes in 200 μl medium14 (link),16 (link). Thymidine (1 μ Ci/well; PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences) was added 18–24 h before recovering (Inotech Biosystems International Inc.) using Type A filter mats (PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences) and a beta-plate scintillation mixture (PerkinElmer). CPM were determined using a liquid scintillation analyzer (Packard 1900CA, Packard Instrument Co.). Data were expressed as the mean CPM of triplicate determination, and converted into proliferation percentages. 100% proliferation refers to vehicle treated allogeneic group. Splenocytes background readout values (medium alone) were deducted from the results.

Cells activated in an MLR were allowed to incubate for up to 3 days before harvesting.
[3H]Thymidine(0.5μCi/well; MPBiomedicals) was added 24h before harvesting (SkatronInstruments) using Type A lter mats (Perkin-Elmer Life and Analytical Sciences) and a beta plate scintillation mixture (Perkin-Elmer). Disintegrations per minute were determined using a liquid scintillation counter (1205 Betaplate; Perkin-Elmer).
ELISA assay for quantitating cytokine production X-ray-irradiated DC (2×10 4 ) and the T cells (1×10 5 ) were seeded into wells of 96-well at-bottom culture plates in RPMI 1640 10% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen Life Technologies) for 3 days. Supernatants were removed and further analyzed for cytokine production (IL-2 and IFN-γ) with ELISA. Plates were read at 405 nm using a Labsystems Multiskan enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader.
Flow cytometry for detecting activation marker expression FCM assay was used to characterize activation marker expression of T cells. CD4 + or CD8 + T cells were cocultured with DCs for 3 days. The cells were washed with PBS and then stained with anti-CD3-PE, anti-CD25-FITC and anti-CD69-APC at 4 •C for 1h, and then washed by PBS. CD25 and CD69 activation markers were measured using a FCM Calibur ow cytometer (BD company). Data were analyzed with CellQuest 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.
