To estimate proliferation of T cells, 3H-TdR was added during the last 12 h of a 48 h culture [26 (link)]. Cells were harvested and counted with liquid scintillation counting (Aloka Lsc-lb7, shanghai, china). IL-4, IFN-γ, IL-17 and TGF-βlevels in supernatants were measured by ELISA according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

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.
