MHCII is a type of laboratory equipment used to detect and analyze major histocompatibility complex class II molecules, which play a crucial role in the immune system. The core function of MHCII is to facilitate the presentation of antigenic peptides to T helper cells, enabling the immune system to recognize and respond to foreign pathogens.

For intracellular cytokine staining, the splenocytes were stimulated with DnaJ (10 μg/ml) for 8 h in presence of Golgi plug™ (51-2301KZ, BD Bioscience). The splenocytes were then treated for surface markers (CD4 or CD8), fixed/permeabilised with a Cytofix/Cytoperm solution (51-2090KZ, BD Bioscience) and then stained with anti-IFN-γ (557,735, BD Biosciences) and anti-IL-4 (554,435, BD Biosciences) antibodies at 20–25 °C for 30 min. All events were acquired on a FACSverse flow cytometer and analysed using the FlowJoV software (Tree Star).
To determine cytokine (IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-17a, MCP-1, IL-1α, and IL-6) concentrations in the uterine tissue, multi-analyte flow assay kits (740,446, Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA) were used as indicated by the manufacturer.

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.
