A second panel was used to analyze T cell subsets and their activation status and consisted of mAbs to CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, and CD69. In the third panel, myeloid cell activation status was analyzed using mAbs to CD11b, F4/80, CD40, CD86, and MHC class II. Non-viable cells that stained positive for 7-AAD (eBioscience), were excluded from the analysis. For each antibody, appropriate isotype control was used. Data were collected on 30,000 cells using BD FACS Canto II (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using BD FACSDiva software (BD).

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.
