Human PBMCs (5 × 105/well) were seeded in a 24-well cell culture plate. To achieve sub-optimal activation of PBMCs, polyinosinic–polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) (10 µg/ml) was added to the media. After 18 hr incubation, MDA-MB-231-LM2 cells (2.5 × 105/well) were added to the PBMCs. Subsequently, isotype IgG control, Tw1S4_6 or Tw1S4_AM6 antibodies (200 nM) were added to the media and anti-CD107a antibody was added directly into the media. After 1 hr, brefeldin A solution (Biolegend) was added to the media. Cells were collected after 3 hr and stained with anti-CD3 and anti-CD56 antibodies. Intracellular staining of interferon gamma (IFN-ɣ) and granzyme B were conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Kit, Tonbo bioscience).

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.
