Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from the buffy coats of participants by Ficoll-paque Plus (GE Healthcare catalog #17-1440-02). Naïve CD4+ T cells were isolated from the PBMCs using a naïve T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec catalog # 130-094-131) per manufacturer's instruction. CD4+ naïve T cells were activated using an activation/expansion kit (Miltenyi Biotec catalog #130-091-441) with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 bound to bead particles at the ratio of 1 bead particle per 2 cells. CD4+ T cells were cultured differentiated to become Th17 cells with hIL-2 (10ng/ml), rhIL-1β (10ng/ml), rhTGF-β (1ng/ml), rhIL-6 (10ng/ml), rhIL-23 (10ng/ml), anti-IFN-γ (10μg/ml), and/or anti-IL-4 (10μg/ml) in T cell culture media.

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.
