Naive T cells were incubated with 100 µM fludarabine (Tocris, Bristol) or 0.1 % DMSO (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 1 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in serum-free medium (XVIVO-15, Lonza, Basel). Subsequently, these pretreated or untreated naive T cells were added to IFNγ-pretreated SEB-loaded primary KCs and cocultured for 24 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Finally, secreted cytokines were analyzed by the cytokine secretion assay, and STAT phosphorylation was assessed by phospho-flow cytometry.

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.
