For quantification of protein expression, cells were trypsinized from the collagen constructs, fixed with 4% PFA for 10 min, and then preserved in 50% methanol/PBS. Cells were further washed and incubated with appropriate primary/secondary antibodies and scanned using a Coulter Epics XL-MCL Flow Cytometer (Coulter).

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.
