Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated using density gradient centrifugation from whole blood drawn from healthy volunteers. PBMCs were labelled with 5μM CellTrace Violet (CTV) and plated in 96-well U-bottom plates in the presence of F(ab’)2 fragment donkey anti-mouse IgM (anti-IgM) (5μg/mL, Jackson ImmunoResearch) with Anti-CD40 (1μg/mL, Peprotech) for 7d in X-vivo 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.
