Quantifying IL-27 Levels and T-cell Marker Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used to determine the concentrations of IL-27 (eBioscience, San Diego, USA) in MPE and serum according to manufacturer's instructions. The minimum detectable concentration of IL-27 was 9.5 pg/ml.
The expression of markers on T-cells from MPE and blood was determined by flow cytometry as described previously[16 (link)] after surface or intracellular staining with anti-human-specific Abs conjugated with FITC, PE, or APC. These human Abs included anti-CD3, -CD8, -IL-27. Intracellular staining was performed on T-cells stimulated with PMA (50 ng/ml), ionomycin (1 μmol/L), GolgiStop, and GolgiPlug for 5 h, and then stained with anti-IL-27 with PE. Flow cytometry was performed on a FACS Canto II (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and analyzed using FCS Express 4 software (De Novo Software, Los Angeles, USA).

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.
