Variable analysis
- Medium type loaded in the lower chamber (control medium, resting (RPS), activated (APS), or MCP-1)
- Number of migrated cells
- Isolated monocytes loaded onto the upper chamber
- Incubation time (4 h) at 37 °C
- Membrane fixation with 100% ethanol and staining with May-Gruenwald/Giemsa
- Microscopic imaging (Nikon Eclipse Ni-U, ×20 objective)
- Cell count quantification using ImageJ software
- Positive control: MCP-1 (known chemoattractant for monocytes)
- Negative control: Control medium

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.
