PE Goat ALeukocyte Activation Cocktail

Product Information

Material Number: 550583

Size: 200 μL

Description

The most critical step for detection of intracellular accumulations of cytokines by intracellular staining is the isolation and activation of a cell 

population to induce production of the cytokine of interest. Without properly activated cytokine-producing cells, cultured in the presence of a 

protein transport inhibitor, the ability to detect intracellular accumulations of cytokines in most cases is severely compromised. Various in vitro methods have been reported for stimulating cells to produce cytokines. Polyclonal activators have been particularly useful for inducing cytokine-producing cells. These activators include the following: concanavalin A, lipopolysaccharide, phorbol esters plus calcium ionophore or ionomycin, phytohaemaglutinin, staphylococcus enterotoxin B, and monoclonal antibodies directed against subunits of the TCR/CD3 complex (with or without antibodies directed against costimulatory receptors, such as CD28).
