Assay of cytokines in tissue culture supernatants describes a liquid suspension array for quantification of cytokines in tissue culture supernatants or serum. With this assay, it is possible to profile the level of multiple cytokines in a single well. The principle of this cytokine assay is similar to a capture sandwich immunoassay. Includes: Preparation for the Assay, Cytokine Assay, Reagents and Materials. - [Read Assay of Cytokines in Tissue Culture Supernatants]

Conditional ablation of stat3/socs3 discloses the dual role for reactive astrocytes after spinal cord injury. The current protocol demonstrates that reactive astrocytes play a crucial role in wound healing and functional recovery by using mice with a selective deletion of the signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) or suppression of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) under the control of Nestin gene promoter/enhancer (STAT3N–/–, SOCS3N–/–). - [Read Conditional Ablation of Stat3 Socs3 Discloses the Dual Role for Reactive Astrocytes]

Protocol for detection of mRNAs on cryosections of the cardiovascular system using DIG-labeled RNA probes. Protocol was optimized from a protocol using 35S-labeled RNA probes. It allows to detect the expression of low abundant mRNAs in the cardiovascular system, e.g. of the proinflammatory cytokine GM-CSF in normal human coronary arteries, and of IL6 and gp130 in human failing hearts. The protocol can be combined with immunohistochemistry. - [Read Detection of mRNAs on Cryosections of the Cardiovascular System Using DIG-Labeled RNA Probes]

Cryopreserved PBMCs are a common specimen source for studies of immunological responses to vaccines, immunotherapies, etc. The health and viability of cells recovered post-cryopreservation are of course critical to the success and accuracy of immunological assays performed on them. This protocol standardizes PBMC isolation and cryopreservation techniques, specifically for the assessment of thawed cells by cytokine flow cytometry. - [Read Protocol for Isolation, Cryopreservation, and Thawing of PBMCs]
