Cell Activation Cocktail (with Brefeldin A)
-
- Application
- Flow Cytometry (FACS), Activation (Act)
- Purpose
- Cell Activation Cocktail (with Brefeldin A) is composed of PMA, ionomycin, and Brefeldin A.
- Characteristics
- Cell Activation Cocktail (with Brefeldin A) is a pre-mixed cocktail with optimized concentration of PMA (phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate), ionomycin, and protein transport inhibitor (Brefeldin A). Activation of cells with PMA and ionomycin leads to cytokine production that is captured in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus by the protein transport inhibitor Brefeldin A. Brefeldin A functions to inhibit intracellular protein transport, thus allowing intracellular detection of the secreted cytokine and proteins by immunofluorescent staining.
