Experimental Procedure
Application 1: Cytokine content or activity detection in cell culture supernatant
1. Prepare the single cell suspension with complete medium (self-prepared), and adjust the cell density to 1~2×106/mL.
Note: The cell density should not be too high, and the maximum density should be less than 2×106/mL, high cell density will affect cell activation efficiency. Make sure the cells are in good condition before stimulation, especially for freshly prepared primary cells.
2. Add 2 uL of 500× Cell Stimulation MIX to each 1 mL of cell suspension, and incubate the cells at 37 degree C, 5%CO2 for 4~18 h (It is recommended to determine the optimal induction time by setting up a pre-experiment with different induction times for the cytokines to be tested. The common induction time can be refer to table 1).
3. Collect cell culture supernatant for the subsequent detection or store at-80 degree C for later use (the supernatant contains a variety of cytokines secreted by cells, which can be used to detect the content and activity of cytokines by ELISA or other biochemical reagents).
Application 2: Intracellular factor detection
1. Prepare the single cell suspension with complete medium (self-prepared), and adjust the cell density to 1~2×106/mL.
Note: The cell density should not be too high, and the maximum density should be less than 2×106/mL, high cell density will affect cell activation efficiency. Make sure the cells are in good condition before stimulation, especially for freshly prepared primary cells.
2. Add 2 uL of 500× Cell Stimulation MIX to each 1mL of cell suspension, and incubate the cells at 37 degree C, 5%CO2 for 1.5~1 h.
3. Add 1 uL of 1000×Protein Transport Inhibitor MIX to each 1mL of cell suspension, and incubate the cells at 37 degree C, 5%CO2 for 5~16 h (It is recommended to determine the optimal induction time by setting up a pre-experiment with different induction times for the cytokines to be tested. The common induction time can be refer to table 1).
4. Collect cell suspension, centrifuge at 200~300×g for 5 min, discard the supernatant and collect the cell pellet which could be used for subsequent intracellular factor detection after fixation.

Related Product Information for Cell stimulation and Protein Transport Inhibitor kit
Background: Cell Stimulation and Protein Transport Inhibitor Kit is an optimized broad-spectrum immune cell stimulator and inhibitor that can induce and stimulate a variety of cells in vitro to produce cytokines and block the transport of secreted proteins to the extracellular. Cell stimulation and Protein Transport Inhibitor Kit is mainly composed of Cell Stimulation MIX and Protein Transport Inhibitor MIX. Cell Stimulation MIX is a mixture of Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA) and Ionomycin, which can induce various cell activation and secrete cytokines. Protein Transport Inhibitor MIX is mainly composed of Monensin and Brefeldin A, which can prevent the loss of cytokine transport. After cell membrane rupture, cytokines can be detected.

Product Notes
The Cell stimulation and Protein Transport Inhibitor (Catalog #AAA178129) is a Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cell stimulation and Protein Transport Inhibitor, Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
