This video demonstrates the evaluation of stromal cytokine-induced intracellular phosphorylation of proteins in leukemia cells. These intracellular phosphorylated proteins are quantified using the phospho-flow cytometry technique.
Protocol
1. Phospho-flow Cytometry Assays to Evaluate the Activity of Cytokine Produced by Stroma NOTE: Assess the supernatant from the engineered stroma before the first experiment to verify the relevant bio-activity of the stroma-generated cytokine for the individual experiment. Once the engineered stroma is validated, further testing is not necessary unless stroma are introduced that were produced with a new vector. Purchase MUTZ5 and/or MHH-CALL4 leukem…
