In this video, we study the effect of a whole smoke-conditioned medium, a combustible tobacco product preparation, on K562 cell killing by effector peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Protocol
1. K562 Killing Assay NOTE: K562 cells should be grown in culture at 37 °C and 5% CO2 with RPMI complete medium until they reach 80% confluence before the assay. Prepare a 5 mM carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) stock solution by adding 18 µl of DMSO to the vial. Dilute WS-CM or nicotine in a 96-well plate using RPMI complete medium to a total volume of 100 µl/well to achieve the desired equi-nicotine u…
