Cellular redox state determinants are traditionally studied using fluorescent microscopy and immunoblot analysis; however, no procedure has been devel-oped for simultaneous measurement in various immune cell subsets. Here, we present a flow cytometry assay for measuring antioxidant defense systems and reactive oxygen species simultaneously in T, B, and natural killer lympho-cytes. We describe steps for preparing and treating peripheral blood mononu-clear cells, surface and dye staining, cell fixation/permeabilization, and intra-cellular staining. We then detail machine standardization, acquisition, and analysis.

Abstract
Cellular redox state determinants are traditionally studied using fluorescent microscopy and immunoblot analysis; however, no procedure has been devel-oped for simultaneous measurement in various immune cell subsets. Here, we present a flow cytometry assay for measuring antioxidant defense systems and reactive oxygen species simultaneously in T, B, and natural killer lympho-cytes. We describe steps for preparing and treating peripheral blood mononu-clear cells, surface and dye staining, cell fixation/permeabilization, and intra-cellular staining. We then detail machine standardization, acquisition, and analysis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
