Hello Andy, I haven't worked with Cynolmolgus macaque lymphocytes using IFN-gamma, IL-4 or IL-5. But I have some experience with human lymphocytes that produced a good signal after 5 hours incubation with PMA(50ng/ml)+Ionomycin(1ug/ml)+Monensin(1uM).This was especially with IL-4 and IFN-gamma.Never tried IL-5. Hope this helps. Collins. -----Original Message----- From: andrew.head@covance.com [mailto:andrew.head@covance.com] Sent: Friday, October 20, 2000 10:13 PM To: cyto-inbox Subject: Intracellular ifn-gamma and IL-4/5 Dear flowers I am trying to type Th1 and Th2 cells in Cynolmolgus macaque lymphocytes using intracellular IFN-gamma, IL-4 and IL-5 Does anyone have any experience of this ? Using PMA activation(5 hours plus monensin) I have had some success with IFN-gamma, but no luck with IL-4 or 5.Am I supposed to use a different activator for these two monoclonals to work? or incubate for a different length of time? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
