Methods
General guidelines
This protocol has been developed using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from normal,
healthy donors. The stimulation conditions (cell concentration, incubation time, and reagent
concentrations) may be further optimized for dierent sample types and alternative stimulation
reagents, such as peptides.
In this protocol, the stimulations are performed in bulk, then cells are transferred into 12 × 75 mm
round bottom test tubes for staining. To perform the protocol in 96–well plates, see Appendix B,
96–well plate protocol.
For typical experimental setup, results, and how to gate and analyze data generated with this kit,
see Appendix C, Typical experimental set up and results. An ideal experiment contains:
Single-color compensation controls (prepared with a combination of the included antibodies,
UltraComp eBeads Plus Compensation Beads, and cells of interest)
Isotype control samples (samples stained with viability dye, T cell phenotyping markers, plus
isotype control antibodies in place of IFN-γ and IL-17A)
Fully-stained samples (experimental samples stained with viability dye and all target-specific
antibodies)
Unstimulated, vehicle controls from the same donors, stained with the mixed antibody, isotype
control panel, and the full antibody panel.
Test tube protocol
This protocol is intended for 12 × 75 mm round bottom test tubes. For the 96-well plate protocol, see
Appendix B, 96–well plate protocol.
Stimulate cells
1. Resuspend cells at 2 x 107 cells/mL in complete media.
2. Prepare a 2X working solution of PHA-L by adding 10–20 μL of PHA-L (500X) per 1 mL of complete
media. You will need the same volume as the cell suspension prepared in step 1.
Alternatively, prepare a 2X working solution of a peptide(s) or other stimulation reagent of choice.
Note: This dilution uses PHA-L at a final concentration of 5–10X. Using lower concentrations of
PHA-L may be desired and should be determined empirically.
3. Mix cells and the 2X PHA-L (or other stimulation reagent) at 1:1, then transfer the cell suspension
to a tissue culture plate or flask.

6eBioscience Immune Response T Cell Cytokines Kit User Guide
4. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 16–24 hours.
5. Add Protein Transport Inhibitor Cocktail at 1X final concentration (2 μL per 1 mL) for the last 8–16
hours of culture.
Note: Do not exceed 16 hours with Protein Transport Inhibitor Cocktail as this may cause
excessive cell death.
Stain cells with viability dye
1. Prepare a stock solution of LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near IR (780):
a. Thaw DMSO and one vial of lyophilized dye.
b. Add 50 µL of DMSO to one vial of dye, then mix well.
2. Prepare a 2X working solution of LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near IR (780) by adding 2 µL of the stock
solution per 1 mL of PBS (azide-free). You will need the same volume as the cell suspension
prepared in step 1. Protect from light until ready to use.
3. Remove cells from the incubator, add 2X LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near IR (780) at 1:1, then mix well.
4. Incubate for 10–30 minutes at room temperature.
5. Transfer ~1 x 106 cells from the tissue culture well or flask into the 12 × 75 mm round bottom test
tubes, then centrifuge.
6. Discard the supernatant, then resuspend the cells in the residual volume of buer remaining in the
tube.
7. Add 2 mL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buer, then centrifuge.
8. Discard the supernatant, then resuspend the cells in the residual volume of buer remaining in the
tube.
Fix and permeabilize cells
1. Add 100 µL of IC Fixation Buer to each cell suspension, then incubate for 20–60 minutes at room
temperature, or up to 3 days at 4°C.
2. Prepare a 1X working solution of Permeabilization Buer—Dilute eBioscience Permeabilization
Buer (10X) 1:10 with distilled water. You will need ~6 mL of this working solution per sample.
Note: Precipitates may form in the eBioscience Permeabilization Buer (10X), but they will not
aect results. If precipitation occurs, filter the 1X Permeabilization Buer before use.
3. Add 2 mL of 1X Permeabilization Buer, then centrifuge.
4. Discard the supernatant, then resuspend the cells in the residual volume of buer remaining in the
tube.

5. Add 2 mL of 1X Permeabilization Buer, then centrifuge.
6. Discard the supernatant, then resuspend the cells in the residual volume of buer remaining in the
tube.
7. Place a small aliquot of one sample into a separate 12 × 75 mm round bottom test tube. Set
this tube aside and protect from light. This will be the single-color compensation control for the
LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near IR (780).

Troubleshooting
Observation Possible cause Recommended action
Poor cell viability before
stimulation
Cell viability conditions were
suboptimal.
Ensure cells are prepared using a validated
protocol.
Resuspend cells in fresh, complete media.
On the day of the experiment, keep cells at
4°C, or on ice until ready to culture.
Cryopreserved cells were used
immediately after thawing.
Allow cells to rest in complete media at 37°C
for 20–30 minutes.
Unable to identify CD3, CD4,
or CD8 expressing cells
The incorrect compensation
was set.
Use the same antibody for compensation as in
the experiment.
Use FMO controls to validate the single-color
compensation.
The incorrect Forward/Side
scatter settings or gating were
set.
Use an ungated plot of CD3, CD4, or CD8.
Backgate onto a forward scatter versus side
scatter plot to determine where cells are, then
adjust voltages and gates accordingly.
Unable to detect IFN gamma or
IL-17A
The incorrect compensation
was set.
Use the same antibody for compensation as in
the experiment.
Use FMO controls to validate the single-color
compensation.
The protein transport inhibitor
was not added.
Add protein transport inhibitor for up to the
last 16 hours of incubation.
The stimulation conditions
were not optimized.
Optimize the duration of stimulation.
Titrate the concentration of stimulation
reagent(s).
If stimulation reagents are in DMSO, do not
exceed a final concentration of DMSO of 0.5%
(v/v).
Do not add the protein transport inhibitor for
longer than 16 hours.
