Antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) are the hallmark of the adaptive immune response to vaccines or infections. Here, we present a protocol to quantify the number of ASCs using an enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISpot). We describe the preparation of cell samples, ELISpot plates, and their quantification. This assay has potential applications in vaccine studies and research on the adaptive immune system or ASC-associated diseases. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol please, refer to Bierling et al..
抗体分泌细胞(ASC)是疫苗或感染适应性免疫反应的标志。在此,我们介绍一种使用酶联免疫斑点测定法(ELISpot)定量ASC数量的方案。我们描述了细胞样本、ELISpot板的制备及其定量方法。该测定法在疫苗研究以及适应性免疫系统或ASC相关疾病的研究中具有潜在应用。有关本方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参考比林等人的研究。
