Visualization and Quantification of NFAT1 Translocation in T Cells
摘要
NFAT1 translocation to the nucleus and consequent IL-2 production in T cells can be used as a downstream read-out for initial T cell activation via the T cell receptor complex. Here, we describe a protocol for the detection of NFAT1 translocation using anti-CD3/anti-CD28 coated beads as a stimulus of primary murine CD4+ T cells by immunohistochemistry. Further, an open-source Python code is described to determine NFAT1 translocation.
