4/14/10 NAC Experiment

  • Will format later...Today's experiment is standard NAC experiment, with four dilutions of IgE. Column 1 = IgE 10, column 2 = IgE 1.1, column 3 = IgE 0.12, column 3 = IgE 0.014. Row 1 = RPMI, row 2 = NAC 30, row 3 = NAC 10, row 4 = NAC 3, row 5 = NAC 1, row 6 = NAC 0, plus stained blood control, unstained blood control, one tube fMLP 2nd 3fold dilution stim in RPMI (no NAC) control, one tube old IgE 2nd 3fold dilution stim in RPMI (no NAC) control. Controls are to test viability of new IgE aliquots, due to last week's weak degranulation response.
