Splenocytes from mice were stimulated for 6 hrs with PMA and Ionomycin in the presence of protein transport inhibitor Golgi Stop. Cells were harvested and surface stained with PE conjugated rat anti-mouse CD8 antibody. These cells were later fixed and permeabilized using a Fixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit followed by staining with rat anti-mouse IFN-gamma antibody.
