Incubate the suppression assay at 37 °C and 5–7% CO₂ for 5 days.
▲ Note: If a proliferation dye (e.g. CellTrace or CFSE) was used, refer to "Flow cytometry analysis" for detailed description of final flow cytometry analysis.
▲ Note: If 3H-thymidine was used: after 4 days add the appropriate volume of 3H-thymidine to each well and incubate at 37 °C and 5–7% CO₂ for 16 hours. Measure 3H-thymidine incorporation, e.g., by using a liquid scintillation counter.
The data obtained by flow cytometry analysis can be summarized in a graphic as depicted in the figure below.
