I am having problems to have reproducible results in the establishment of my controls for the determination of ROS in THP-1 monocytes by the NBT reduction method, inducing with PMA or LPS. Could someone give me some recommendations based on your experience?
I´m using RPMI supplemented as ATCC recomendation( high glucose content 4.5 g/L) without HSA ( albumin) or FBS in the stimulation time, I collect the supernatant, wash the well with PBS and centrifuge to then resuspend the pellet in KOH and incorporated it in the well again and finally add DMSO..
