Is there a NK cell degranulation assay for mouse cells similar to that in K562 cells?

15 June 2020 1 9K Report

I'm looking for an assay to test degranulation of mouse NK cells but all the protocols I find are for human NK cells cocultured with human K562 cells.

Thanks!

Erin Naismith

Hey Katharine Wolf did you find one in the end? I read PMA Iono works, what did you end up doing?

Best,

Erin
