PBMCs were thawed and stimulated with the indicated cytokines or were left unstimulated (baseline). Intranuclear immunofluorescence staining was performed to quantify phosphorylation of STAT1, 3, and 5 proteins, in combination with surface staining for lineage-specific markers to distinguish between B cells, monocytes, and T cells (CD8+ and CD4+)Back to article page
