Immunohistochemical analysis of human IL-10 expression on human peripheral mononuclear cells. PBMC were isolated from human peripheral blood by density gradient centrifugation and were cultured for 2 days with plate bound anti-human CD3 and soluble anti-human CD28 in the presence of recombinant human IL-2 and recombinant human IL-4. The cells were subsequently harvested, washed and recultured with recombinant human IL-2 and recombinant human IL-4 for an additional 3 days. Finally, the cells were harvested, washed and stimulated with PMA (Sigma) and ionomycin (Sigma) in the presence of GolgiStop™ (Cat. No. 554724) for 4 hours at 37°C. The activated cells were harvested and the presence of IL-10 producing cells was detected by immunocytochemistry using a three-step staining procedure that employs Biotin Goat Anti-Rat Ig (Cat. No. 559286) and Anti-Rat Ig HRP Detection Kit (Cat. No. 551013) (see protocol below) (Nomarski optics, original magnification 400 X). To demonstrate specificity of staining the binding of Purified Rat Anti-Human IL-10 (Cat. No. 559076) antibody was blocked by the preincubation of the purified antibody with excess recombinant human IL-10 protein (Cat. No. 554611; data not shown).

Immunocytochemistry: Purified Rat Anti-Human IL-10 (Cat. No. 559076) can be used to identify and enumerate human IL-10 producing cells by immunocytochemistry. For optimal indirect immunocytochemical staining, the JES3-12G8 antibody should be titrated and visualized via a three-step staining procedure in combination with biotin goat anti-Rat IgG and an avidin/streptavidin horseradish peroxidase detection system. A detailed protocol for the cytokine immunocytochemical procedure follows.

PROCEDURE FOR IMMUNOCYTOCHEMICAL STAINING OF SINGLE-CELL PREPARATIONS
This procedure describes the immunoenzymatic technique of staining cytokines within individual cells that are immobilized on microscopic slides via adherence (adherent slides) or centrifugation (cytospins).
ADHESION SLIDES

20. Apply 20 µl of Streptavidin-HRP (BD Cat. No. 550946) to each well on slides and incubate for 30 min at RT.
21. Wash slides 2X with PBS with 5 minutes incubations.
22. Incubate with DAB Substrate as directed, (BD Cat. No. 550880) for less than 5 min at RT.
23. Stop the development of the color reaction by washing with PBS.
24. The slides are subsequently mounted in short-term storage mounting medium.
CYTOSPINS
1. Assemble the Cytospin's sample chamber (e.g. Cytospin 3, Shandon, UK or comparable centrifuge), filter card, slide and cytospin racks according to manufacturer's specifications.
2. Load 40 µl of approximately 1 x 10×6 cells to each sample chamber.
3. Spin slides at 600 rpm for 2 min.
4. Take slides out of the cytospin rack and place them on a staining rack.
5. For fixation and staining please follow the steps 4 through 24 specified above for staining cells on adhesion slides.
The JES3-12G8 antibody reacts with human interleukin-10 (IL-10) and viral IL-10. The immunogen used to generate the JES3-12G8 hybridoma was human IL-10. This is a neutralizing antibody.
