abstractText | Protein kinase C-delta (PKC-delta) is a key enzyme controlling growth, differentiation, and apoptosis in various cells, including immune cells. Here, we present a protocol to determine PKC-delta activation in response to increased membrane-bound diacylglycerol or phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate treatment in murine bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells. We describe steps for dendritic cell differentiation, the isolation of plasma membrane lipids, and the quantification of diacylglycerol. We then detail procedures for measuring PKC-delta kinase activity by in vitro assay, indirect immunofluorescence, and western blotting experiments. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Parsons et al.(1). |
