Cells were stained with specific antibodies or control isotypes using conventional protocols. The following anti-mouse antibodies were used for FACS analysis of MDSCs: CD11b/PECy5, Gr1/PE, Gr1/APC, CD62L/FITC, F4/80/FITC, CD11c/PE, and MHC CI OVA peptide/Biotin from eBiosciences (San Diego, CA); as well as CD124/PE, CD40/FITC, CD86/FITC, IA-IE/FITC, Ly6C/FITC and Ly6G/PE that were purchased from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA). Lymphocytes characterization was performed with the next specific antibodies: CD8/PE and CD8/Biotin, CD69/PECy5, CD62L/FITC, CD247/PE, CD4/PE, CD4/PECy5, CD25/PECy5, Foxp3/Biotin, IFN-γ/FITC, IL-4/PE and IL-17/PE, all from eBiosciences. FITC-conjugated Streptavidin was purchased also from eBiosciences. In all cases, cells were previously incubated with anti-mouse FcγR 2.4G2 ascites (HB-197; ATCC) to reduce the non-specific binding. For intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized, according to the manufacturer’s protocol, with either Foxp3 Staining Buffer Set or IC Fixation and 10X Permeabilization Buffers from eBiosciences. Cells were acquired using both FACScan (BD Biosciences) and Gallios (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL) flow cytometers and analyzed with Kaluza 1.2 (Beckman Coulter) and FlowJo 5.7.2 (Tree Star Inc., USA) softwares.

Immunofluorescence Staining of Tumor Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 14 days tumor engraftment, tumors from WT and KO mice were flash frozen in OCT (Fisher) and sectioned into 8μm slices using a CM1860 cryostat (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). Sections were fixed in pre-chilled acetone then stained overnight at 4°C with 1:100 Foxp3-Biotin (Ebioscience) and Laminin-Alexa Fluor 647 1:500 (Novus, Littleton, CO) in antibody staining buffer - 0.5% Triton X-100 and 1% BSA (Sigma) in TBS (Boston Bioproducts, Ashland, MA). The following day, Streptavidin Alexa Fluor-488 (Fisher) was added for 2 hours at RT, washed, and mounted using Fluoroshield with DAPI (Sigma). Images were taken with a Leica DMi8 microscope with a 20X objective. Data was processed and quantified using imageJ.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Retinal Immune Cells

For arginase-1 staining, mice were perfused transcardially with ice-cold PBS containing 4 U/mL heparin, then with 4% paraformaldehyde. Eyes were enucleated, and frozen on dry ice in OCT. Ten μm sections were cut on a Lyca cryostat and mounted on gelatin coated slides. Sections were then stained for arginase-1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, clone V20), CD68 (Biolegend, clone FA11), Iba1 (Biocare Medical, polyclonal) and GFP (Abcam, polyclonal). For CD4 and CD11b staining, mice were perfused transcardially with ice-cold PBS containing 4 U/mL heparin. Eyes were enucleated and frozen on dry ice in OCT. Ten μm sections were cut on a Lyca cryostat and mounted on gelatin coated slides. Slides were post-fixed in 3:1 acetone:ethanol at 4 degrees before staining with the flowing antibodies: CD4-FITC (eBioscience, clone GK-1.5), CD11b (Biolegend, clone M1/70), Foxp3-biotin (eBioscience, clone FKJ-16s). For Foxp3 and CD4 co-staining, CD4 was detected with an anti-fluorescein secondary antibody (Life Technologies) and FoxP3 was detected with Alexfluor 594 conjugated streptavidin (Jackson Immunochemical)

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
