Whole blood anticoagulated with heparin sodium (100 μL) was conjugated with fluoresceine isothiocyanate (FITC) rat anti-Mouse CD45 (553080, BD, USA), phycoerythrin (PE) rat anti-mouse Ly-6G and Ly-6C (553128), and Alexa Fluor 647 rat anti-mouse F4/80 (565853, BD) at room temperature for 30 min. Then, 2 mL of 1× red cell lysate was added for 10 min at room temperature in the dark and centrifuged for 5 min at 300× g. The supernatant was discarded, and 2 mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was added for resuspension and centrifuged at 300× g for 5 min. The supernatant was discarded again, and 500 μL of PBS was added, followed by analysis by flow cytometry (FCM; FACS Aria III, San Jose, CA, USA).

Preparation of FACS tissue was carried out as previously described [62 ]. Cortex from perfused brains was mechanically homogenized and enzymatically digested before straining and separating through a Percoll gradient. Antibodies for CD3 (APC hamster anti-mouse CD3; 1:200; BD Bioscience #553,066), CD11b (PE rat anti-CD11b; 1:200; BD Bioscience #557,397), and CD45 (FITC rat anti-mouse CD45; 1:100; BD Bioscience #553,079) were added to cell suspensions and whole blood samples before the samples were washed and centrifuged, and the pellet resuspended in flow cytometry buffer. Samples were sorted on a FACS Aria™ Fusion cell sorter (Becton Dickenson), lymphocytes were identified as CD3 + , and macrophages were identified as being CD11b + CD45hi.

The proximal third of the gastrocnemius was immediately processed for flow cytometry.22 Briefly, muscles were digested in Miltenyi gentleMACS C tube (Cat# 130‐093‐237, Miltenyi Biotec) containing Collagenase B (1.5 U/mL, Cat# 11088831001, Sigma‐Aldrich) and Dispase II (2 U/mL, Cat# 42613‐33‐2, Sigma‐Aldrich) in Ham's F10 media (Cat# 318‐050‐CL, Wisent Inc) by gentleMACS Octo Dissociator (Cat# 130‐096‐427, Miltenyi Biotec). The resulting muscle slurry was filtered (100 μm; Cat# 22‐363‐549, Fisher Scientific) and then treated with Red Blood Cell Lysing Buffer (Cat# R7767, Sigma‐Aldrich). Cells were incubated with FITC Rat Anti‐Mouse CD45 (Cat# 561088, BD Biosciences), BV510 Rat Anti‐Mouse CD31 (Cat# 563089, BD Biosciences), anti‐Alpha 7 Integrin (ITGA7) 647 (Cat# 67‐0010‐05, AbLab) and BV711 Rat Anti‐Mouse Ly‐6A/E (Sca1) (Cat# 563992, BD Biosciences) in flow buffer (10% FBS, 3 mM of EDTA in 1× PBS) for 35 min. Cell viability was assessed with SYTOX™ Green (Cat# S34860, Invitrogen). Cell populations of interest were haematopoietic (CD31/CD45+), endothelial (CD45/CD31+), MuSCs (CD45/CD31/ITGA7+) and FAPs (CD45/CD31/ITGA7/Sca1+). Analysis was performed using an NxT flow cytometer and processed in FlowJo™ v10.8 Software (BD Life Sciences) with gates and compensation established using fluorescence minus one and single‐stained controls.

For flow cytometry analysis, whole blood samples were stained following the almost identical protocol already described elsewhere72 (link) by using the following fluorochrome-labeled anti-mouse mAbs: FITC Rat Anti-Mouse CD45; APC Rat Anti-Mouse Ly-6G; PE-CF594 Rat Anti-Mouse Ly-6G and Ly-6C; PE-Cy7 Rat Anti-Mouse CD4; Alexa Fluor 700 Rat Anti-Mouse CD8a; APC-Cy7 Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R; PE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e and PerCP-Cy5.5 Rat Anti-Mouse CD335 (BD Biosciences, San Diego, USA). In brief, protected from light, blood was incubated for 15 min at room temperature. The stained samples were then treated with BD FACS lysing solution (BD Biosciences) following manufacturer’s instructions. Thereafter, white blood cells were washed twice with washing buffer (PBS, 1% BSA and 0.1% sodium azide), resuspended in measuring buffer (PBS, 0.1% BSA and 0.1% sodium azide) and measured by flow cytometry using LSR Fortessa (BD Biosciences, San Diego, USA). Plots were compensated and analyzed by FlowLogic Software 7.2.1 (Inivai Technologie, Mentone Victoria, Australia). Gating strategy is shown in Supplemental Fig. 1.

Xenograft Modeling of Leukemia in NSG Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NSG (NOD/Shi-scid/IL-2Rγnull) mice (in-house breeding; female, 4–6 weeks) were sublethally irradiated (250 rads), and each mouse was injected with 0.6 × 106 cells via lateral tail vein. Engraftment was assessed by flow cytometric measurement of human and mouse CD45 expression on the cell surface (APC mouse anti-human CD45 and FITC rat anti-mouse CD45, BD Biosciences). 15 mice were transplanted with MV4;11-C cells, 7 of which were assessed for engraftment. 10 mice were transplanted with MV4;11-KD cells, 5 of which were assessed for engraftment. For REH-C and REH-KD cells, 5 mice were transplanted with each cell line, and all were assessed for engraftment. The sample sizes were chosen based on efficiency of resource use, past experience with similar experiments, and pilot experiments to determine the effect size. No animal was excluded from the analysis, randomization was not used, and the investigator was not blinded. All animal procedures were conducted in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) and were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Johns Hopkins University.

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.
