Male mice of various ages were produced in our specific-pathogen-free facilities at Harvard Medical School, and were fed a chow diet (no. 5058, Lab Diet Picolab Mouse Diet 20), or HFD (60 kcal% Fat, Research Diets, D12492i). B6.CD45.1+ mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Foxp3-GFP mice were obtained from Dr. V. Kuchroo. vTreg53 TCR-tg mice were generated based on one of the expanded VAT-Treg clones, as previously described (Li et al., 2018 (link)), and were crossed with Foxp3-GFPKI/KI females. Tg+ Foxp3-GFPKI/y male progeny were used for experiments. In all cases, the Tcra plus Tcrb transgene was maintained in the heterozygous state. All experiments were performed using littermate controls and following animal protocols approved by the HMS Institutional Animal Use and Care Committee (protocol IS00001257).

B6.CD45.1+ mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory and subjected to a 500rad irradiation. Daxx+/+ and Daxx-/- donor T cells (CD45.2+) were isolated from the spleen and lymph nodes of indicated mice. T cells were resuspended in PBS and adoptively transferred into irradiated CD45.1+ recipient mice (3 x 106 cells/mouse) by retroorbital injection. Seven days later, spleen and lymph nodes of recipient mice were made into single cell suspensions, stained with anti-CD45.1+ and CD45.2+ (eBioscience) and anti-Thy1.2 (BD Biosciences) antibodies, and analyzed by flow cytometry on an LSR II.

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.
