PBMCs were stained with 37 metal-conjugated antibodies (Lymphoid panel, Supplementary Table S3) as previously described (15 (link), 17 (link)). After staining, data acquisition was done on the Helios CyTOF mass cytometer (Fluidigm). The generated files were analyzed using FlowJo v10.5.1 (FlowJo, USA) and down-sampled to equal number of live immune cell events of 12906 (smallest possible events of the 13 files) for comparison. To identify cell populations, we clustered the merged data containing 167778 single cell events using the FlowSOM (18 (link)) method. Clusters showing significant temporal frequency changes were detected using repeated measures ANOVA, where linear mixed models were used to account for missing data (19 ). Clusters were assigned to 7 major cell lineages and visualized with t-stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) (20 (link)). Clustering results were validated by manual gating using FlowJo v10.5.1. Statistical analysis and data visualization were performed with R packages (21 ). In another CyTOF experiment to investigate MDSC, PBMC were stained with metal-conjugated antibodies (Myeloid panel, Supplementary Table S3) as described above. The CyTOF data were manually gated to check for the frequencies of MDSC using FlowJo.

CyTOF allows for high-dimensional analysis of cell surface markers, cytokines and signaling molecules simultaneously at the single-cell level20 (link). Thus, we used the CyTOF for phenotyping and function assay for the mouse lung myeloid populations including IMs, AMs, monocytes, neutrophils, DCs and eosinophils. A panel of metal-labelled antibodies (Supplementary Table 4) including several markers for macrophages and myeloid cells as well as cytokines and signaling molecules (CD45, CD11b, F4/80, CD64, Ly6C, Ly6G, MerTK, CD24, CD206, SiglecF, CD11c, CD301, Arginase 1, LGR4, β-Catenin, IL-10, iNOS, TNF, CX3CR1, CD80, CD69, CD86, CCR2, CD115, I-A/I-E, BST2, RELMα, CD103, CD3, CD49, TER-119) were used for staining according the FLUIDIGM Inc recommended protocol. Samples were run on the Helios CyTOF Mass cytometer (FLUIDIGM Inc, USA) at the flow cytometry core of Research Resources Center of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Data from the CyTOF were analyzed using Cytobank online analysis tool (www.cytobank.org/, Cytobank Inc, USA).

CyTOF Analysis of Tumor Microenvironment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumors were digested in a PBS‐based buffer (with 2% FBS) that contained both collagenase and DNAse. Subsequently, the cell homogenates were filtered through 70‐µm cell strainers (BD Biosciences) and immediately treated with CyTOF antibodies. For staining of cells, the cells were washed with 1× PBS, centrifuged at 300 × g, fixed with 1.6% formaldehyde, and then exposed to cisplatin viability staining reagent (Fluidigm) for ≈3 min. The cells were incubated in the antibody suspension for 30 min. The antibodies used for the CyTOF staining panel are listed in Table2. DNA was stained by adding an iridium intercalator solution (Fluidigm) to the cells. The cells were subsequently washed and reconstituted in Maxpar Cell Acquisition Solution with EQ four‐element calibration beads (Fluidigm) and then analyzed on a Helios CyTOF Mass Cytometer (Fluidigm).
CyTOF data were initially normalized using Normalizer and Debarcoding software. Data analysis was performed using the FlowJo v10 Software (BD Biosciences), Cytobank (Mountain View, CA), and the viSNE and CITRUS algorithms, enabling the mapping of single‐cell data in two dimensions as a tSNE plot. The tSNE plots were then used to understand the change in intratumoral microenvironment.

Cells were thawed for 3 minutes at 37°C in culture medium. 20 U/mL heparin sodium salt and 25 U/mL benzonase nuclease were added to prevent cell clumping (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). CyTOF staining was performed at room temperature. Cells were stained with Cell-ID cisplatin (Fluidigm, San Francisco, CA) for viability, washed, and blocked with TruStain FcX (BioLegend, San Diego, CA) for 10 minutes. Cells were then stained with CyTOF antibodies labeled with rare earth metal isotopes using MaxPar reagent kits from Fluidigm (Table S2, Supplemental Digital Content 1) for 30 minutes. After fixation and permeabilization of the cells using the FoxP3 Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), samples were barcoded using combinations of palladium isotopes as described (18 (link)), allowing the entire mixture of samples to be analyzed in a small number of CyTOF runs over 2 days. 18.75 μM iridium intercalator solution (Fluidigm, San Francisco, CA) was added to the cells, and cells were subsequently washed and reconstituted in Milli-Q filtered distilled water with EQ four element calibration beads (Fluidigm, San Francisco, CA). Cells were analyzed on a Helios CyTOF Mass Cytometer (Fluidigm, San Francisco, CA) (19 (link)).

Spleens were harvested from mice and the tissue was homogenized. Cells were washed twice with PBS and counted with the ViCell XR analyzer and resuspended in wash buffer (0.5% BSA in PBS). A cell surface antibody mix was added to each sample and put on the shaker for 1 h at room temperature. Cells were then washed three times to remove residual antibodies and 1 μM Pt198 (Fluidigm), a live/dead stain, was added to each sample for 5 min on the shaker at room temperature. Cells were washed three times, then 4% paraformaldehyde was added to each sample and were incubated for 15 min at room temperature. Cells were washed once, then 1 mL 100% methanol was added to each sample overnight. After one wash, intracellular antibody mix was added to each sample with incubation for 1 h on the shaker at room temperature. Cells were washed two times, then Ir‐intercalator‐193, 125 μM (Fluidigm, California, USA) was added to each sample with a final dilution of 1:2000.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BMMCs were thawed, washed, and barcoded according to manufacturer recommendations (Fluidigm). Barcoded cells were stained using a custom 39-marker panel designed to characterize innate and adaptative immune cell subtypes (online supplemental figure 1). Stained cells were acquired on a CyTOF Helios mass cytometer (Fluidigm). Automated cell classification was performed using the Astrolabe Mass Cytometry Platform (Astrolabe Diagnostics, Inc.). Briefly, immune subsets were clustered into self-organizing maps using the FlowSOM package and labeled using the Ek’Balam algorithm.15 (link) Cell subset definitions follow previously reported definitions of the healthy human immune system and the Human ImmunoPhenotyping Consortium.16 (link) Cell types were excluded if there were less than three cells in at least half of all samples. Plasmablasts, which primarily represent tumor cells, were excluded from the calculation of immune cell frequency.17 18 (link)

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.
