CAIA mice were intravenously injected with control IgG, unmodified α-TNF, or CBP–α-TNF at a dose of 200 μg per mouse. On day 5, hind paws were harvested and digested in Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium supplemented with 2% FBS, collagenase D (2 mg/ml) and deoxyribonuclease I (40 μg/ml; Roche) for 30 min at 37°C. Single-cell suspensions were obtained by gently disrupting through a 70-μm cell strainer. Antibodies against the following molecules were used: anti-mouse CD45 (30-F11, BD Biosciences), F4/80 (T45-2342, BD Biosciences), Ly6G (1A8, BioLegend), Ly6C (HK1.4, BioLegend), and CD11b (M1/70, BioLegend). Fixable live/dead cell discrimination was performed using Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 455 (eBioscience) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Following a washing step, cells were stained with specific antibodies for 20 min on ice. Flow cytometric analyses were done using a Fortessa (BD Biosciences) flow cytometer and analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star).

The MMTV-PyMT model was prepared as described above. Mice were treated on day 7 with aldoxorubicin, Dox-SA, or Dox-CBD-SA (5 mg/kg). Mice were euthanized on day 14. Cell suspensions were obtained from each tumor as described previously (9 (link)). Tumors were harvested and digested in DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS, collagenase D (2 mg/ml), and DNase I (40 μg/ml) (Roche) for 30 min at 37°C. Single-cell suspensions were obtained by gently disrupting the organs through a 70-μm cell strainer. Red blood cells were lysed with ACK lysing buffer (Quality Biological). Fixable live/dead cell discrimination was performed using Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 455 (eBioscience) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Following a washing step, cells were stained with specific antibodies for 20 min on ice before fixation. The following antibodies were used to stain the cells: CD3 (145-2C11, BD Biosciences), CD4 (RM4-5, BD Biosciences), CD8α (53-6.7, BD Biosciences), CD45 (30-F11, BD Biosciences), and NK1.1 (PK136, BD Biosciences). All flow cytometric analyses were done using a Fortessa flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star).

Comprehensive Murine Lung Cell Analysis

Whole lungs were removed and chopped with razor blades, incubated with type IV collagenase (Worthington) at 37 °C for 40 min, then homogenized through a 70-µm cell strainer (Falcon). Remaining red blood cells were lysed using 1× red blood cell lysis buffer (BD Biosciences). Cells were stained with Fixable Viability Dye eFluor® 455 (eBioscience). Anti-mouse immunophenotyping antibodies were diluted in FACS buffer (3% FBS, 2 mM EDTA, 1× PBS) to 5 µg per mL along with Fc block (anti-mouse CD16/CD32; 5 µg per mL, BD), and cells were stained for 30 min on ice in three groups (AMφ: CD45 (30-F11; BD), CD11c (HL3; BD), CD11b (M1/70; BD), and Siglec-F (E50-2440; BD); monocyte and neutrophil: Ly-6C (AL-21; BD), Ly-6G (1A8; BD), and CD11b (M1/70; BD); dendritic cell: CD45 (30-F11; BD), CD11c (HL3; BD), CD11b (M1/70; BD), MHC II (M5/114.15.2; BD), and CD103 (M290; BD); NK cells: CD3 (17A2; BD), NK-1.1 (PK136; BD), and CD49b (DX5; BD)). After the staining, cells were washed twice with FACS buffer and then fixed in 2% para-formaldehyde in FACS buffer for 15 min. Cell numbers were counted using AccuCount Fluorescent Particles (Spherotech). All data were collected on an LSR II flow cytometer (BD) and analyzed using FlowJo software.

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.
