Three days after the second s.l. immunization, spleens were removed and embedded in Tissue-Tek OCT compound (Sakura, Zoeterwoude, The Netherlands). For some analyses, tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −70°C. 7-μm-thick frozen tissue sections were prepared and then fixed in acetone, air-dried, and rinsed in PBS. Spleen cryosections were stained with anti-B220, GL7, and Ki67 (anti-B220-Biotin, BD #553086 followed by Streptavidin Alexa Fluor 594, Invitrogen #S11227; GL7-eFluor 660, eBioscience #50-5902-82; Ki67-V450, BD #561281). Slides were mounted with Dako fluorescent mounting medium #S3023 (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). Confocal images were acquired using an inverted LSM 700 Axio Observer.Z1 under Plan-Apochromat 20×/1.4 DIC immersion objective (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Single-cell suspensions were prepared from spleen, bone marrow and thymus of 6-14 week old mice. Single-cell suspensions were stained with antibodies and analyzed using FACS Calibur with CellQuest software (BD Bioscence, San Diego, CA) or FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR) (15 (link)). B220+CD43-IgM- small pre-B cells and CD4+CD8+ double-positive T cells were sorted by a MoFlo flow cytometer. Splenic B cells were purified using B cell isolation kits with MACS cell separation columns (Miltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA). Generally we pooled bone marrow or splenic cells from 2-3 animals of the same genetic background for cell fractionation. Antibodies used are as follows: anti-mouse-Igκ-PE (BD Bioscience); anti-mouse-Igλ1,2,3-FITC (BD Bioscience); anti-human-Igκ-FITC (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL); anti-B220-PerCP-Cy5.5, anti-IgM-APC, anti-CD43-PE, anti-B220-FITC, anti–CD21-FITC, anti–CD23-APC, anti–CD4-FITC, anti–CD8a-PE, anti-B220-biotin (all from BD Bioscience); Streptavidin-APC (Southern Biotech).

Mouse spleens were embedded in Cryomatrix embedding resin (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Frozen tissues were sectioned at 7 μm thick using CryoStar NX70 Cryostat (Thermo Fisher Scientific), then fixed in acetone, air-dried, and rinsed in PBS. Next, spleen cryosections were stained with anti-B220-biotin (BD Biosciences), GL7-Alexa Fluor 488 (eBioscience), and Ki-67-Horizon V450 (BD Biosciences), followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated streptavidin (Invitrogen). Slides were mounted with ProLong gold antifade mounting media (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Confocal images were acquired using a TCS SPE confocal microscope (Leica) with a 60× zoom. The data were analyzed using LAS X Leica software (Leica).

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.
