Millipore filtered deionized water (“water”) was used as sample carrier and to prepare 1x PBS from 10x PBS (Rockland, Gilbertsville, PA) and CyPBS/0.1% BSA (Sigma) (“CyPBS/BSA”) buffer that was used as staining and washing media for PBMC. For some experiments, CyPBS/BSA was supplemented with 0.05% v/v sodium azide (Teknova, Hollister, CA) and 2 mM EDTA (Hoefer Inc., Holliston, MA). Buffers were filtered over 0.22 μm membranes (PALL, Ann Arbor, MI, or EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). Unlabeled, carrier protein-free antibodies (Table SI) were purchased from Biolegend (San Diego, CA), BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA), Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX), R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN) and Miltenyi Biotech (San Diego, CA). In-house conjugations were carried out using MAXPAR® kits (Fluidigm, Sunnyvale, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This includes CD45-In113 and CD45-In115 barcoding agents. Highly isotopically-enriched metal salts not available through Fluidigm were purchased from Trace Sciences (Richmond Hill, ON, Canada). Antibodies were diluted to working concentrations in CyPBS/BSA and filtered over 0.1 μm spin filters (Amicon, Millipore, Billerica, MA).

Immediately following euthanasia, each animal was trans-cardially perfused with 1.0L of phosphate-buffered saline followed by 1.0L of 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH7.4 (Polyscientific R & D, Bay Shore, NY). Tissues were excised and were post-fixed in fresh 4% PFA in PBS, pH7.4 for 48-h at room temperature and were then transferred to PBS + 0.05% sodium azide (Teknova, Hollister, CA) and stored at 4° C.

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.
