2 × 106 liver cells, or 20 μl of whole blood was incubated with Zombie Aqua fixable viability dye (Biolegend, London, UK) for 10 min at RT and then with 0.025 μg anti‐CD16/32 (2.4G2; Biolegend) in 10% normal mouse serum (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). Cells were then incubated with antibodies (Supplemental Table 1). Cells were washed, spun at 300 g for 5 min and, where necessary, incubated with fluorescently labeled streptavidin. 7‐AAD solution (Biolegend) was added to samples 10 min before acquisition when comparing isolation protocols. DAPI was used as a viability marker for FACS. Liver cells were gated as shown, whereas alveolar and interstitial mϕ were identified as CD45+CD11c+SiglecF+ and CD45+CD11c+SiglecFMHCII+CD64+ cells, respectively.
For BrdU and Ki67 staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized overnight in FoxP3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer (eBioscience). Cells were washed in PermWash (eBioscience) and stained with anti‐Ki67 and anti‐BrdU antibodies.
Cells were acquired on a LSRFortessa (BD Biosciences, Wokingham, UK) or FACSAriaII (BD) at the QMRI Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Facility, University of Edinburgh, and data analyzed in FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, Oregon). Fluorescence‐minus‐one controls were used to set gates.

After treatment, the BMDMs were incubated with 20 μM BrdU (B5002, Sigma) in fresh culture medium at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere (5% CO2). After 2 h, the cells were washed twice with PBS (without Ca2+/Mg2+) and harvested. Subsequently, 1 × 106 cells were resuspended in cold (–20 °C) ethanol and fixed overnight at 4 °C. Afterward, the cells were washed and incubated in 2 M HCL containing 0.5% Triton X-100 at RT. After 30 min, the cells were washed again and incubated with 0.1 M Na2B4O7 for 10 min at RT. After another wash, the cell pellets were resuspended in anti-BrdU antibody solution (1:25, 3D4; BioLegend) and incubated for 30 min in the dark at RT. The cells were washed twice in cell staining buffer (BioLegend; 420201) and resuspended in 100 μL staining buffer containing 5 μL 7-AAD solution (BioLegend; 420403). After a 30 min incubation at RT in the dark, the cells were analyzed using a FACSAria II instrument (BD Biosciences).

Arachidonyl-2′-chloroethylamide hydrate (ACEA; CB1 agonist), Rimonabant hydrochloride (SR141716A; CB1 antagonist/inverse agonist), GW833972A (CB2 agonist), SR144528 (CB2 antagonist/inverse agonist), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were used. These cannabinoid receptor agonists and antagonists were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 20 mM and stored at −20 °C until used.
Saponin (Amresco, Solon, OH, USA) was used. Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE), brefeldin A, and monensin were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. RPMI 1640 medium and fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) were used. Ficoll-Hypaque solution (IsoPrep)(Robbins Scientific Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) was used. Finally, 7-AAD solution was purchased from BioLegend.

Monitoring Cell Apoptosis Dynamics

Cell lines or PBMCs (1 × 105/100 µL) were pre-incubated with mAb MT99/3 at a final concentration of 20 µg/mL or isotype-matched control mAb 4G2 or medium (No Ab) for 30 min at room temperature. The treated cells were centrifuged and the excess mAbs were removed. The secondary antibody crosslinker goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (#115-005-072 Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA) at 5 µg/mL, 150 µL were added into the treated cells and incubated for 30 min at room temperature. After that, the activated cells were incubated at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator for 0 min, 90 min and 180 min. Treated cells were harvested and stained with apoptosis markers Annexin V-FITC (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) and 7-AAD solution (BioLegend). Cell apoptosis was determined by a BD Accuri C6 Plus flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and analyzed using FlowJo software V10.6.2.

Confluent HRECs were detached using 0.05% Trypsin (Corning, MT25052CI) and collected in growth medium. Cells were centrifuged and resuspended in sterile FACS buffer (3% FBS, 2 mM EDTA, 0.1% NaN3). Cell suspensions were incubated with the following antibodies (20 min, on ice): anti‐ICAM1‐PB (1:25, BioLegend, 322715), anti‐VCAM1‐PE (1:25, BioLegend, 305805), anti‐E‐Selectin‐PE (1:25, BioLegend, 322605), AnnexinV‐FITC (1:25, BioLegend, 640905), and propidium iodide (1:50, BioLegend, 421301). Cells were then washed and resuspended in ice‐cold FACS buffer. Cell suspensions were additionally incubated with 7‐AAD Solution (1:100, BioLegend, 420404) for 5 min to detect dead cells and passed through cell strainer tubes (Falcon, 352235). Flow cytometric analysis was performed using the CytoFLEX S Flow Cytometer (Beckman Coulter) and quantified with the FlowJo v10 software. Surface levels of ICAM1, VCAM1, and E‐Selectin were calculated from mean fluorescence intensities and further normalized relative to control. Cell proliferation was measured using the Click‐iT EdU Flow Cytometry Assay Kit (Invitrogen, C10425) following manufacturer's instructions.

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.
