Tumor-bearing mouse lungs were collected from KP mice after which tumor nodules were excised and cut into about 1 mm pieces before placement under Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) containing 100 U/mL Collagenase D from Clostridium histolyticum (Sigma Aldrich) and 50 μg/mL DNase I grade II from bovine pancreas (Sigma Aldrich) for 40 minutes at 37°C. After digestion, cells were passed through a 70 µm strainer to remove clumps, and treated with ACK Lysing Buffer (Life Technologies). Cells were resuspended in FACS buffer (PBS + 2% fetal bovine serum) for flow cytometry. For multicolor flow cytometry, cells were first stained with LIVE/DEAD Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit, for 405 nm excitation (Life Technologies) for 30 minutes at 4 °C and washed twice with FACS buffer. Cells were treated with purified anti-mouse CD16/32 (BioLegend) for 15 minutes, and then antibody mixture was added. Thirty minutes later, the cells were washed twice with FACS buffer and fixed in 1% formalin or further processed for intracellular staining. For intracellular staining, cells were fixed/permeabilized with Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set Kit (eBioscience) before antibodies were added. After two washes, samples were resuspended in FACS buffer before acquisition using BD LSR Fortessa or BD FACS Canto (BD Biosciences)].

For the analysis of CTLs, splenocytes and MLNs cells were stained with fluorescently labelled antibodies (online supplementary table 4) including Fixable Viability Dye eFlour 780, PerCP-eFluor 710 anti-mouse CD3, FITC rat anti-mouse CD8a, PE rat anti-mouse TNF, BD Horizon BV421 hamster anti-Mouse CD279. To remove non-specific binding of fluorescently labelled antibodies to Fc receptors, the Fc receptors were blocked with purified anti-mouse CD16/32. For intracellular staining of TNF-α, the cells were treated with the Leucocyte Activation Cocktail for 12 hours. The cells were then fixed, permeabilised and washed using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set Kit (#85-00-5523-00, eBioscience).

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.
