For the generation of bone-marrow chimeras, irradiated NOD-LIRKO mice
(900 rad) were injected intravenously with lineage-depleted bone marrow cells
(5×105 / mouse) isolated from NOD-Lox or NOD.BDC2.5 mice.
Lineage depletion was performed using magnetic separation with MACS
lineage-depletion kit (Miltenyi Biotech) according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Lineage depletion efficiency was measured by Flow Cytometry.
