Blood was collected immediately postmortem by cardiac puncture, and single-cell suspensions prepared from the spleen of WT and Gaplinc-KO mice were depleted of red blood cells (RBCs) prior to staining. Fragment, crystallizable (Fc) receptors were blocked (anti-CD16/32, BD Pharmingen) prior to staining with LIVE/DEAD Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain (Thermo Fisher), anti–CD11b-AlexaFluor 700, anti–LY6G-BV421, anti–LY6C-AlexaFluor 488, anti–CD19 PerCP-Cy5.5, anti–CSF-1R APC (BioLegend), anti–CD3-PE (BD), anti–SiglecF BV650 (BD OptiBuild), and anti–F4/80 PE-eFluor 610 (eBioScience).
Flow cytometry analysis of peritoneal fluid isolated from WT and Gaplinc-KO mice (24 (link)) challenged with LPS i.p. for 18 h was performed; cells were stained with anti–CD11b-AlexaFluor 700 and anti–F4/80 PE-eFluor 610 (eBioScience).
Flow cytometry analysis of BMDMs harvested from WT and Gaplinc-KO mice was performed; cells were stained with anti–CD11b-AlexaFluor 700 and anti–F4/80 PE-eFluor 610 (eBioScience).
Data acquisition was performed using Attune NxT (Thermo Fisher). Analysis was performed using FlowJo analysis software (BD Biosciences).
