Quantifying Peritoneal Macrophage Subsets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two methods were used to quantify peritoneal macrophages. Total peritoneal cells were counted in a hemacytometer or using an automated cell counter. Then this number was multiplied by the percent of macrophages stained for CD115 (AFS98; eBioscience), ICAM-2 (3C4; BioLegend) and F4/80 (BM8, eBioscience) by flow cytometry. These antibodies allow us to distinguish the minor and major peritoneal macrophage populations (Gautier et al., 2012 (link)), with only the major macrophage population expressing ICAM-2 (Gautier et al., 2012 (link)). Alternatively, peritoneal cells obtained by lavage were incubated with FITC-conjugated anti–ICAM-2 mAb, and then a manual count of the fraction of ICAM-2+ cells was made and multiplied by the total number of peritoneal cells. Both methods yielded similar results. Other reagents and mAbs used in flow cytometry were Annexin V (Miltenyi Biotec) and antibodies against Ki67 (B56; BD), active caspase 3 (C92-605; BD), pH3 (D2C8; Cell Signaling technology), TIMD4 (RMT4-54; eBioscience), CD206 (MR5D3; Serotec), LYVE-1 (Abcam), Siglec F (E50-2440; BD), CD11b (M1/70; eBioscience), CD5 (53–7.3; BD), B220 (RA3-6B2; eBioscience), ly 6C/G (RB6-8C5; eBioscience), Ly6-G (1A8; BD), TCRb (H57-597; eBioscience), MHC-II (M5/114.15.2; eBioscience), and MARCO (ED31; Serotec).

Ears were collected and processed as described54 (link). All cells were first pre-incubated with anti-mouse CD16/CD32 for blockade of Fc γ receptors, then were washed and incubated for 40 min with the appropriate monoclonal antibody conjugates in a total volume of 200 μl PBS containing 2 mM EDTA and 2% (vol/vol) bovine serum. DAPI (Invitrogen) was used to distinguish live cells from dead cells during cell analysis. Stained cells were analyzed on a FACS Canto or LSRII machine using the Diva software (BD Bioscience). Data were analyzed with FlowJo software (TreeStar). The following fluorochrome-conjugated anti-mouse antibodies were used at indicated dilutions: CD103 (2E7, 1:200), CD11c (N418, 1:200), CD24 (30-F11, 1:200), CD11b (M1/70, 1:200), MHC-II (M5/114.15.2, 1:400), CD45 (30-F11, 1:200), CD64 (X54-5/7.1, 1:200), Ly6C (HK1.4, 1:200), TCRb (H57-597, 1:200), CD3 (145-2C11, 1:200), TCRgd (EBIOGL3, 1:200), B220 (RA3-6B2, 1:200), CD49b (DX5, 1:200) and FCeR1 (MAR-1, 1:200) were from eBioscience; Siglec-F (E50-2440, 1:200), Ly6G (1A8, 1:200), CD117 (2B8, 1:200), CD8 (53-6.7, 1:200), and CD4 (GK1.5, 1:200) were from BD Bioscience.

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.
