SB-NC or SB-Tim3 OE cells (2 × 104 cells), and GL261-NC or GL261-Tim3 OE cells (2 × 105 cells) were intracranially injected into 6 weeks old male C57BL/6N mice. Doxycycline (2 mg/mL) were added into drinking water to induce Tim-3 overexpression at day 7 after injection. Tumor tissues were harvested at day 14 and followed by FACS and qPCR analyses. The antibody panel and qPCR primer sequences were listed in key resources table. For FACS, single cell suspension was prepared and first stained with cell membrane fluorescein-conjugated antibodies. Before intracellular fluorescein-conjugated antibody staining, cells were treated with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ PlusFixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit. And BD Pharmingen™Transcription Factor Buffer Set was applied for the pretreatment before intranuclear fluorescein-conjugated antibody staining. For IFN-γ detection, cells were treated with BD GolgiPlug, Ionomycin and PMA for 4 hours. BD LSRFortessa flow cytometer was employed for data acquiring. FlowJo was used for FACS data analysis. For the detection of TAMs source and polarization status in SB mouse samples, RT-qPCR was performed to detect the marker expression of microglia, peripheral monocyte, pro-inflammatory/anti-tumorigenic macrophage and anti-inflammatory/pro-tumorigenic macrophage polarization markers.

Twenty hours prior to infection, 1 × 104 Huh-7 cells per well were seeded in 96-well microplates and maintained in DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS and 0.5 g/ml gentamycin. Huh-7 cell monolayers were infected at MOI 0.5, as mentioned above for 72 h, and processed for cytometry. Briefly, cells were treated with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ Plus Fixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit with BD GolgiPlug™ according to the manufacturer´s instructions and then washed and incubated with 4G2-FITC antibody (donated by the Functional Genetics of Infectious Diseases Unit, Institute Pasteur, Paris) for 30 min at 4 °C. After incubation, cells were washed once with PBS (pH 7.2), resuspended, and then analyzed using a FACScan flow cytometer (BD Accuri™ C6). Mock-infected cells were used as negative controls. At least 1000 cells were gated by light scatter. Data analysis was performed with FlowJo 10 software.

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.
