In order to obtain single cell suspensions, spleen and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) tissues were passed through 70μm filters in a PBS solution supplemented with 3% fetal bovine serum. Bone marrow (BM) was flushed from the long bones of mice with 22 ½ gauge syringes using 3% FBS in PBS, and then subsequently passed through 70μm filters. Red blood cells were then removed from the single cell suspensions by lysis with Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium buffer.
An equal number of cells for each sample were first blocked with FcγR for 20 minutes, followed by one wash with PBS and incubation with the primary antibody (1:100–1:500) for 30 minutes at room temperature in the dark. When secondary antibodies were necessary, samples were incubated with the conjugated antibody for 30 minutes after primary antibody incubation. Samples were then washed once with PBS, transferred to FACS tubes, and passed through either BD LSR II flow cytometer or Fortessa FACS machines for analysis. Data were analyzed using FlowJo software v8.8.2 (Tree Star, Ashland, OR). Antibodies were purchased from eBioscience (San Diego, CA): c-kit APC #17-1171-82, Stem cell antigen-1 (Sca) PE-Cy7 #25-5981-82, Myeloid differentiation antigen (Gr1) APC-Cy7 #47-5931-82, Macrophage-1 antigen (Mac1) APC-Cy7 #47-0112-82, B220 APC-Cy7 #47-0452-82, CD4 APC-Cy7 #47-0042-82, CD8 APC-Cy7 #47-0081-82.

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.
