Single cell suspensions were generated from lymph nodes of 8–10 week old mice, resuspended at 2×107 cells/ml, rested in serum free media at 37°C for 1 hour, and stimulated in 96 well V-bottom plates at 37°C with vehicle, CpG 1668 (Invivogen) or F(ab’)2 anti-mouse IgM (Jackson Immunoresearch) for the times indicated in the figure legend. Cells were fixed with pre-warmed 1% paraformaldehyde, washed, permeabilized with ice cold 100% methanol, washed, rehydrated in PBS, stained with antibodies against pERK or IκBα (Cell Signaling Technologies), washed, stained with PE-donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch) and anti-B220-APC (eBiosciences), and analyzed as described above.

ILCs and APC populations were sorted on a FACSAria and co-cultured with 5 × 103 and 2.5 × 103 cells, respectively, in 96-well round-bottom plates in tissue culture media. TLR stimulation was performed with 1 µg/ml LPS (Escherichia coli; Sigma-Aldrich), 1 µM CpG 1668 (mouse), 1 µM CpG 2216 (human), or 1 µg/ml flagellin (Salmonella Typhi; InvivoGen). Cultures were incubated for 18 h. Supernatants were harvested for ELISA and remaining cells were incubated with Golgi Plug (BD) for 4 h and subsequently analyzed by flow cytometry.

Macrophage Cytokine and Nitric Oxide Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded at 60,000 cells per well in 96-well CellBind plates (Corning) in macrophage media the day prior to stimulation. For cytokine analysis cells were stimulated with 1 µg/ml LPS (InvivoGen) or 1 uM CpG-1668 (InvivoGen, Tlrl-1668) for 16–20 hr. Cell-free supernatants were harvested and frozen at −20°C prior to analysis. For Griess assay analysis, cells were stimulated with 100 ng/ml LPS and 5 ng/ml IFNγ. After 24 hr cell-free supernatant was harvested and immediately analyzed.

Antibody Characterization and Immune Complex Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antibodies used for flow cytometry are described in Extended Experimental Procedures. Chicken ovalbumin (OVA)-alexa555, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-alexa488, BSA-TRITC, DQ Green-BSA, 70kD TRITC-conjugated dextran and carboxylate-modified 2, 0.2 or 0.02 μm beads were purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA). Endotoxin-free OVA (Hyglos) was conjugated to CpG 1668 or GpC 1668 oligonucleotides (both from Invivogen) as described in Extended Experimental Procedures. Polyclonal rabbit anti-OVA and polyclonal rabbit anti-BSA were purchased from AbD Serotec and Invitrogen respectively, and their affinity for murine FcγRs was determined with a Biacore X100 biosensor system as previously described (Kao et al., 2015 (link)), using a 1:1 Langmuir binding model as rabbits have only one IgG class (Rayner et al., 2013 (link)). Immune complexes containing OVA and BSA were prepared in vitro, as described in Extended Experimental Procedures, and analyzed by fast protein liquid chromatography using a ÄKTA FPLC system (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). Polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse serum albumin (#600-401-254), polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse transferrin (#600-401-255), polyclonal rabbit anti- mouse IgG (#610-4102) and polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse IgG F(ab′)2 (#310-4102) were purchased from Rockland Immunochemicals.

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.
