Fresh tumor samples were obtained soon after sacrificed of the animals. Tumors were minced and digested with a combination of collagenase I (Sangon,China) and DNase I (Sangon, China). PBMCs were derived from patients with Ficoll (GE Healthcare, USA). The cells were stimulated, stained with membrane markers and applied to MACS column for further analysis.

Tissue was surgically minced on a laboratory sterile table, and tissue fragments were preserved in MACS tissue storage until processing.
The tissue samples were processed as described below. Briefly, samples were first washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), minced into small pieces (approximately 1 mm3) on ice, and enzymatically digested with 500 U/ml collagenase I (SangonBiotech), 150 U/ml collagenase II (SangonBiotech), 50 U/ml collagenase IV (SangonBiotech), 0.1 mg/ml hyaluronidase (SangonBiotech), 30 U/ml DNaseI (SangonBiotech), and 5% Fetal Bovine Serum Origin South America (Yeasen) for 60 min at 37°C, with agitation. After digestion, samples were sieved through a 70 μm cell strainer, and centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min. After washing with PBS containing 0.04% BSA, the cell pellets were re-suspended in PBS containing 0.04% BSA and re-filtered through a 35 μm cell strainer. Dissociated single cells were then stained for viability assessment using Calcein-AM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Draq7 (BD Biosciences). The single-cell suspension was further enriched with a MACS dead cell removal kit (Miltenyi Biotec).

The cells were digested by pancreatin (C125C1, NCM Biotech, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China,) and incubated with PD‐L1‐Alexa Fluor 647 (1:100; ab209960; Abcam, Cambridge, UK,) and the control were incubated with isotype (1:100; ab199093; Abcam) at 4°C for 30 min. After incubation, the cells were washed twice and suspended in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS). The cells were analyzed by Flow Cytometry (BD Bioscience).
The mouse lung tissues were digested with collagenase I (A004194, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China). Cells were stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies. Then cells were analyzed by Flow Cytometry (BD Bioscience), and the data were analyzed using the FlowJo10 software (BD Bioscienc). The following antibodies were used: anti‐CD45 PE/Cy7‐conjugated (1;100;103113;BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), anti‐CD3ε PerCP/Cy5.5‐conjugated (1:100;100327; BioLegend), anti‐PD‐1‐APC‐conjugated (1:100; 135209; BioLegend).

Single-Cell Tumor Isolation and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fresh tumor samples were obtained immediately after surgical resection, of which adipose or necrotic tissues were removed carefully. To collect single‐cell suspensions, tumors were minced and digested in RPMI‐1640 with collagenase I (Sangon; 250 U ml−1) and DNase I (Sangon; 50 U ml−1) for 3 hours at 37 C according to the instructions. Red blood cell lysis buffer was then used for removing red blood cells. After stimulation with cell stimulation cocktail (PMA and ionomycin, eBioscience) and Golgistop (BD Biosciences) for 4 hours, cells were stained with membrane markers in dark for 45 minutes at 4 C after applying Human Fc block (BD Biosciences). Cells were stained with intracellular markers after permeabilization by the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm Fixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit (BD Biosciences) or BD Pharmingen Transcription Factor Buffer Sets (BD Biosciences). Detailed information on antibodies for flow cytometry is listed in Table S1. Cells were collected and analyzed on the FACSCelesta (BD Biosciences) in 1 hour. In addition, part of the fresh tumor tissues was formalin fixed and paraffin embedded for MDK IHC staining to stratify the tumor into high/low intratumoral MDK expression groups.

Isolation of ESCs was based on the protocol in a previous report [31] . Five-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were injected subcutaneously with 100 µL of the E2 solution (100 ng/100 µL) for 3 consecutive days to stimulate the proliferation of endometrium and killed on the fourth day. The uterine horns were isolated. Uterine horns were transferred to the 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (Gibco) for 60 min at 4°C, and then incubated for 30 min at 37°C. After incubation, uteri were transfer into a petri dish containing cold DMEM/F12 medium to inactivate trypsin activity, and then vortex for 20 s to release the epithelial sheets. The uteri were transferred to 1mg/mL collagenase I (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) for 30 min at 37°C while shaking (200 rpm). After inhibiting collagenase activity, the stromal cell suspension were centrifuged at 500 x g for 7 min. Cells were re-suspended in DMEM/F-12 with 10% FBS and 1% P/S and then plated on culture dish maintained at 37°C with 5% CO 2 . The non-adherent cells were removed after 6 h of culture.
The medium was changed every other day and passage was conducted when cells reached con uence (80-100%).

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.
