Total cellularity of thymus, spleen, bone marrow and the distribution of the various T and B cell subsets were analyzed in 8-12 week-old ΔRag1 mice and Rag1 H836Q mice. Both groups were compared to age-matched wild type (wt) and Rag1 −/− mice (Jackson Laboratory) [19 (link)]. Splenocytes were stained with a T cell panel consisting of CD4-PB (Ebioscience), CD8-PE/Cy5 (BD), CD3 PE-Cy7 (Biolegend) and a B cell panel consisting of B220-APC (Biolegend), IgM-PE-cy5 (Ebioscience), CD43-PE (Ebioscience). Bone marrow cells were stained with B220-APC (Biolegend), IgM-PE-cy5 (Ebioscience), and CD43-PE (Ebioscience) antibodies. Thymocytes were stained with CD3-PE-Cy7 (Biolegend), CD4-PB (Ebioscience), CD8-PE-Cy5 (BD), CD44-FITC (BD), and CD25-PE (Ebioscience) antibodies, upon excluding B220 (Biolegend), Ter119 (Biolegend) and MAC1 (Biolegend) positive cells. FACS gating strategies are shown in Supplementary Figures S1 to S4 (S1-S4). Standard FSC/SSC live gates and FSC/SSC lymphocyte gates were used.

Mice were immunised orally with sheep red blood cells for 2 weeks and intraperitoneally with 10 μg of LPS for 3 days. Single-cell suspensions from Peyer's patches were labelled with B220-APC- (Biolegend, ref:103212), GL7-FITC- (Beckton Dikinson, ref: 561530) and Fas-PE- (Beckton Dikinson, ref: 554258) conjugated antibodies. Purification of B220+GL7+Fas+ cells was realized on a FACS ARIA III (BD). Genomic DNA was extracted, and a region corresponding to a sequence of 517 bp downstream of the JH4 segment was amplified by PCR. As a control, Igκ light-chain VJ-rearranged fragments were also amplified. Primers (detailed in the Supplementary Table 1) were coupled to 454 Sequencing adaptor sequences and PCR was performed using the program previously reported8 (link). According to the manufacturer, the resulting purified amplicons were prepared for sequencing with a GS Junior Titanium emPCR Kit (Lib-A; Roche), and the library of DNA fragments was sequenced on a 454 GS Junior instrument (Roche). Obtained sequences were aligned to the reference sequence using BWA aligner38 , and SAMtools software was used to obtain BAM files39 (link). Redundant sequences were excluded, and wig files were generated using IGV Tools40 (link) and manually analysed to determine mutation frequencies for each nucleotide in the sequence.

Sex matched mice at the age of 6–8 weeks were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation. Peritoneal cavity cells were collected by rinsing with FACS buffer (1x PBS plus 2% fetal bovine serum). Cells from the bone marrow and spleen were lysed with a red blood cell lysis buffer to remove red blood cells and filtered through a 70 μM cell strainer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ). After washing with cold 1x PBS, cells were counted by trypan blue staining. One million cells were resuspended in 100 μL FACS buffer and labeled with 1 μL antibodies of B220-APC, CD43-FITC, BP-1-PE, CD24-PerCP/Cy5.5, CD19-APC-Cy7, IgM-PE, IgD-PerCP/Cy5.5, IgM-PErCP/Cy5.5, CD93-APC, CD23-PE, CD21-FITC, CD5-PerCP (BioLegend, San Diego, CA). Cell subpopulations were analyzed on BD LSR II violet at The University of Iowa flow cytometry facility.

Fresh spleens were embedded in optimal cutting temperature (OCT; TissueTek) and frozen on dry ice. After cryostat sectioning at 6-μm, spleens were fixed with 4% PFA for 20 minutes and treated with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide for 30 minutes before blocking with an Avidin/Biotin Vector Labs Blocking Kit and 2% Fetal Bovine Serum. Primary antibody incubation included CD4-FITC (BD Biosciences), B220-APC (Biolegend), and Thy1.1-Biotin (Biolegend; clone OX-7). After primary antibody incubation, sections were washed in PBS before secondary amplification was performed using streptavidin (SA)-Rhodamine Red-X (Jackson Immuno Research Labs). For additional rounds of secondary amplification, sections were washed with PBS before incubation with biotinylated anti-SA (Vector Labs), washed, and stained again with SA-Rhodamine Red-X. The amplification process was repeated once more for a total of 3 amplifications with Rhodamine Red-X. Sections were visualized using the Zeiss Axio Observe Z1 immunofluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss, Inc.) and images were taken using an AxioCam MRm camera with a 10x objective (Carl Zeiss, Inc.). Images were prepared using Adobe Photoshop.

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.
