Spleens or lymph nodes were crushed into single cell suspensions in cold 1x PBS. Bone marrow cells were harvested from femurs by flushing with 1x PBS. Cells were washed and red blood cells (RBCs) lysed with 0.165M NH4Cl. 106 cells per sample were labeled with a live/dead dye and Fc receptors blocked with 2.4G2 before Ab staining. Lymphocytes and monocytes were identified by forward and side-scatter profiles. GC B cells were identified as CD19+ GL7+ FAS+; Tfh cells as CD4+ PD-1+ CXCR5+; ASCs as CD138+ B220lo/neg; DCs as CD11chi CD19 CD3 CD49b Ter119 and CD8α+ or CD8α; pDCs as CD11c+ CD19 CD3 CD49b Ter119 CD45RA+; eosinophils as Siglec-F+ CD11bint. For intracellular cytokine analysis, cells were fixed and permeabilized (BD Biosciences) overnight at 4°C before staining. For intracellular IL-12, cells were incubated for 3 hours at 37°C with 3 ug/ml Brefeldin A before fixing. For chemokine receptor analysis, cells were labeled in azide-free buffer at 37°C, then washed in normal buffer on ice to halt recycling. Data for DC analyses were collected on a Becton Dickinson LSR II and analyzed with FlowJo. All other samples were run on a Beckman Coulter CyAn ADP and analyzed with Dako Summit.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Popliteal lymph nodes (PLNs) or footpad lesions (FLs) were harvested from infected mice at the peak of infection. A single-cell suspension was prepared from FLs and PLNs with or without collagenase and DNaseI treatment, respectively. Cells isolated from PLNs were counted before PMA and ionomycin in vitro stimulation. Extracellular staining was performed using anti-mouse CD4 and CD8 antibodies. Cells were intracellularly stained for IFN-γ and IL-4 cytokines using an intracellular fixation and permeabilization buffer set, following the manufacturer’s instructions (eBioscience). Cells isolated from FLs were fixed and permeabilized as described before (Krutzik and Nolan, 2003 (link)), and subsequently stained with CD45, CD11b, CD11c, F4/80, and p-Akt (T308) antibodies. Samples were acquired in BD FACSVerse or LSR II flow cytometry and were analyzed using FlowJo software. Details are given in the Supplemental Experimental Procedures.

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.
