The spleen and thymus were isolated. Each organ was placed inside a 100 μm cell strainer on top a 50 mL conical tube. Using the plunger end of a 5 mL syringe the tissues were pulverized. The cells were collected in the 50 mL tube by rinsing the plunger and strainer with 10 mL of HBSS containing 3% fetal calf serum. The cells were pelleted by centrifugation and any contaminating red blood cells were lysed and removed by additional centrifugation. Between 4 × 105 and 1 × 106 viable cells were used for staining with each antibody cocktail.
The femora and tibiae from both sides of the mouse were isolated, opened at both ends and flushed with PBS using a 27G needle attached to 1 cc syringe. The eluent was collected in a 50 mL conical tube. The cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 500 ×g for 10 min at 4 °C and any contaminating red blood cells were lysed using 1X RBC Lysis (eBioscience, Catalog #00433357) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and removed by additional centrifugation. Between 105 and 1 × 106 viable bone marrow cells were used for staining with each antibody cocktail (Supplementary table 1).
All antibodies used in flow cytometry analysis were purchased from BD Bioscience pre-conjugated with the fluorophore.

Six- to seven-week-old WT or Il1a/ recipient mice were irradiated at a lethal, single dose of 850 cGy (X-rad 320). Donor bone marrow cells were isolated from hind leg femurs and tibias of WT or Il1a/ mice. Cells were treated with 1× RBC lysis (eBioscience) for 2 min and then washed with sterile PBS. Cells were counted and resuspended at 1 × 107 cells/ml PBS. Irradiated recipient mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and transplanted with 100 μl (1 × 106 cells) of bone marrow donor cells by retro-orbital injection. Transplanted mice were kept on an antibiotic chow diet (UNI-PRIM) for 3 wk before returning to regular chow for 1–2 wk before infection.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Competitive repopulation assays were performed as described previously [26 (link), 27 (link)]. Specifically, for first transplantation, the cells (1 × 106 BMCs) were harvested from the donor Ly5.1 mice and then mixed with 2 × 105 competitive BMCs from Ly5.2 mice. The mixed cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated (9.5 Gy TBI) Ly5.2 recipient mice though lateral canthus vein injection. For second transplantation, CD45.2 cells (1 × 106 BMCs) sorted from 1st transplantation recipient mice accompany with 2 × 105 competitive BMCs from Ly5.2 mice were transplanted into lethally irradiated (9.5 Gy) Ly5.2 s recipient mice. To analyze the donor cells engraftment, peripheral blood was harvested at 8 and 16 weeks after first transplantation and 16 weeks after second transplantation. The red blood cells were lysed by 1 × RBC lysis (eBioscience Inc. San Diego, CA, USA), and the blood samples were stained with anti-CD45.1-FITC, anti-CD45.2-PE, anti-CD3-APC, anti-B220-PerCP, and anti-Gr-1 and CD11b-PE/Cy7 and were analyzed by BD FACS AriaIII.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To ablate endogenous BM, WT B6 mice were irradiated to 9 Gy using an X-RAD 320 (Precision X-Ray). After a 6-hour rest period, mice were transplanted with 4 × 106 donor BM cells via i.v. tail vein injection. BM cells were flushed from the femurs of donor WT B6 or IL-12Rb2–KO mice. Marrow was subjected to RBC lysis (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and filtered (30 μM). For BM mixing studies, untouched WT BM CD3+ cells were isolated from WT B6 donor marrow with the EasySep Mouse T cell Isolation Kit (Stemcell) from Stemcell used per manufacturer recommendations. Untouched IL-12Rb2–KO CD3 cells were isolated from IL-12Rb2–KO donor marrow by using positive selection to remove CD3+ cells with a PE-conjugated CD3 primary antibody (BioLegend), followed by positive selection of PE-labeled cells with the EasySep Mouse PE Positive Selection Kit II (Stemcell Technologies) used per manufacturer recommendations. Transplanted mixed BM consisted of 10% CD3+ and 90% CD3 cells. Mice were allowed 3 weeks to engraft new marrow before being transplanted with MOC22 cells and used to in vivo studies.

Single-cell suspensions were prepared from isolated tumors and spleens. Spleens were mechanically disrupted, re-suspended in 1% FBS/PBS and processed following RBC lysis (#00-4300-54, Thermo Fisher). For isolation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor tissue was minced into 1 to 2 mm pieces and digested with collagenase IV (1.25mg/mL; #LS004188, Worthington), 0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor (#T9128, Sigma), hyaluronidase (1mg/mL; #LS002592, Worthington) and DNase I (100 mg/mL; #LS002007, Worthington) in DMEM for 30 min at 37°C. Cell suspensions were passed through a 70μm cell strainer (Falcon) and resuspended in 2% FBS DMEM media. Lymphocytes were isolated from processed tumor tissues by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. For some experiments, isolation of total CD45+ leukocytes by magnetic-activated cell sorting (#130-052-301, MACS Miltenyi Biotec) was performed on the leukocyte-enriched fraction according to manufacturer’s protocol, with purity of >90% achieved. Cells were collected in complete RPMI media containing 10% FCS with 1% PS.

Mononuclear cells were obtained from wild-type bone marrow cells after RBC lysis (eBioscience). Cells were resuspended in serum-free RPMI 1640 medium; 1 × 106 cells were then seeded in each well of a 12-well plate. Cells were treated with anti–mouse IL-6 antibody (BE0046, InVivoMAb) or mouse gp130 Fc chimera for 1 hour under culture condition. Mouse IgG1 isotype control and control Fc fusion protein (Enzo Life Sciences) were used as negative controls for anti–mouse IL-6 antibody and mouse gp130 Fc chimera, respectively. Cells were challenged with mouse recombinant IL-6 at a final concentration of 10 ng/mL for 15 minutes and then harvested with RIPA buffer for Western blot analyses.

The single-cell preparations were resuspended in FACS buffer containing 10 µg/mL Fc receptor block and incubated for 15 min. For dendritic cell (DC), macrophages and B cell analysis, lymph node and splenocytes were stained with antibodies against the following multiple surface antigens: anti-CD11c, anti-MHC-II, F4/80, CD11b and CD19. For T cells, natural killer (NK) and natural killer T cell (NKT) cell analysis, cells were stained with anti CD3, anti CD4, anti CD8, anti NK1.1 and anti NKp46 antibodies.

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.
