On day 18 post-immunization, eyes and cervical draining lymph nodes of EAU mice (each group, n=3) were collected, and cell suspensions were prepared. The cells were surface stained with anti-CD4 antibody (BioLegend) for 30 min at 4°C. After fixation and permeabilization, the cells were stained with an anti-Foxp3 antibody (BioLegend) to detect Foxp3+ cells. For intracellular staining of interferon (IFN) -γ and interleukin (IL)-17, cells were were pretreated for 4 to 6 h with 50 ng/ml photoblog 12-myristate 13w-acetate, 1μg/ml ionomycin, and 1μg/ml brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich), and then incubated with antibodies against IFN-γ and IL-17 (BioLegend) after fixation and overnight permeabilization. Data collection was performed on a FACS Calibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, USA), and analyzed using flow cytometry software (FlowJo, USA).

Paraffin embedded tissues were analyzed using immunohistochemical staining [49 (link)] with the following primary antibodies: anti-CD68 antibody (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA), anti-α-SMA antibody (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA), anti-CCL7 antibody (Gen Way Biotech, San Diego, CA), anti-COL3A1 antibody (Bioss, Beijing, China), anti-FOXP3 antibody (Biolegend, San Diego, CA) and rabbit anti-Mouse CD68 antibody (Bioss, Beijing, China). For quantification of tumor stromal cells within the tumor area, CD68 was used as a pan-macrophage marker, α-SMA was used to detect cancer activated fibroblasts adjacent to RCC cells [50 (link)], FOXP3 was used as a specific marker for regulatory T cells (Tregs) [22 (link)], and mast cells were assessed using the routine toluidine blue staining method [21 (link)]. Each tumor section was evaluated by using 20× objective lens, and five independent areas with the most abundant positive cells were selected, digitally photographed, and manually counted under a microscope. The average positive cell counts for each patient were used for statistical analysis. For quantification of CD68+ cells in CDX xenografts, four sections from each xenograft were randomly selected and quantified as described above, the average positive cells for each mouse were used for statistical analysis. Results were confirmed by two pathologists in a double-blind analysis.

Lung, spleen, and tracheobronchial lymph nodes (TBLN) were isolated at necropsy. Lungs were minced and incubated in the presence of collagenase D for 1h. Digested tissues were mechanically disrupted by passage through a 70 μm filter. Single cell suspensions from this process were layered over a ficoll gradient and centrifuged to recover live cells. TBLN and spleen were mechanically disrupted and RBC lysed using ACK. To identify Tregs, cells were stained with anti-CD4 antibody (Clone L200, BD Bioscience). Following washing cells were permeabilized using BioLegend FOXP3 Fix/Perm and FOXP3 Perm buffer (BioLegend) followed by incubation with anti-FoxP3 antibody (Clone 206D, BioLegend). Samples were acquired on a BD FacsCanto II and analyzed with Diva software (Becton Dickinson).

TC-1-GSDMD-NT cells on the slides were collected and treated with 4% paraformaldehyde containing 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 min, followed by three washes with PBS. Then, the cells were blocked with 2% BSA in PBS for 1 h and incubated with rabbit polyclonal anti-GSDMD antibody (Affinity, AF4012; 1:100 in 2% BSA) for 2 h at RT, followed by three washes with PBS. Next, the samples were incubated with FITC-conjugated secondary antibody (1:2,000 in 1% BSA, Proteintech) for 2 h at RT. After washing five times with PBS, the nuclei were stained with DAPI (ab104139, Abcam) for 10 min. All of the samples were examined by confocal microscopy. Tumor tissues were collected and fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned. After deparaffinization and hydration, the slides were immersed in EDTA antigen retrieval buffer. Then, the slides were incubated with anti-CD4 antibody (Biolegend) and anti-Foxp3 antibody (Biolegend) or rabbit polyclonal anti-GSDMD antibody (Affinity, AF4012, 1:100) overnight at 4 °C. Next, Cy3-conjugated secondary antibody (Servicebio, GB21303; 1:2,000 in 2% BSA) was added, followed by incubation at room temperature for 1 h. Then, the slides were incubated with DAPI (ab104139, Abcam) at RT for 10 min. All of the sections were examined by fluorescence microscopy.

The spleen and lymph node (LN) of treated mice were collected and suspended as single cells with red blood cell lysis buffer. Colorectal tissues from treated mice were collected and suspended as single cells with collagenase IV. Cells were extracellularly stained with anti‐CD3, anti‐CD4, anti‐CD25, anti‐F4/80, anti‐CD11b, anti‐CD80 and anti‐CD206 antibodies. Subsequently, the cells were fixed and permeabilized with Perm/Fix solution (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) for 30 min. at 4°C. Finally, the cells were intracellularly stained with anti‐Foxp3 antibody (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA) at 4°C for 30 min. in the dark. Directly conjugated, isotype‐matched, rat antimouse Abs (Biolegend) served as controls. After washed with PBS twice, the pellet was resuspended in 400 μl PBS and analysed by the Calibur flow cytometer (BD).

On day 7 after the last immunization, mice were intranasally challenged with 1 × 108 CFU of pneumococcal strain 19F. Mice were sacrificed and lung tissues were removed at 6, 12, and 24 h post-infection. After fixation in buffered 10% formalin, lungs were sectioned and embedded in paraffin, and 5-µm sections were cut. The sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (Sigma-Aldrich) and then examined using a light microscope. The degrees of peribronchial inflammation were graded semi-quantitatively following previously described methods (22 (link)).
For immunohistochemistry, sections were retrieved in citrate buffer for 5 min. After natural cooling, sections were incubated with 3% H2O2 and washed three times with PBS, followed by incubation with an anti-FOXP3 antibody (BioLegend) and Rabbit anti-TGF-β1 polyclonal antibody (OmnimAbs, Alhambra, CA, USA) and treatment with streptavidin horseradish peroxidase chemistry according to standard protocols. The mean IODs (integral optical density) of TGF-β1 expression were measured using Image-Pro Plus (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD, USA).

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.
