Whole blood was collected from one healthy volunteer using Vacuette Safety G21 and lithium heparin‐coated Vacuette tubes (both Greiner Bio One International GmbH). Isolation of primary PMNs was executed as described by Oh et al. (2008 (link)). Briefly, 5 ml of whole blood was carefully overlaid onto 5 ml Lympholyte‐poly cell separation media (Cedarlane) and centrifuged at 2,000 revolutions per minute and 20°C for 35 min. While the upper three of the six resulting layers were disposed, the layers containing PMNs and separation media were collected and washed with Hank's Balanced Salt solution (HBSS; Gibco™). After centrifugation for 10 min, supernatants were removed and the pellet was resuspended with 2 ml Red Blood Cell Lysis buffer (Santa Cruz). Subsequently, cells were centrifuged for 5 min and the lysing process was repeated. The supernatants were discarded, and the pellet was resuspended with 10 ml HBSS and centrifuged for 5 min, followed by resuspension of the PMNs pellet with HBSS containing Ca2+ and Mg2+. After confirmation of PMNs purity by flow cytometry analysis of surface markers CD16 (eBioCB16 (CB16); FITC, eBioscience) and CD62L (MEL‐14; FITC, eBioscience™), cells were immediately used for experiments.

The KPC1242 cell line, derived from a spontaneous pancreatic tumor that arose in a KPC mouse, was a generous gift of David Tuveson (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, Cold Spring, New York). 1×106 KPC1242 tumor cells were injected orthotopically into the pancreas as previously described (26 (link)). 15 days later, mice were euthanized, tumor weight was measured, and T cells in the spleen, ascites and tumor were analyzed. Spleens and tumors were mashed through a 70 μm strainer by a syringe plunger in RPMI with 10% FBS. Spleens were than treated with ACK lysis buffer to remove red blood cells. Splenocytes, ascites and tumor cells were stained with a viability dye, antibodies against CD4, CD8α, CD62L (MEL-14), CD44 (IM7), and CD25 (PC61.5, eBioscience, San Diego, CA), and analyzed by flow cytometry. Additionally, an aliquot of 4×106 splenocytes was stained for Foxp3 expression using methods and reagents provided by the manufacturer (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), prior to flow cytometric analyses.

Single-cell suspensions of spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes or a pool of subcutaneous lymph nodes (Lnn. mandibularis, Lnn. cervicales superficiales, Lnn. axillares et cubiti, Lnn. inguinales superficiales, and Lnn. subiliaci) were prepared using 70 μm cell strainers (BD Biosciences). Bone marrow cells were harvested from femurs and tibias by flushing the cavities of intact bones with flow cytometry buffer (Hank's buffered salt solution, supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum and 10 mM HEPES), followed by filtration through 70 μm cell strainers.

Monoclonal antibodies to CD4 (RM4-5, GK1.5), CD8 (53–6.7), CD19 (1D3), CD25 (PC61, 7D4), CD69 (H1.2F3), CXCR4 (2B11), CCR7 (4B12), CCR9 (CW-1.2), CD62L (MEL-14), and CD44 (IM 7) and PE- and PE-Cy7-conjugated streptavidin were obtained from ThermoFisher (eBioscience) or BD Biosciences. Before flow cytometry, for some experiments, CD4+ or CD25+ cells were enriched from single-cell suspensions using biotinylated antibodies directed against CD4 or CD25, respectively, streptavidin-conjugated microbeads, and the AutoMACS magnetic cell separation system (Miltenyi Biotec). Samples were analyzed on an LSRII or LSR Fortessa system (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star).

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.
