After sacrificing the experimental mice at 72 hours after ICH, brain peri-hematoma tissue was harvested and suspended in RPMI-1640 medium. The tissue was then digested in a shaker at 37°C, rotating at 950 × g, for 5 minutes with the addition of type IV collagenase (1 mg/mL) and DNase I (50 mg/mL). Cell supernatants were then removed, resuspended, isolated by centrifugation, and washed with RPMI-1640 prior to flow cytometry. The final cell amount was equivalent in both groups, with a concentration of 2 × 106/mL. Cells from brain peri-hematoma tissue were incubated with fluorescence-labeled antibodies against the surface markers IL-17–APC-Cy7 (Cat. No. 560821; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and TCR γδ–FITC (Cat. No. 559501; BD Biosciences). Incubations were carried out according to the manufacturer’s protocols, at 4°C for 40 minutes in the dark.
In addition, TCR γδ cells were isolated from circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells of C57BL/6 mice. After cell suspension of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, TCR γδ–FITC antibody was added to the suspension and incubated in the dark for 40 minutes. The infiltration of the fluorescence-labeled suspension was then tested. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis was performed using a CytoFLEX flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA), and data were analyzed using FlowJo software 7.6.1 (FlowJo LLC, Ashland, OR, 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.
