Murine lymphocytes: The phenotype of murine lymphocytes was analyzed by flow cytometry using anti-CD3e-FITC, anti-CD19-PB, anti-CCR7-APC, anti-CD44-FITC, anti-CD62L-APC, and anti-TCR-β-PB (Biolegend, CA, USA).
To eliminate the red blood cells, RBC lysis buffer (Beit Haemek, Israel) or BD FACS lysing solution (BD Biosciences, CA, USA) was added into murine blood and splenocyte samples. Flow cytometry was performed using the MACSQuant® Analyzer (Miltenyi Biotech, Germany), and the data were analyzed using FCS Express V3 software.
