All animal studies were conducted following the guidelines approved by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Mandibles were isolated from euthanized newborn male CD1 mice. Mandibular molar tooth germs were retrieved from the surrounding tissue, rinsed by sterile phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS), and kept in 1.2 U/ml of DispaseII and incubated at 37°C for 40 minutes. After being washed in plain DMEM medium, epithelium and mesenchyme of the tooth germs were separated with fine needles. The Mesenchymal tissues were treated once with 0.25% trypsin (Sigma), 50 U/mL collagenase I and 20 U/mL DNase I for 10 minutes at 37°C; twice with 100 U/mL collagenase I (Worthington) for 10 minutes at 37°C; and once with 0.25% trypsin and 20 U/mL DNase I for 5 minutes at 37°C. The dissociated cells were plated in 6‐well cell culture plates after washed in complete DMEM, and then incubated for 24 hours at 37°C. Adherent cells were used as TGMCs. Aliquots were kept in a liquid nitrogen tank. All TGMCs used in this study were within 5 passages.

Subcutaneous, orthotopic or MMTV-PyMT tumours were excised, cut in small pieces, treated with 10 U ml−1 collagenase I, 400 U ml−1 collagenase IV and 30 U ml−1 DNaseI (Worthington) for 30 min at 37 °C, squashed and filtered. Red blood cells were removed using erythrocyte lysis buffer and density gradients (Axis-Shield) were used to remove debris and dead cells.
Tumour-draining LNs were cut, dissociated with 10 U ml−1 collagenase I, 400 U ml−1 collagenase IV and 30 U mL−1 DNaseI (Worthington) for 45 min at 37 °C and filtered.
Spleens were flushed with 200 U ml−1 collagenase III (Worthington) and left for 30 min at 37 °C. Afterwards, spleens were filtered and red blood cells were removed using erythrocyte lysis buffer.
To purify DC subpopulations from tumour, spleen or LNs, CD11c+ cells were MACS-enriched (anti-CD11c microbeads; Miltenyi) and sorted using BD FACSAria II (BD Biosciences) according to the gating strategy in Fig. 1a, Supplementary Fig. 6A or Supplementary Fig. 8A, respectively.
Bone marrow leukocytes were isolated through flushing of tibia and femur. The obtained cell suspensions were filtered, and red blood cells were removed using erythrocyte lysis buffer. To purify bone marrow monocytes, CD11b+ cells were MACS-enriched (anti-CD11b microbeads; Miltenyi) before sorting.

Isolation and Dissociation of Mouse Mammary Epithelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TEB and duct isolation was performed as previously (Morris et al., 2004 (link)) with modifications. Mammary glands were collected from FVB/n mice at 5–6 weeks of age and coarsely chopped in a Petri dish using scalpel blades before incubation in digest mixture (1 mg/mL collagenase 1 [Worthington] in 10 mL of serum-free L15) at 37°C for 25 min. Following this, the tube was vigorously shaken, and the digest mix was split into two 50 mL Falcon tubes. Tubes were made up to 50 mL with serum containing L15. The tubes were then briefly centrifuged, and the pellets from each tube were combined and centrifuged again before placing onto a gridded 35 mm Petri dish (Thermo Scientific) under a dissecting microscope. Using a 10 μL pipette set to 2 μL, TEBs and ducts were gently sucked up the pipette tip and placed into serum containing L15. Within an hour, TEB and ducts were gently trypsinized to obtain single cells and stained for flow cytometry.

The lesion tissue was taken from euthanized mice, minced into small pieces, and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C with agitation in 5 ml of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with collagenase-1 (1.5 mg/ml; Worthington), DNase-1 (0.4 mg/ml; Roche), and 0.5 mM CaCl2. Digestion was stopped by adding 10 ml of PBS with 5 mM EDTA and 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA), and cell suspension was passed through a 70-μm cell strainer to obtain single cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To isolate hepatocytes and hepatic nonparenchymal cells (NPCs), livers of MCS or MCD-fed WT mice, TLR7 KO mice, and IFNAR1 KO mice were perfused (1 mL per minute) and digested with collagenase 1 (Worthington Biochemical Corporation, Lakewood, NJ) after cannulation of portal vein. Liver cell suspension was centrifuged at 50 Â g for 3 minutes. After centrifugation, the pellet representing hepatocytes was resuspended, filtered, and washed several times using Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (PAA Laboratories, Piscataway, NJ) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.), 100 nmol/L dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich), 1% insulin-transferrinselenium-X supplement (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.), 100 IU/mL of penicillin, and 100 mg/mL of streptomycin. Viability of hepatocytes was assessed using trypan blue (Sigma-Aldrich).
After centrifuging digested liver cell suspension at 50 Â g for 3 minutes, the supernatant containing hepatic NPCs was collected, washed with phosphate-buffered saline, and resuspended in 40% Percoll in RPMI 1640 media. The cell suspension was gently overlaid onto 70% Percoll and centrifuged at 750 Â g for 20 minutes with off-brake setting. NPCs were collected from the interface, washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline, and resuspended in RPMI 1640 media.

Human foreskins were obtained after prepucectomy of foreskins and approval of the protocol by the ethics committee of Army Medical University. The granulation tissues were harvested at 7 days after wounding. The isolation protocols of human fibroblasts, granulation tissue cells and neonatal ROSA26mTmG mouse fibroblasts are described previously20 (link). In Brief, skin tissues of 1-2 cm2 pieces with subcutaneous tissue removal were digested over night at 4°C in a digestion medium containing 1mg/mL dispase (Roche). Following stripping the epidermis, the dermis were cut up and incubated in the digestion medium consisting of DMEM with 0.25% collagenase I (Worthington) at 37 ℃for 1 hour with shaking. The digested cells were then passed through a 75-μm cell strainer, centrifuged, and resuspended in DMEM with 10% foetal bovine serum (Hyclone), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 0.1 mg/mL streptomycin (Beyotime).

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.
