Bone marrow was collected by aspiration from mouse femurs and tibias and processed to generate single-cell suspensions. After red blood cell lysis, progenitors were enriched by negative selection by staining with biotinylated anti-CD4 (RM4-5; BD), anti-CD5 (53-7.3; BD), anti-CD8α (53-6.7; BD), anti-CD19 (1D3; BD), and anti-B220 (RA3-6B2; BD) followed by magnetic depletion with antibiotin microbeads (#130-090-485; Miltenyi Biotec). Enriched progenitors were plated at 5 × 105 cells/well in 24-well plates and cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS, penicillin/streptomycin, 10 mM Hepes, 2-mercaptoethanol, 10 ng/ml recombinant murine GM-CSF (Peprotech), and 5 ng/ml rmIL-4 (Peprotech). Every other day, half the medium was removed and replaced with fresh differentiation medium. After 6 d of culture, repeated pipetting was used to collect loosely adherent cells for analysis.

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.
