Intraluminal cells were isolated from cecal samples of C. rodentium infected and uninfected mice. The Luminal content was filtrated sequentially through 100μm, 70μm, and 40μm cell strainer and then centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 15 sec to remove debris. Cells were then used for flow cytometry. Cell surface fluorescence was assessed using a FACSCanto II and analyzed using FlowJo software (TreeStar). Dead cells were excluded with 7-AAD staining. Fluorescence-conjugated mAb against CD11b (M1/70), Ly6G (1A8), Ly6C (AL-21), CD45 (30-F11) were from eBioscience. Isotype-matched antibodies (eBioscience) were used for control staining.

In order to analyze immune cells and their anti-tumoral activity, B6 mice were challenged and swarm at TT and BT (n=9 per group) and then 3 mice of them were randomly sacrificed every wk. Primary cells were collected from lymph node (LN), draining lymph node (dLN), and spleen, and analyzed via FACS Canto II or FACS Aria I. Data were analyzed using FlowJo version 10 (TreeStar, San Carlos, CA, USA). Antibodies with the following specificities were used for staining: CD8α (53-6.7), IFNγ (XMG1.2), IL-4 (11B11), CD44 (IM7), CD62L (MEL-14), NK1.1 (PK136), TCRβ (H57-597), and γδTCR (GL3) from BioLegend (San Jose, CA, USA); CD4 (GK1.5) from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA); and IL-17 (TC11-18H10) from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA). Anti-mouse CD16/32 (2.4G2; BioLegend) blocked the non-specific binding of the antibodies. For intracellular cytokine staining, the cells were stimulated with PMA (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) and ionomycin (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA) in the presence of brefeldin A (Thermo Fisher Scientific), which were then fixed and permeabilized with an IC fixation buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Emergency granulopoiesis was analyzed according to a previous report (20 (link)). Briefly, WT, littermate WT, and FPR2 KO mice used for analysis were males from 7 to 9 weeks old. Cells were surface-stained in PEB buffer (PBS supplemented with and 2 mM EDTA and 0.5% BSA) for 30–45 min on ice. Antibodies used for flow cytometry included the following: Percp-Cy5.5-conjugated lineage markers specific for CD3e (Clone: 145-2C110), CD4 (Clone: RM4-5), CD8a (Clone: 53-6.7), CD11b (Clone: M1/70), B220 (Clone: RA3-6B2), GR-1 (Clone: RB6-8C5), and Ter119 (Clone: Ter119) from Thermo Fisher scientific (Waltham, MA, USA) or BioLegend (San Diego, CA, USA).

Neutrophils were gated by CD11b+ and Ly6G+ (Clone: 1A8). Unstained cells were used as negative controls to establish flow cytometer voltage settings and single-color positive controls were used to adjust the compensation. Flow cytometric data were acquired using FACScantoII and analyzed with Flowjo software (Tree Star Inc. Ashand, 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.
