Single cell suspensions were prepared from both the thymus and spleen of two mice. Red blood cells were removed with RBC lysing solution (1 mM KHCO3, 0.15 M NH4Cl, and 0.1 mM Na2EDTA). Cells were washed twice and resuspended in a master-mix of staining buffer containing optimal concentrations of monoclonal antibody reagents. Samples were analyzed on a FACS LSR II (Becton Dickinson) or sorted with a FACS Aria (Becton Dickinson). Double negative thymic cells were stained with PE-Cy7- CD25 (BD Cat#552880), APC- CD44 (BD Cat#559250), biotinylated- CD28 (BD Cat#553296) (developed secondarily with streptavidin), and a lineage stain [PE-CD3 (BD Cat#555275), monoclonal PE-CD4 (BD Cat#553049), PE-CD8α (BD Cat#553033), PE-B220 (BD Cat#561878), PE-CD11b (BD Cat#553311), PE-NK1.1 (BD Cat#553165)] to remove mature T, B, and NK cells. Double and single positive thymic cells were stained with PE-CD3 (BD Cat#555275), FITC-CD4 (BD Cat#557307), and APC-CD8α (BD Cat#557682). Splenic cells were stained with PE-CD3 (BD Cat#555275), FITC-CD4 (BD Cat#557307), and APC-CD8α (BD Cat#557682). All subsets were also stained with propidium iodide (PI) to exclude dead cells.

Mice 8–12 weeks of age were immunized intraperitoneally with 100 μg of ovalbumin protein. Spleens were removed 7 days later and stained with monoclonal APC-CD8α (BD Cat#557682) and PE-OVA(257–264) peptide-H-2K(b) (NIH Tetramer Core) and analyzed on a FACS LSR II (Becton Dickinson).

Anti-STAT1 antibody (E-23) and anti-STAT2 (07-140) antibody were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnologies (Santa Cruz, CA) and Millipore (Billerica, MA), respectively. Anti-STAT2 antibody for immunofluorescence analysis was provided by Dr. Christian Schindler. Anti-STAT3 antibody was provided by Dr. Andrew Larner (Virginia Commonwealth University). Anti-pY701-STAT1, anti-mouse CD16/CD32 (clone 2.4G2), anti-CD3-FITC (Clone: 17A2), CD8α-APC (Clone: 53-6.7), CD4-PE-Cy7 (Clone: RM4-5), B220-PE (Clone: RA3-6B2), Vβ13-FITC (clone: MR12-3) and CD25-Percp-Cy5.5 (Clone: P61) were purchased from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA). Anti-pY705-STAT3 antibody and anti-Actin antibody were purchased from Cell Signaling (Danvers, MA) and Abcam (Cambridge, MA), respectively. HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA). FITC-anti-Rabbit IgG antibody and PE-anti-Mouse IgG (Biolegend; San Diego, CA) were used for immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry analysis. Foxp3-PE (Clone: FJk-16s) was purchased from eBioscience (San Diego, CA). Recombinant murine IFN-β was provided by Biogen-Idec.

Isolation and Analysis of Tumor-Infiltrating Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumors excised on day 26 after injection were homogenized using pestle motor and treated with collagenase type IV (1 mg/mL) and DNase I (100 U/mL) in serum-free RPMI for 30 min at 37 °C with gentle shaking. The cell suspension was passed through a cell strainer (70 µm) and washed with FACS buffer twice. Cells were then incubated with CD16/32 blocking antibody at 1:20 dilution for 10 min and then stained with antibodies for 30 min at room temperature against CD8, CD4, and NK cells. For the staining of CD8 T-cells, CD45-FITC (eBiosciene), H-2Kb OVA tetramer-SIINFEKL-PE (MBL International), CD8α-APC (BD Bioscience), and CD3-PE-CY7 (Biolegend) were used. For CD4 T-cells, CD45-FITC (eBiosciene), CD4-APC (eBioscience), CD3-PE-CY7 (Biolegend) were used, and for DCs, CD45-FITC (eBiosciene), CD11c-PE (Biolegend), and CD86-PE-CY7 (BD Bioscience) were used. For NK cell staining, CD45-FITC (eBiosciene), NK1.1-PE (eBioscience), and CD3-PE-CY7 (Biolegend) were used. In all flow cytometric analyses, antibodies were used at 1:100 dilution, and only DAPI negative live cells were gated out and analyzed.

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.
