Freshly isolated ECs were stained in FACS buffer (0.5% BSA, 2 mM EDTA in PBS). Cells were stained with CD45-APC-eFluor-780 antibodies purchased from eBioscience and with CD31 (PECAM1)-AF488 and CD102(ICAM2)-AF647 purchased from Biolegend. The stained samples were run on an LSRFortessa cell analyser, and the results were analysed using FlowJo software (TreeStar). Whole blood was obtained by cardiac puncture. To prevent coagulation, whole blood was collected in 3.8% sodium citrate. For the detection of free parasites, whole blood was diluted in PBS and immediately subjected to analysis on the LSRFortessa cell analyser. Free parasites were identified by their size and expression of tdTomato. The gate for free parasite was drawn on freshly isolated tachyzoites from cell culture. Amnis ImageStream was used to visualize infected cells in the blood. White blood cells were purified using whole blood from infected mice, which was layered on top of Lympholyte (Cedarlane) and centrifuged at room temperature. The mononuclear preparation was removed and washed in FACS buffer. Cells were then stained in FACS buffer with CD11b-APC-e780, CD11c-APC and Gr1-PE-Cy7 from eBioscience and CD3-FITC from BD Biosciences. The stained samples were then used for analysis.

One day after the last exposure to PM, BALF cells were obtained with three 0.4 ml PBS washes injected into the lungs and then withdrawn to collect the cells. The total number of BALF cells were counted, and then the remaining BALF cells were centrifuged at 400 g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was stored at - 80 °C and used for analysis of cytokines. The cell pellet was suspended in 200 μl PBS and stained with Gr-1 (PE-Cy7, cat. 25-5931-81, eBioscience), CD11b (BV421, cat. 101236, Biolegend), Annexin V (MultiSciences, Hangzhou, China), and PI (MultiSciences, Hangzhou, China) for 30 minutes at 4 °C. Bcl-2 antibody was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, US). Data were acquired with a FACScalibur flow cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo software (version 7.6, San Carlos, CA)

Bone marrow was flushed out of femurs and tibias of Mpzl3 −/− or +/+ littermates (6 weeks old). The bone marrow was labeled using biotinylated antibodies against CD3, CD4, CD8 and B220 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Streptavidin-labeled microbeads were then used to magnetically deplete the biotinylated lymphocytes using autoMACS (Milteyni Biotec, Inc., Auburn, CA). 3 × 106 bone marrow cells after depletion were injected intraperitoneally into 2-day old B6 Rag −/− mice (The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME). After 10 weeks, the inguinal lymph nodes and spleens of these mice were analyzed by flow cytometry, and skin analyzed by histology. For flow cytometry, 3 × 106 cells were blocked using a cocktail of anti-CD16/32 (2.4G2) and normal mouse sera (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA) before being stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies to determine their phenotype and activation status. The following antibody conjugates were used: CD11b PE-TR (Life Technologies Corp.), CD4 V500 (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA), CD11c FITC, Gr-1 PECy7, CD3 Alexa Fluor 700, CD8 efluor605, B220 PerCpCy5.5, CD44 efluor450, CD62L APC, CD69 PE (eBioscience).

Characterizing Melittin Binding to Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rhodamine-conjugated melittin peptides were purchased from GenScript (Piscataway, NJ, USA). Splenocytes were seeded in a 6-well culture plate with 0.5 μg/ml of rhodamine-conjugated melittin. An hour later, cells were harvested and unbound peptides were washed off twice. Cells were stained with APC-conjugated antibodies for an hour at 4 °C to confirm the binding of melittin to CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and CD11b+ monocytes.
To verify whether the binding of melittin to CD11b+ cells is related to phagocytosis, splenocytes were pretreated with 10 nM cytochalasin D or vehicle (DMSO) for an hour in a 37 °C incubator. Next, the cells were incubated with the rhodamine-conjugated peptides and stained with CD11b-APC antibody as described above.
To observe the binding of melittin on CD11b+ subsets in splenocytes, macrophage, dendritic cells, and neutrophils were probed with anti-mouse F4/80-FITC, CD11c-APCcy7, and Gr1-PEcy7 (e-bioscience). Annexin-V was added to the samples prior to data acquisition to discriminate dead cells. M1 of M2 macrophages were stained with CD86-PEcy7 (e-bioscience) or CD206-PercpCy5.5 (Biolegend). Cells were detected on a FACSCalibur or FACSCantoII.

The BAL fluid cell suspensions were obtained from either mice or in vitor cell culture medium (RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS, Thermo Fisher Scientific) at specific time points. The expression of cell surface markers was assessed by incubating the samples with fluorescent dye-conjugated mouse antibodies against Gr-1 (Pe-Cy7) and SiglecF (PE) (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) for 30 min at 4 °C. Based on the surface marker staining, the suspensions were incubated with Annexin V (FITC) and propidium iodide (PI) (MultiSciences, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China) to assess BAL fluid cell apoptosis. The data were acquired using a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (FC500) (BD Biosciences, Sparks, MD, USA) and analyzed using FlowJo software ver. 7.6 (Tree Star, San Carlos, CA, 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.
