Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The purity of the BMM population was determined via flow cytometry analysis. 1x106 cells were taken from the freshly harvested BMMs, processed and stained with the required antibodies according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that specifically recognize proteins expressed by macrophages were used for phenotypical characterization. The used two-color panel included two surface antigens, F4/80 (1:100, Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) and CD11b (1:100, Miltenyi Biotec, Germany). In this two-color immunofluorescence protocol, the samples were single stained with each antibody, and then stained using both antibodies. Data were acquired with a MACS-Quant device (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) using the MACSQUANTIFY™ software (Figure 1A).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single-cell suspensions of lungs were prepared from mice as previously described (22 (link)). To reduce non-specific antibody binding, cells were incubated with a Fc receptor block (BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA, USA). Then lung single-cell suspensions were stained with antibodies to CD45 (BD Pharmingen), F4/80 (Miltenyi Biotech, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany), CD11c (BD Pharmingen), CD137 (eBioscience™, San Diego, CA, USA), CD137L (eBioscience™), CD4 (BD Pharmingen), CD44 (BD Pharmingen), and CD62L (BD Pharmingen). For MH-S cells, the cell surface was stained by CD137 or CD137L antibodies after Fc blocking. Isotype-matched mAb were used as negative controls. A FACS Canto II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and FlowJo V10 software were used to analyze the expression of 4-1BB on lung cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6 mice were injected i.d. with 100 µg FITC-labelled AntpMAPMUC1tetFITC or PBS in footpads for 18 h. Popliteal lymph nodes cells were isolated and pooled from mice (n = 3) and cells labelled with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD3, anti-CD19, anti-CD11c and anti-F4/80 (BD Pharmingen) to separate T cells, B cells, CD11chi DC and F4/80hi macrophages respectively [45 (link),48 (link)].
To assess binding of DC subsets popliteal lymph nodes were pooled (n = 4) and resuspended in free balanced salt solution (BSS) with 0.1 M EDTA (pH 7.2) to dissociate T cells from DCs and incubated with CD11c microbeads (10 µL beads/107 cells) (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) for 30 min at 4 °C. Cells were washed and resuspended in BSS and passed through AutoMACS columns (Miltenyi Biotech, Germany). Purity of cells (CD11c+) was >90%.
To differentiate DC subpopulations, cells were stained with biotin-labelled anti-DEC205 and streptavidinPE-Cy7 and anti-CD8-PE together with anti-CD11cAPC and analysed for FITC expression. Three major subsets in the popliteal lymph nodes subsets were identified: CD8 DEC205 (immature), CD8+ DEC205 (immature) and CD8low DEC205+ DCs (migratory) [46 (link)].

Tumors were disaggregated and digested in collagenase D and DNase for 30 min at 37°C to obtain a single-cell suspension. After neutralizing unspecific binding with a CD16/CD32 antibody (clone 93), single-cell suspensions were stained with fixable Live/Dead staining (Life Technologies), followed by incubation with specific monoclonal antibodies diluted 1:100 (primary antibodies directly conjugated) to assess the phenotype.

For flow gating, we used isotype controls of fluorescence minus one control. All the antibodies were purchased from Miltenyi Biotec or Biolegend. Samples were acquired on a BD Canto-II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (TreeStar, Ashland, OR). The respective RRID of each reagent is listed in the key resources table.

Culture of mice BMDMs was performed as previously described [67 (link)]. Briefly, both femurs and tibias of mice were collected and washed in sterile PBS. Both ends of femurs and tibias were removed, and bone marrow cavities were flushed with RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, Big Cabin, OK, USA). Cell suspension was centrifuged at 200× g for 6 min at room temperature (RT). Afterward, cells were collected and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS, 20% supernatants of L929 mouse fibroblasts as conditioned medium providing macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). The medium was replenished every 2–3 days. Cells were collected as BMDMs on day 6, stained with antibodies of CD11b (Miltenyi, 130113806, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and F4/80 (Miltenyi, 130117509, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany), and analyzed through flow cytometry (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA).
For induction of polarization, BMDMs (1 × 106) were stimulated with either 1 μg/mL LPS or 20 ng/mL IL-4 for 48 h in the presence or absence of MSCs-CM (from 2 × 105 MSCs). BMDMs were then collected, stained with antibodies of CD206 (Biolegend, cat no: 141712, San Diego, CA, USA) and CD80 (Miltenyi, cat no: 130102883, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany), and analyzed through flow cytometry.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were used for histology and immunohistochemistry. Two pathologists, blinded to experimental group, evaluated sections for pathology and inflammation. Inflammation was scored on a 0–4 scale (0, normal mucosa; 1, minimal inflammation (occasional scattered granulocytes and leukocytes); 2, mild inflammation (scattered granulocytes with occasional infiltrates); 3, moderate inflammation (scattered granulocytes with patchy infiltrates); and 4, severe inflammation (multiple extensive areas with abundant granulocytes and marked infiltrates), as previously described (9 (link)).
Immunohistochemistry was performed in EDTA antigen retrieval buffer, as previously described (6 ), using antibodies against CD11b (Abcam), F4/80 (Abcam), and Ly6G (Novus Biologicals). DAB-positive cells in tumor-positive fields of view were acquired at 10X magnification and quantified using Viziopharm acquisition and analysis software (Hoersholm, Denmark), and expressed as the number of positive cells in each histologically defined area. Single cell suspensions were generated from spleen and cervical lymph nodes from tumor-bearing mice for flow cytometry. Cells were stained according to manufacturer’s protocol against CD11b-APC, Ly6C-FITC, Ly6G-Pacific Blue, and F4/80-PE with at least 10,000 events analyzed by Miltenyi MACSQuant cytometer and software.

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.
