Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Competitive repopulation assays were performed by injecting 2.5×106 bone marrow cells from either experimental (Mdm2C305F/C305F) or control (Mdm2C305F/+, C57BL/6) donor animals on a CD45.2 background, along with 2.5×106 competitor cells from CD45.1 C57BL/6 mice into irradiated (900 cGy) C57BL/6 recipient mice (CD45.1) [26 (link), 27 (link)]. Peripheral blood samples were collected at 4, 8, and 12 weeks following transplant to assess for the percentage of reconstitution of peripheral blood cell lineages with CD45.2 cells, thus defining relative repopulation capacity of bone marrow harvested from our experimental versus control mouse strains in each lineage analyzed. Leukocyte subsets were assessed after RBC lysis with ammonium chloride, using the following antibodies: FITC antibodies against, B220 (RA3-6B2, BD Biosciences), TCR β (H57-597, BD Biosciences), CD45.2 (104, BD Biosciences), and CD4 (GK1.5, BD Biosciences); PE antibodies against, CD11b (M1⁄70, BD Biosciences), Gr-1 (RB6-8C5, BD Biosciences), CD8 (53–6.7, eBioscience), and CD45.1 (A20, BD Biosciences).

Cells were prepared as described in the flow cytometry section. After blocking, cells were spun and incubated with the following antibodies in 1% BSA for 30 minutes: BV786 rat anti-mouse CD45 (Catalog #: 557659, 30-F11, BD Pharmigen), eFluor®450 rat anti-mouse F4/80 (Catalog #:48-4801, BM8, eBioscience), APC rat anti-mouse CD11b (Catalog #:17-0112, M1/70, eBioscience), APC-Cy7 rat anti-mouse Gr-1 (Catalog #:557661, RB6-8C5, BD Pharmingen), and Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain (catalog no. L34957; Invitrogen). After staining for 30 minutes, cells were spun, washed with 1% BSA, and sorted using a Becton–Dickenson FACSAriaII. We sorted ~25,000 live CD11b+ and F4/80+ cells from individual animals (n=2 per group) into individual BSA coated tubes. Cells were counted and approximately 5,000 cells from each animal were subjected to 10X genomics. This was done for n=2 animals from each experimental group; all animals were female.

Intravital Lung Microscopy Protocol

Intravital microscopy of the lung was performed as described previously8 (link)66 (link). Briefly, animals were anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated. A thoracotomy was performed to expose the right middle lung lobe and the lung was hold in position using a custom-built fixation device with an integrated observation window66 (link). Immediately before imaging animals were injected with an Alexa488-coupled anti-Gr1 antibody (clone RB6-8C5, 5 μg per mouse, purified from hybridoma supernatant) and a PE-coupled anti-CD41 antibody (clone MWReg30, 5 μl per mouse, BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). High-speed multichannel fluorescence microscopy was performed on an upright microscope (Axioskop; Carl Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany) equipped with a Lambda DG-4 ultra high speed wavelength switcher (Sutter Instruments, Novato, CA, USA) and a 40 × 0.75 NA saline immersion objective. Videos were recorded with a digital camera (Sensicam QE) and analysed with Slidebook Software (Version 5; Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Göttingen, Germany).

For microarray hybridization, total RNA was isolated and purified using a DNA-free RNA isolation kit (RNAqueous-4PCR kit; Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA samples were first amplified for array analysis using the Illumina Total Prep RNA Amplification Kit (Ambion) as previously described (29 (link)). Amplified cRNA (1.5 µg) was hybridized on Mouse WG-6 v2 Expression BeadChip arrays (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), containing more than 45,281 well-annotated Ref transcripts. The array chip was then scanned on a BeadArray Reader (BeadStation 500G Instrument; Illumina Inc.) and subjected to gene identification and quantitation by the Genome Studio Software v1.0.2.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In some experiments, mice were depleted of their circulating neutrophils before tissue stimulation as previously described (Voisin et al., 2009 (link)). In brief, anti-GR1 antibody (25 µg/day; RB6-8C5; BD) in 500 µl saline was injected i.p. for 3 consecutive days. Control mice received rat IgG2bκ isotype control antibody (AbD Serotec). The level of neutrophils and monocytes was determined by flow cytometry (Gr1+ and Gr1+/CX3CR1-GFP+ cells, respectively) from blood samples taken from the tail vein before and after antibody treatment. Mice treated with anti-Gr1 antibody showed >85% depletion of their circulating neutrophils with no impact on the proportion of blood Gr1+/CX3CR1-GFP+ monocytes.

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.
