FACS analysis and cell sorting were performed as described previously [48] (link). In brief, the small intestine was cut longitudinally and washed in cold PBS. Then, a 2-cm piece of intestine was cut and incubated in 2% (vol/vol) fetal calf serum in RPMI 1640 (Wako) containing 0.5 mM EDTA (Nacalai Tesque) for 15 minutes at 37°C. Cells were filtered with a 70-μm cell strainer (Becton Dickinson) and blocked with Fc Block (2.4G2; Becton Dickinson) for 5 minutes at room temperature, followed by staining antibodies and reagents for 30 minutes at 4°C. Dead cells were excluded by propidium iodide (PI) staining. Epithelial cell fraction was defined by PICD45TER119EpCAM+ gating and biotinylated HKH-189 was used for Cld4 staining. Samples were analyzed by FACSCanto (Becton Dickinson) or sorted by FACSAria (Becton Dickinson).

Blood was collected by cheek bleeding or intracardial puncture. Spleens were smashed through a 70 μm nylon mesh filter (Becton Dickinson). Primary BM cells were harvested by flushing femurs' content using IMDM (Gibco). Red blood cells were lysed in an ammonium chloride buffer, and peritoneal lavages were harvested, as described elsewhere (29 (link)). For skin cell preparations, ears were split into the dorsal and ventral layers, minced and digested 30 min at 37C in a shaking incubator (150 rpm) in IMDM 5% FCS (Gibco) containing 2 mg/mL of collagenase IV and 100 μg/mL DNAse I (both Sigma). Digestion was stopped by adding 5 mM EDTA and a single cell suspension obtained by smashing the remaining tissue through a 70 μm nylon mesh filter (BD). Cells were cultured ex vivo in DMEM 20% FCS + Non-essential amino acid + Sodium pyruvate (Gibco) at 37C +5% CO2. Peritoneal lavages incubation with DT was done in the presence of 10 ng/mL of Stem cell factor (SCF) (Peprotech). Whole splenocytes were stimulated with IL3 (Peprotech) or sterile-filtered FcBlock (2.4G2, Becton Dickinson, 10 μg/mL), MAR1 (0.5 μg/mL) or Ba13-APC (Biolegend, 1 μg/mL), Phorbol–myristate acetate (PMA, 100 ng/mL), ionomycin (100 ng/mL) or both (Thermofischer) for the indicated times in culture medium.

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.
