Peripheral Blood and Tissue Histology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complete peripheral blood (PB) counts were analyzed using a Drew Scientific Hemavet 950. Briefly, a portion of PB from the cardiac puncture was collected using Microtainer blood collection tubes (BD) with a K2EDTA additive. After thorough mixing within the K2EDTA containing tube, blood was transferred to a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube and run on the Drew Scientific Hemavet 950. For tissue histology, tibias and spleens were fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin blocks, sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).

Blood was collected from the heart after sacrificing the animal. One hundred microliter of blood was collected in a microtainer containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and analyzed using Hemavet 950 (Drew Scientific, Dallas, TX, USA). The hematological parameters studied were as follows: white blood cell count, red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrits, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, red cell distribution width, platelet (PLT) count, mean PLT volume, percentage of neutrophils, percentage of lymphocytes, percentage of monocytes, percentage of eosinophils, and percentage of basophils.

Isolation and Analysis of Murine Hematopoietic Cells

Mice were sacrificed, and tibiae, femurs, sternum, coxae, and vertebral columns were crushed in RPMI-1640 medium (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 2% FCS. For cell sorting, lineage depletion was performed by incubating BM cells with rat monoclonal antibodies targeting CD4 (GK1.5), CD8a (53.6.7), CD11b (M1/70), B220 (RA3-6B2), Gr-1 (RB6.8C5), and Ter119 (Ter119). Subsequently, cells were washed, and lin+ cells were removed using magnetic beads (Dynabeads; Invitrogen). For analysis of PB, four to five drops of blood were collected from the vena facialis into an EDTA-coated tube. Blood cells were analyzed using a hematology system (Hemavet 950; Drew Scientific). For FACS analysis, erythrocytes were lysed with 1 ml ammonium-chloride-potassium lysing buffer.

Comprehensive Murine Hematology Analysis

Blood was collected from the retro-orbital sinus into EDTA-coated eppendorf tubes. Complete blood count (CBC) was performed by a HemaVet 950 analyzer (Drew Scientific, Inc., Waterbury, CT). After euthanasia by CO2, BM cells were extracted from bilateral tibiae and femurs, filtered through 95 μM nylon mesh, and counted by a Vi-Cell counter (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL). BM cells were stained with antibody mixtures on ice for 30 minutes in FBS-supplemented RPMI 1640 (Life Technilogies), and acquired using BD FACSCanto II and BD LSRFortessa flow cytometers operated by FACSDiva software (Becton Dickson, San Diego, CA).
Monoclonal antibodies for murine CD3 (clone 145-2C11), CD4 (clone GK 1.5), CD8 (clone 53–6.72), CD44 (clone IM7), CD48 (clone HM48-1), CD62L (clone MEL-14), CD117 (c-Kit, clone 2B8), CD150 (SLAM, clone TC15-12F12.2), erythroid cells (clone Ter119), granulocytes (Gr1/Ly6-G, clone RB6-8C5), stem cell antigen-1 (Sca-1, clone E13-161), and IFN-γ (clone XMG1.2) were all from BioLegend (San Diego, CA). Antibodies were conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), phycoerythrin (PE), PE-cyanin 5 (PE-Cy5), PE-cyanin 7 (PE-Cy7), allophycocyanin (APC) or brilliant violet 421 (BV421).

BAL fluid was cataloged by digital photography and BAL optical density at 540 nm (OD540) was measured immediately using 100-µL aliquots. BAL hemoglobin and platelet counts were measured in 1 mL BAL fluid by Hemavet 950 (Drew Scientific) as described in a prior report.54 (link) BAL total protein concentration was determined after centrifugation by Pierce BCA Protein Assay. BAL immunoglobulin M (IgM) was determined following 1:10 dilution according to the manufacturer’s instructions (#E90-101, Bethyl Labs).

Bone Marrow Cell Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For flow cytometry, 1–2 × 106 freshly isolated bone marrow cells in 200 μl buffer or 100 μl whole blood were stained with conjugated antibodies on ice for 30 min. Fc receptors were blocked by incubation with anti-mouse CD16/CD32 antibodies for 5 min on ice. After antibody incubation, erythrocytes were lysed by adding 2 ml lysis buffer (150 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM NaHCO3, 1 mM EDTA) for 3 min at room temperature. After a final wash, samples were analysed on a FACSCalibur cytometer (Becton Dickinson). Leukocyte subpopulations were distinguished by light scatter and/or by specific antibodies. Cold Ca2+/Mg2+-free Hanks' balanced salt solution containing 5 mM EDTA and 0.1% human serum albumin (HBSS/EDTA/HSA) was used unless otherwise specified. Peripheral blood counts were measured using a veterinary haematology analyser (Hemavet 950, Drew Scientific Inc.).

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.
