μg/ml using TransIT-X2 (Mirus Bio) according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Stimulations of TLR3 and TLR7/8 were
performed using 10 μg/ml floating poly(I:C) or 1 μg/ml R848 (both

PBMCs were incubated in T-75 flasks (Corning) for 2 hours and nonadherent cells (mostly peripheral blood lymphocytes) were saved. Adherent cells (mostly monocytes) were washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline, differentiated over 6 days into immature DCs with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (Gentaur, Brussels, Belgium, 50 ng/ml) and IL-4 (Gentaur, 25 ng/ml). Medium was changed every 2 days. Immature DCs were then maturated for 24 hours in culture medium with IFN-γ (Shenandoah Biotechnology, Warwick, PA, 1,000 IU/ml), polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C); Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, 20 µg/ml) and R848 (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, 2.5 μg/ml).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from single-cell suspensions of tibia and femur marrow were differentiated in vitro as previously described [21 (link)]. Briefly, murine bone marrow was cultured in RPMI 1640 (Lonza, Walkersville, MD) supplemented with 30% L-cell conditioned media, 20% Fetal Calf Serum and penicillin/streptomycin for a period of six days. Adherent BMDMs were harvested and replated in minimal media for a rest phase of 12–18 hours. Following this rest phase, BMDMs were pre-treated in certain conditions with CCL2 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MD) for a period of 12–18 hours, were indicated. Stimulations with IFNγ (Shenandoah Biotechnology, Warwick, PA), IL-4 (Shenandoah), and LPS (0111:B4, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) were performed following the rest and pretreatment phase. Reported endotoxin levels in the utilized recombinant cytokines are as follows: <0.01 EU/μg for CCL2 and <1 EU/μg for IFNγ and IL-4. The ERK1/2 inhibitor GDC-0994 (Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX) was resuspended in DMSO and used at a final concentration of 50 nM in cell culture assays.

Following exposure to either γ-irradiation or UV-irradiation or treatment with 50 ng/mL of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (Shenandoah Biotechnology, USA), B16-OVA cells were incubated for 18 hrs. in a 6-well plate at a density of 1.0x106 cells/well. After incubation, the cells were harvested and washed with 1X PBS, then transferred to a 96-well round-bottom plate (Corning, USA). Cells were then washed twice in flow staining buffer (1X PBS, 0.1% sodium azide, 1% BSA) and then stained with PE-anti-MHC-I (Biolegend, clone: 28-8-6) for 30 min at 4°C. Data was acquired using a CytoFLEX flow cytometer and analyzed using FlowJo software (BD, USA).

Bone marrow cells from indicated animals were isolated and cultured in L-cell conditioned media (RPMI 1640, 20% v/v Fetal Bovine Serum/FBS, 30% v/v L929 conditioned supernatant) for a period of seven days. At the end of the differentiation culture, adherent cells were harvested, replated and cultured in RPMI 1640 with 10% v/v FBS and penicillin/streptomycin. The concentrations of the indicated stimuli were as follows: IFNγ (Shenandoah Biotechnology, Warwick, PA), IL-4 (Shenandoah), IL-12 (Shenandoah), IL-23 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), IL-27 (R&D), IL-28β (R&D), IFNα3 (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ), IFNβ (PeproTech) = all at 10 ng/ml. LPS (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) = 100 ng/ml. CpG & pI:C (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA) = 10 μg/ml.

Bone marrow and spleen macrophage generation

Bone marrow-MΦ and Sp-MΦ were generated as previously described (8 (link), 23 (link), 51 (link)). Briefly, cells (for both BM-MΦ and Sp-MΦ) were cultured in 6 well plates (Corning) with conditioned RPMI 1640 (Gibco) medium (CM) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Fisher Scientific), M-CSF media and 50 µg/mL gentamycin. On days 3 and 5 of culturing, non-adherent cells were removed and fresh CM was added. Sp-MΦ and BM-MΦ were cultured for 6–7 days in total before activation and testing for their functions as described below. For M(LPS + IFN-γ) MΦ: cells were primed with IFN-γ (25 ng/mL for 16–18 h; Shenandoah Biotechnology) followed by Escherichia coli LPS (O55:B5, 100 ng/mL for 6 h; Sigma-Aldrich). To induce M(IL-4) MΦ, polarization cells were treated with rIL-4 (20 ng/mL for 18–24 h; Shenandoah Biotechnology). Unstimulated control MΦ (M0) were placed in RPMI 10% FCS for 18–24 h.

To study the effect of IFN-γ on TNBC cells, EpRas cells were plated in 10-cm dishes. After 24 h, when the cells became 70–80% confluent, either a sterile water control or IFN-γ (10 ng ml−1; catalogue number 100-77; Shenandoah Biotechnology) was added directly to the plates with 10 ml fresh media. The cells were cultured further for 48 h and harvested for qPCR, western blotting, FACS or tumour cell injections. For injection into the mice, cells were trypsinized, washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and counted for MFP or intravenous injection into the mice.

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.
