For flow cytometry experiments, mammary glands were excised and digested as described for organoid experiments. Following digestion at 37 °C, samples were dissociated into single cells using TrypLE (Gibco, 12604-021), quenched with DMEM/10% FBS, and washed with PBS. Cells were then put through a 40 µM (Fisher, 22-363-547) or 70 µM strainer (Corning, 352350). For mammary gland profiling, live/dead staining was performed using a near-IR dead cell stain (Invitrogen, L34976), followed by blocking using Fc block (BD Biosciences, 553142) in BD stain buffer (BD, 554656). Samples were then incubated in primary antibodies at the specified concentrations for 30 min at 4 °C, washed twice, and resuspended in PBS. Compensation was performed using UltraComp eBeads Compensation Beads (Invitrogen). Flow cytometry was performed using a BD LSRII flow cytometer using FACS Diva 6.2.1 (BD Biosciences) and analysis was performed using FlowJo v10.7.1 (BD Biosciences). All antibodies used for flow cytometry are outlined in Supplementary Table 2. For FACS experiments, live/dead staining was performed using Calcein blue (Invitrogen, C1429) at a concentration of 1 µM. Cell sorting was performed on a Moflo Astrios flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter).

Lymph node cells were stained rather than skin to avoid potential effects of lengthy enzymatic digestion of skin on pDok1 levels. Cells were analyzed using a BD Fortessa or LSRII flow cytometer and FlowJo (TreeStar).

FACS analysis was performed essentially as described [17 (link)]. After overnight incubation, 250–300 islets of the same genotype were handpicked and dissociated into single cells by repeated pipetting in 150 μl of Hank’s based cell dissociation buffer (Invitrogen) containing 0.1 % BSA and 0.1 % trypsin. The reaction was stopped with the addition of FBS (20 μl; Seralab). Cells were incubated in near-IR dead cell stain (Life technologies) for 20 min. at 4 °C, washed with PBA (PBS, 1 % BSA, 0.1 % azide) and fixed in 2 % (w/v) PFA for 10 min. and then washed twice with PBA and once with Saponin (0.025 % in PBA) before 10 min incubation with Saponin at room temperature. Cells were incubated with primary antibodies against insulin or glucagon (see Table 2) before incubation with secondary antibodies (anti-mouse AF 405, anti-guinea pig AF 488, anti-rabbit AF 640) for 20 min and resuspension in PBA. The samples were run on a BD Fortessa Flow Cytometer (BD Bioscience).

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.
