Prostate tissues were digested in DMEM/F12/Collagenase/Hyaluronidase/FBS (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for 3 hours at 37 °C, followed by an additional 1 hour of digestion in 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) on ice. Subsequently, digested cells were suspended in Dispase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, 5 mg/mL) and DNase I (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN, 1 mg/mL), and pipetted vigorously to dissociate cell clumps. Dissociated cells were then passed through 70 μm cell strainers (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) to get single cells.
Human prostate tissues were chopped into 2–3 mm-long pieces and incubated in 5 mg/ml collagenase type II/ advanced DMEM/F12 (1 ml per 50 mg of prostate tissue) with 10 μM of Y-27632 (STEMCELL technologies) for 5–12 hours. Tissues were pelleted, resuspended, and incubated in chilled 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA for 5 min. Thereafter, human prostate tissues were pelleted, resuspended in Dispase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, 5 mg/mL) and DNase I (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN, 1 mg/mL), and pipetted vigorously to dissociate cell clumps. Dissociated cells were then passed through 70 μm cell strainers (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) to obtain single cells.

Immune Cell Dynamics After Spinal Cord Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To study the dynamics of immune cells after SCI, spinal cords from sham (laminectomy only) and injured LV-GFP or LV-ChABC treated rats were harvested at day 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after lesion. Animals were deeply anaesthetised with sodium pentobarbital (Euthatal®, 80 mg/kg, administered intraperitoneally) and transcardially perfused with ice-cold 1X phosphate buffered saline (PBS) + 2% EDTA. Immediately after perfusion, 8 mm of the injured spinal cord centred around the lesion epicentre was dissected and placed into ice-cold PBS. Tissue was mechanically dissociated and then passed through a 70 μm cell strainer (BD Falcon, Germany), and centrifuged at 300 × g at 4 °C. The pellet was incubated with Myelin Removal Beads II (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) and passed through LS columns (Miltenyi Biotech) to elute cells. For primary cell cultures, cells were detached by incubating with Enzyme Free cell dissociation buffer (Milipore). Remaining adherent cells were gently scraped and passed through a 70 μm cell strainer (BD Falcon, Germany). After centrifugation, cells were resuspended in DPBS (Gibco).

Single-cell suspensions were prepared from dissected tumors and spleens. Spleens were mechanically disrupted using a plunger end of a 5 mL syringe and resuspended in 1% FBS/PBS after passing through a 70-μm cell strainer (Falcon). Red blood cells were depleted from total splenocytes using 1x RBC Lysis Solution (eBioscience, 00–4333-57). For isolation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor tissue was minced into 1 to 2 mm pieces and digested with collagenase IV (1.25 mg/mL; #LS004188, Worthington), 0.1% trypsin inhibitor from soybean (# T9128, Sigma), hyaluronidase (1 mg/mL; # LS 002592, Worthington), and DNase I (100 mg/mL; # LS002007, Worthington) in complete DMEM for 30 minutes at 37°C. Cell suspensions were passed through a 70-μm cell strainer (Falcon) and resuspended in RPMI media (Gibco). Lymphocytes were isolated from processed tumor tissues by OptiPrep (Sigma) density gradient centrifugation. For experiments requiring ex vivo stimulation and intracellular cytokine staining, regulatory B cells (CD19+CD1dHiCD5+CD21Hi) and conventional B cells (CD19+CD1dLoCD5-CD21Lo) were sorted from single cell splenic suspensions using the BD FACS Aria III cell sorter according to manufacturer’s instructions and UNC flow cytometry core guidelines.

Mammary tumor epithelial cells (MECs) were isolated from MMTV-Wnt1 or MMTV-Wnt1/dnIGF-1R mice similarly to our prior study [1 (link)]. Whole tumors were excised and dissociated with the gentleMACs tissue dissociator (130–093-235, protocol m_TDK2) and mouse specific tumor dissociation kit (Miltenyi, 130–096-730). Organoids that retain basement membrane attachments were trypsinized (0.05% Trypsin-EDTA, Gibco) and filtered with a 40-μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences) to isolate a single cell suspension of dissociated tumor MECs. Isolated tumor MECs were counted using a hemocytometer prior to flow cytometry or sorting.
Mammary tumor immune cells were isolated from tumors as described previously [23 ]. Whole tumors were excised, minced, and digested with Collagenase-I (10 U/ml), Collagenase-IV (400 U/ml; Worthington), and DNase-1 (30 mg/ml; Sigma Aldrich) for 25 min at 37 °C. Cells from digested tumors were filtered with a 70-μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences) and pelleted. Red blood cells were lysed with an erythrocyte lysis buffer (150 mM Ammonium chloride, 1 mM Potassium bicarbonate, 130 μM EDTA, pH 7.2) for 2 min, filtered with a 70-μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences) and pelleted. Isolated immune cells were counted using a hemocytometer prior to flow cytometry or magnetic bead sorting.

Single-cell suspension of hepatic leukocytes were prepared using a conventional method according to a previous report with some modifications [17 (link)]. Briefly, infected or control mice were perfused with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) via the portal vein. The excised liver was minced, then pressed through a 70-μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). The total hepatic cells were then resuspended in 40% Percoll solution (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA), and centrifuged for 15 min at 750× g. Then, the leukocytes were resuspended in erythrocyte-lysing buffer. Lastly, the cells were washed and resuspended in RPMI 1640 medium. For the spleen, all cells were washed and resuspended in RPMI 1640 medium immediately after they had been pressed through a 70-μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences).

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.
