Splenocytes were collected from naïve C57Bl/6N wild-type mice after lysis of red blood cells with PharmLyse buffer (BD Bioscience) and were labeled with 5 mM of CFSE (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS for 15 min at 37°C. Then, 2 × 106 labeled splenocytes were infused into the tail vein of sex-matched recipient mice. Inguinal LNs were collected 30 min later, fixed with 10% paraformaldehyde overnight at room temperature, and embedded in paraffin. Seven-μm and 40-μm sections were deparaffinized, followed by antigen retrieval (10 mM citrate buffer [pH 6.0]) and immunofluorescence staining using goat anti-LYVE1 (R&D) and rabbit anti-ANXA2 (Abcam) antibodies and donkey anti-goat and anti-rabbit Alexa594- and Alexa647-conjugated secondary antibodies. Images covering all cortical and medullary regions were captured with an LSM 780 upright confocal microscope and analyzed with Fiji. The number of CFSE-labeled cells in ANXA2+ sinuses and in ANXA2- sinuses were counted manually using 7-μm sections. Maximum intensity projections of confocal z-stack images were prepared using 40-μm sections of the same samples.

Mice were sacrificed and lymph nodes were dissected and fixed in 4% PFA. After a wash in PBS, samples were permeabilized in 0.5% Triton-X 100 in PBS. After a wash in PBS, samples were blocked in blocking solution (1% BSA, 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS) and subsequently incubated with primary antibodies diluted in blocking solution. The antibodies used were rabbit anti-RFP (1:100, Rockland) and goat anti-LYVE-1 (1:100, R&D Systems). Samples were washed in PBS 0.1% Tween-20 (PBS-T) and incubated with AlexaFluor 488 and 647-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:200, Invitrogen) in blocking solution. After a wash in PBS-T, samples were embedded in 1% ultrapure low melting point agarose, dehydrated with methanol and cleared with BABB (benzyl alcohol/ benzyl benzoate 1:2) [20 (link)]. Briefly, samples were dehydrated in a series of 50%, 70%, 95% (at least 1 hour each) and 100% methanol (overnight) and cleared for 1 hour in 50% BABB in methanol and finally in BABB for at least 8 hours. Samples were stored in BABB at 4°C in the dark until image acquisition. Images were acquired using a LaVision Ultramicroscope (LaVision BioTec, Bielefeld). Stacks were captured using 2 μm step size and 2.5x magnification. Maximum projection of a 260 μm z-stack was obtained using the ImageJ software.

Immunohistochemistry was performed as previously indicated [73 (link), 82 (link)] on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) LNs obtained at necropsy. Briefly, sections were deparaffinized and antigen retrieval was performed using a Retriever (Electron Microscopy Services, Hatfield, PA) in Tris-EDTA-Tween-80 buffer 73. Sections were stained for Tcells/B cells/dendritic cells (polyclonal rabbit anti-CD3, Dako, Santa Clara, CA; polyclonal rabbit anti-CD20, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA; mouse-anti-CD11c, Leica Microsystems, Buffalo Grove, IL), macrophage subsets (mouse anti-CD68, Thermo Fisher; rabbit anti-DC-SIGN, ProSci Inc, Poway, CA; mouse anti-CD163, Thermo Fisher), LN vascular and structural aspects (Goat anti-LYVE-1, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN; rat-anti PNAd, BioLegend, San Diego, CA), and LN conduit systems (visualized by staining for rabbit anti-collagen 1 [Abcam, Cambridge, MA]). Primary antibodies were visualized with species- and isotype-specific secondary antibodies purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch (West Grove, PA). Auramine rhodamine was performed as previously indicated [73 (link)] using reagents from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA). Images were acquired at 20x magnification with a Nikon e1000 widefield microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY) with Nikon Elements.

Meninges were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde while still attached to the
skullcap. Skullcaps were then incubated in ethanol/acetone for 20 min at −20℃ and then the
meninges were carefully dissected away from the skullcap. Meninges were washed with PBS
and then blocked overnight with PBS + 0.3% TX-100 + 20% Aquablock (East Coast Bio, North
Berwick, ME, USA). Primary antibody was then added and the meninges were incubated
overnight at 4℃. The following primary antibodies were used: rat anti-CD31 (1:1000;
eBiosciences, San Diego, CA, USA), goat anti-Lyve-1 (1:1000; R&D Systems, Minneapolis,
MN, USA), hamster anti-podoplanin (1:1000; Abcam, San Francisco, CA, USA), and rabbit
anti-Prox1 (1:500; AngioBioCo, Del Mar, CA, USA). Tissues were washed with PBS + 0.3%
TX-100 and then incubated overnight at 4℃ with the appropriate secondary antibodies.
Tissues were washed again with PBS + 0.3% TX-100, placed on slides, and coverslips were
mounted with ProLong Gold (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) anti-fade
reagent.

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.
