For flow cytometry analysis, adherent cells were recovered by trypsinising or gentle scraping and washed in PBS with 2 mM EDTA (PBS/EDTA). Non‐adherent cells were recovered from culture supernatants by centrifugation for 5 min at 300 g and washed once in PBS/EDTA. Cells were stained with fixable Zombie UV Live/Dead dye (BioLegend) for 6 min at room temperature. Excess stain was quenched with FBS‐complemented DMEM. For MDMs, Fc‐blocking was performed with PBS/EDTA+10% human serum for 10 min at 4°C. Cell surface with CD86‐Bv711 (IT2.2, BioLegend) and HLA‐DR‐PerCpCy5.5 or PE‐Cy7 (L243, BioLegend) staining was performed in PBS/EDTA at 4°C for 30min. Unbound antibody was washed off thoroughly, and cells were fixed in 4% PFA prior to intracellular staining. For intracellular detection of SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleoprotein, cells were permeabilised for 15 min with Intracellular Staining Perm Wash Buffer (BioLegend). Cells were then incubated with 1 μg/ml CR3009 SARS‐CoV‐2 cross‐reactive antibody (a kind gift from Dr. Laura McCoy) in permeabilisation buffer for 30 min at room temperature, washed once and incubated with secondary Alexa Fluor 488‐Donkey‐anti‐Human IgG (Jackson Labs). All samples were acquired on a BD Fortessa X20 or LSR II using BD FACSDiva software. Data were analysed using FlowJo v10 (Tree Star).

Magnetic bead separation was used to isolate B cells (Mouse B Cell Isolation Kit; Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and CD4+ T cells (CD4+ T Cell Isolation kit; Miltenyi Biotec) from mechanically dissociated spleens from OTII mice. CD4+ T cells were labelled with CellTrace™ Violet Proliferation Dye (Thermo Fisher) and pre‐treated with titrating concentrations of BIIB091. Isolated B cells were pre‐treated with titrating concentrations of BIIB091 for 30 min at 37°C. To target OVA to BCR, BIIB091‐treated B cells were incubated with biotin‐conjugated goat F(ab′)2 anti‐mouse IgM (10 μg mL−1; Jackson ImmunoResearch) on ice for 15 min, followed by washing and subsequent incubation with OVA‐conjugated anti‐biotin antibody (OVA Antigen Delivery Reagent; Miltenyi Biotec) for 10 min on ice. Titrating doses of BIIB091 were present during these two incubation steps. OVA‐targeted B cells were then cultured with CellTrace™ Violet‐labelled CD4 T cells in the presence of titrating concentrations of BIIB091 for 72 h at 37°C. Following the 72‐h incubation at 37°C, the B:T Co‐culture was labelled with Zombie UV™ live/dead dye (Biolegend) and stained for flow cytometry. The level of CD4+ T‐cell proliferation and the frequency of CD69+ B220+ B cells was quantified with FlowJo.

Uterine samples consisting of maternal decidua and myometrium were
collected 6 h after ultrapure LPS challenge (or saline) on d16 of gestation
from WT and BAFF reporter (RFP48 (link)) mice. Immune cells were isolated using enzymatic
digestion. Briefly, uterine tissue was dissected and finely minced. Tissue
was digested using Liberase TM (21 µg/mL, Roche) and Dnase I (8.8
µg/mL, Roche) in DMEM containing HEPES and 2% BSA. Tissue was
incubated at 37°C for 30 min at 220 RPM. After digestion, cells were
filtered through a 100 µM strainer and centrifuged at 800 g for 5
min. Following red blood cell lysis, single cell suspensions were stained
with Live/Dead (Zombie UV Dye: Biolegend) and directly conjugated monoclonal
antibodies to CD45-PE-Dazzle594 (Biolegend, 104), F4/80-AF700 (Biolegend,
BM8), TCRb-APC-ef780 (Invitrogen, H57–597), CD11b-ef450 (Biolegend,

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.
