LY6G+ enriched splenocytes were isolated using a two-step magnetic separation. Briefly, splenocytes were labeled for negative selection with biotinylated antibodies to B220, CD4, CD8, CD11C, DX5, MHC class II, and TER119 (eBioscience) and streptavidin-microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). After enrichment using the Automacs (Miltenyi Biotec) the negative fraction was labeled with a biotinylated antibody to LY6G (eBioscience) and streptavidin-microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and again separated using the Automacs (Miltenyi Biotec). Flow cytometry was used to assess the purity of the LY6G+ fraction, and the remaining cells were spun onto slides with a cytospin centrifuge (Harlow Scientific) and stained with Giemsa (Ricca Chemical Company). Cells were then observed with an Olympus confocal microscope at 100x magnification.

BM cell suspensions were incubated with the FcBlock reagent (anti-CD16/32, in Rat serum—no. 13551, STEMCELL Technologies), labelled with the biotinylated antibodies anti-CD45R/B220, anti-CD19, anti-CD11b/Mac-1, anti-Ly6G/GR-1, anti-pan-NK, anti-Ly-76/TER and anti-CD3 (full list of antibodies and dyes in Supplementary Table 1), and incubated with Streptavidin microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec), for negative selection of lineage-positive cells by immunomagnetic separation using a MACS column (Miltenyi Biotec). Cells were further incubated in serum-free media (StemSpam SFEM, no. 09650, StemCell Technologies) with 20 μg ml−1 Rhodamine 123 (no. R302, Invitrogen) for 30 min in a water bath at 37 °C (in the dark), cooled, rinsed with HBSS, 5% FBS and then stained with Hoechst 33342 (no. H3570, Invitrogen) at a concentration of 2.5 μg ml−1 diluted in the serum-free media as before, for 90 min at 37 °C, in the dark. Cells were then labelled in HBSS with 5% FBS for 30 min on ice, with Streptavidin-APC and anti-CD45-PE and 1 μg ml−1 Propidium Iodide (no. P3566, Invitrogen). For the long-term reconstituting SP cells gating adjustment, an aliquot of the sample was incubated with 25 mg ml−1 of Verapamil (no. 676777, Calbiochem) before staining with the dyes. Further stainings with different HSC-specific marker combinations were tested, confirming the enrichment of HSCs within the SP gates.

Long bones from 6- to 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice were dissected, and the bone marrow was flushed with RPMI 1640 + 2% FCS medium. After red blood cell lysis (150 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM KHCO3, 0.1 mM EDTA), monocytes were purified with anti-CD115-biotin antibody (eBioscience, San Diego, CA) coupled to Streptavidin MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec). Monocytes (CD115+) were used for the transmigration assay.

Ly6G+ cells were purified from spleen cells or tumor cells by positive selection using biotinylated Ly6G antibody and streptavidin microbeads (Miltenyi). The purity of the cell populations was >95%. CD11b+Ly6ChighLy6G cells were isolated from spleen cells by cell sorting on a FACSAria cell sorter (BD Biosciences). CD8+ T cells from PMEL mice that recognize the gp100-derived peptide, were used as responders. Splenocytes from PMEL mice were mixed with splenocytes from naïve mice at 1:4 ratio in complete RPMI media and plated into 96-well U-bottom plates at 105 cells/well. Ly6G+ or CD11b+Ly6ChighLy6G cells were added to the wells at 1:16–1:1 ratios. Murine gp100 peptide (25 (link)–33 (link)) EGSRNQDWL (AnaSpec, Inc.) was added into the wells at the final concentration of 0.1 μg/mL. After 48 hours, cells were pulsed with 3H-thymidine (1 μCi/well; GE healthcare) for 16 hours. 3H-thymidine uptake was counted using a liquid scintillation counter as counts per minute (cpm) and calculated the percentage of proliferation to the positive control (the wells with responder cells and peptide but without suppressive cells).

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.
