BMDMs were stimulated on day 7 with murine IFNγ (20 μg/mL) or murine IL-4 (20 μg/mL), alone or in combination with murine G-CSF (50 ng/mL). After 24 hours cells were lysed with Trizol for further mRNA quantification.

In indicated conditions, BMDMs were co-cultured with 3x105 FACS-sorted neutrophils for 24 hours. In transwell experiments neutrophils were added into the upper compartment of a Transwell permeable support with 0.4 μm pore (Corning, NY, US). After 24 hours medium was collected and IL-12p70 concentration was analyzed by ELISA.

DCs were derived from bone marrow progenitor cells as described.32 (link) Briefly, 6–8 weeks old C57BL/6 female mice were used for the generation of DCs. The bone marrow cells were harvested from the femurs. Then, the cells were cultured in complete RPMI1640 containing mouse recombinant IL-4 (1 ng/ml) and GM-CSF (10 ng/ml) (both Invivogen, ‎San Diego, CA) for 8 days in a petri dish. On day 8, immature DCs were harvested by collecting non-adherent cells and then immediately pulsed by incubation with KPC tumor cell lysates in the presence of 100 ng/ml IFN-γ and 250 ng/ml LPS – E. coli 0111:B4 (both from Invivogen, ‎San Diego, CA). KPC lysates were generated by collecting and resuspending KPC tumor cells at 1 × 106 cells/ml in PBS, followed by irradiation with UV for 20 minutes (0.75 J/cm2) and 24 h incubation.

The anti-Nlrp3 antibody used in this study was from R&D (MAB7578), and detects both human and mouse proteins. Nexinhib20, 4,4-dimethyl-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pent-1-en-3-one was described previously, its molecular signature and purity were confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis (Johnson et al., 2016 (link)). Nexinhib20 was dissolved at a concentration of 10 mM in DMSO and diluted in PBS. The final concentration of Nexinhib20 in the reaction media was 10 μM.

and plated in 10 cm Petri dish (Greiner, 633185) in supplemented cell
culture medium as described above. The RPMI medium was additionally
supplemented with 200 ng/mL human Flt3 ligand (Miltenyi Biotec, 130-096-479)
and 5 ng/mL murine GM-CSF (Peprotech, 315-02) and 50 μM β-mercaptoethanol.
Cells were cultured at a density of 15 × 106 per plate
at 10% CO2, 37 °C in humidified atmosphere. After 5 days, medium
was replaced with fresh 200 ng/mL Flt3 ligand and 5 ng/mL murine GM-CSF.
After 9 days, cells were harvested and replated at a density of 3
× 106 cells per plate, and 200 ng/mL fresh Flt3 ligand
and 5 ng/mL GM-CSF containing medium was added up to 10 mL. One day
before T cell coculture, cells were stimulated with 0.3 μg/mL
LPS (Invivogen, vac-3pelps). On the day of T cell coculture, cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IL-12, IL-27, and GM-CSF plasmids were purchased from InvivoGen (San Diego, CA, USA) and were amplified to generate templates for in vitro transcription. DNA sequences of the cytokines used in this study are listed in supplementary data. mRNA transcripts were synthesized as reported previously37 (link), 38 (link). mRNAs were synthesized with full substitution of UTP by pseudouridine-5’-triphosphate (TriLink, USA) using AmpliScribe T7-Flash Transcription Kit (Lucigen, USA) following the manufacturer’s instruction. The resulting mRNAs were then purified by RNA Clean & Concentrator (Zymo, USA) and capped using Vaccinia Capping System (NEB, USA) and Cap 2´-O-Methyltransferase (NEB, USA). After one final round of purification, mRNA concentrations were measured using a NanoDrop 2000 Spectrophotometer (ThermoFisher, USA) and stored at −80°C for future use.

Cell suspensions from bone marrow of the indicated genotypes including WT, Myd88−/− (Adachi et al., 1998 (link)), CD11cΔSyk (Iborra et al., 2012 (link)), Fcer1g−/− (B6; 129P2-Fcer1gtm1Rav/J), Clec7a−/− (Marakalala et al., 2013 (link)), Clec4n−/− (Saijo et al., 2010 (link)) and Clec4e−/− (Wells et al., 2008 (link)) were cultured on tissue culture flasks (Falcon Products) in the presence of 20 ng/mL recombinant GM-CSF (Miltenyi Biotec). GM-CSF BM-derived cells were collected on day 6, purified by positive selection with anti-CD11c-microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and plated 16 h before stimulation.
In the indicated experiments, GM-CSF BM-derived CD11c+ cells (GM-BM, 2x106/mL) were stimulated with LPS EB (100 ng/mL, InvivoGen), plated TDB (1 μg/well, InvivoGen), zymosan (10 μg/mL, InvivoGen) or by co-culture with the indicated ratio of total microbiota from SPF mice, quantified by the optical density at 600 nm (OD600nm) together with quantification by flow cytometry, in the presence of 100 U/mL Penicillin and 100 μg/mL Streptomycin. Activation of GM-BMs was assessed by quantifying the upregulation of MHCII, CD40, CD86, CCR7 or Syk phosphorylation.
For some experiments, GM-BMs were FACS-sorted based on the expression of MERTK and CD115 into conventional DCs (GM-DCs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (GM-Macs) as previously described (Helft et al., 2015 (link)).

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.
