Tracking Splenic B Cell Migration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6J mice were injected intravenously with splenic B cells purified by negative depletion from either Wnk1fl/+ RCE or Wnk1fl/− RCE radiation bone marrow chimeras and labeled with 1 µM CMFDA. After 1 h, spleens were harvested and embedded in optimum cutting temperature compound (BDH) and frozen. 8-µm sections were fixed with 4% PFA and blocked with 2% goat serum in PBS. To identify the white pulp, sections were stained with anti-MADCAM1 (1:50, MECA-367; eBioscience) and an Alexa Fluor 647–goat anti-rat IgG secondary antibody (1:400, A-21247; Life Technologies). Sections were also counter-stained with DAPI. Images were acquired using a Zeiss Axio Scan.Z1 slide scanner and analyzed by drawing regions of interest around the spleen and the white pulp areas and cells were counted using FIJI. Numbers of cells were first normalized to the red and white pulp area, respectively, and a ratio of cell density in the white pulp to red pulp was then calculated.

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.
