The C57BL/6 mice at the age of 18–22 weeks were killed and removed the epididymal adipose tissues and minced it into small pieces (∼2 mm). Then the pieces of adipose tissues were collected and incubated them at 37°C for about 2 hours in collagenase II with gentle stirring. The digested tissues were centrifuged at 500 g for 5 min. The resultant pellet containing the total lymphocytes were re-suspended in PBS and filtered it through a 100 M mesh, and we finally re-suspended them in 100 μl PBS supplemented with 5% FBS. All these cells were incubated with FITC-CD11c, PE-CD40, CD80, CD86, MHCI, MHCII (eBioscience, San Diego, CA) conjugated antibodies or respective isotype controls for 30 min at 4°C. All the staining was performed according to manufacturers' protocol. Flow cytometry was performed using FACS Calibur instrument (Becton Dickinson) and WinMDI 2.8 software was used to analyze the data.

BMDC were generated from bone marrow progenitor cells as described previously43 (link). Briefly, progenitor cells were obtained by flushing tibia and femur from BALB/c mice and cultured at 37 °C under 5% CO2 in Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s media supplemented by FCS (10%), gentamycin (50 µg/ml), glutamine (2 mM), β-mercaptoethanol (50 µM) and 10% of supernatant from a granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-expressing J588 myeloma cell line for 10 days. On day 10, cells were stimulated by bacteria (ratio bacteria/cell: 10:1). After 24 h stimulation, BMDC were harvested, washed and stained using mAbs anti-CD11c PE-Cy7, CD40 PE, CD80 FITC, CD86 PE-Cy5, MHCII APC (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) and acquired on BD FACS Canto II (Becton Dickinson).

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.
