Freshly isolated femurs from PDGFRα‐lineage tracing mice were prepared into frozen tissue block as previously described [53 (link)] except the fixation was extended to overnight. Sixty‐micron thick cryosections were prepared on slides. After rehydration in PBS, the tissue was permeabilized in 0.5% Triton‐X‐100 in PBS for 15 min and then blocked in 3% BSA and 0.3% Triton‐X‐100 in PBS (diluent) for 1 h at room temperature. Tissues were stained with 10 μg/mL each of anti‐F4/80‐Alexa‐Fluor‐488 (BM8), anti‐PECAM‐1‐Alexa‐Fluor‐647 (390 and Mec13.3), and anti‐Sca1‐Brilliant‐Violet‐421 (D7) (all from Biolegend) in diluent at 4°C in the dark overnight. The slides were then washed and mounted for image stack acquisition by LSM880 (Zeiss). Fiji Image J was used for 3D‐stack examination of adherent monocytes on endothelium. Gamma (0.85) was applied to the tdTomato channel for simultaneous visualization of bright perivascular cells and dimmer PDGFRα‐lineage leukocytes in BM. For examination of AD skin, samples were process similarly as described except cryosections were prepared in 100 μm‐thick and stained with 10 μg/mL each of anti‐F4/80‐Alexa‐Fluor‐488 (BM8) and anti‐PECAM‐1‐Alexa‐Fluor‐647 (Mec13.3) (both from Biolegend).

Multicolor Immunofluorescence Imaging of Colon Tissue

Samples of the distal part of the colon were frozen and embedded in Optimal Cutting Temperature compound (Sakura). Frozen tissue sections were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde for 20 min. To prevent unspecific binding, sections were blocked for 1 h with blocking buffer consisting of 10% fetal calf serum (FCS; Pan-Biotech) and 1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich). Sections were double-stained with anti-F4/80-Alexa Fluor 488 (BM8; BioLegend) and anti-CD4-Alexa Fluor 647 (GK1.5; BioLegend) or rabbit anti-MPO (polyclonal; Abcam) in blocking buffer overnight at 4°C. For MPO staining, sections were additionally incubated with donkey anti-rabbit-IgG-Alexa Fluor 647 (Poly4064; BioLegend) for 2 h at room temperature in blocking buffer. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (Life Technologies). Images were recorded using the confocal microscope Leica TCS SP5II with Leica LasX software.

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.
