C57BL/6 mice were purchased from OrientBio (Gyeonggi-do, Korea) and TLR2- or MyD88-deficient mice with C57BL/6 background were kindly provided by Prof. Shizuo Akira (Osaka University, Osaka, Japan). DCs were prepared as previously described (30 (link)). Briefly, bone marrow cells were obtained by flushing the marrow space of tibiae and femurs with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After removing red blood cells (RBCs) using an RBC-lysing buffer (Sigma-Aldrich), bone marrow cells were cultured with RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 100 U/ml of penicillin, and 100 µg/ml of streptomycin in the presence of 20 ng/ml of mouse granulocyte/macrophage–colony stimulating factor (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) and 50 µM of 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich) for 6 days at 37°C. On day 6 post-culture, DCs were collected by centrifugation and used for experiments.

C57BL/6N mice were obtained from Nihon SLC (Hamamatsu, Japan). As previously described (Tanegashima et al., 2010 ), Cxcl14−/− male and Cxcl14+/− female mice with a C57BL/6 N background were crossed to produce Cxcl14+/− and Cxcl14−/− mice. LysM-Cre knock-in mice (Clausen et al., 1999 (link)) were obtained from RIKEN (RBRC02302), and CD11c-Cre (stock number 007567) and Cxcr4F/F (stock number 008767) mice were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME). Tlr9-KO mice (Hemmi et al., 2000 (link)) were obtained from Oriental Bioservice, Inc. (Kyoto, Japan).
BMDCs were prepared from 6-week-old C57BL/6N, Tlr9-KO, and Cxcr4-CKO mice by culturing bone marrow cells in RPMI-1640 medium (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (10 ng/ml; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ), and mouse IL-4 (10 ng/ml; Peprotech) for 10 days. Splenocytes were prepared from spleen removed from 6 to 8 week-old C57BL/6N mice. Red blood cells were lysed in RBC lysis buffer (140 mM NH4Cl, 17 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.6). All mice were housed in a pathogen-free animal facility under a 12 h light/dark cycle. All experimental procedures were pre-approved by the ethical committee of Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science.

Murine peritoneal macrophages were prepared by intraperitoneal injection of thioglycollate. The peritoneal cavity was infused with 5–10 ml PBS at 5 days after injection. The fluid-filled cavity was gently shaken and fluid was withdrawn19 (link). Bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) were prepared from bone marrow suspensions from the femurs and tibias in mice as described56 (link). Bone marrow cells were cultured in 10 ng ml−1 mouse granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (PeproTech) and the 10-day-cultured BMDCs were used for the experiment. THP-1 cells (RIKEN) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2-ME (Invitrogen), L-glutamine and penicillin/streptomycin (Nacalai). HEK293 cells (RIKEN) were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, L-glutamine and penicillin/streptomycin. To prepare human blood monocytes, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from heparinized whole blood using Ficoll-Paque PLUS (GE Healthcare) and then adhered on plastic flasks (Iwaki) for 3 h.

For Treg proliferation assays, FACS-sorted Foxp3.GFP+CD4+ Tregs were labeled with CFSE. CFSE-labeled Tregs (1×104 cells/well) and MACS-sorted dendritic cells (DC)s (1×105 cells/well) were plated in 200 μl T cell media (MEM-α with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 10 mM HEPES, and 1×10−5 M 2-mercaptoethanol) with mouse granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (10 ng/ml; PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) and human IL-2 (50 U/ml; PeproTech) in 96-well flat bottom plates. CD11c+ DCs were obtained from spleens of mice subcutaneously injected 8–10 days prior with FLT3L-expressing EL4 cells. Cells were cultured with or without the indicated factors at 37°C and analyzed by flow cytometry 4 days later.

Both ends of mouse femurs and tibias were cut and flushed with 5 mL of RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) by using a 27-gauge  1 / 2 -inch needle (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan). Bone marrow cells were strained (40-mm mesh) (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and seeded in complete medium that consisted of RPMI 1640 that contained 10% fetal bovine serum, 1 nonessential amino acids (Gibco), 20 mmol/L HEPES (Gibco), and 10 ng/mL mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) for macrophage differentiation. One-half of culture medium was replaced every 2 days with fresh complete medium. Differentiated macrophages were harvested after 7 to 10 days with Cellstripper (Corning Cellgro, Manassas, VA) and used for virus infection experiments.

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.
