Mice were maintained on the C57BL/6 background in a specific pathogen-free facility. RBP-J-floxed (RBP-Jf) mice (12 (link)) or ROSA-Stopf-NIC transgenic mice (14 (link)) were mated with Lyz2-Cre (#019096, Jackson Laboratory) mice to obtain mice with myeloid-specific Notch blockade (Lyz2-Cre-RBP-Jf/f, with Lyz2-Cre-RBP-J+/f as a control) or activation (Lyz2-Cre-ROSA-Stopf-NIC, with ROSA-Stopf-NIC as a control) mice, respectively. Mice were genotyped with tail DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers listed in Table S1 in Supplementary Material. All animal experiments were approved by the Animal Experiment Administration Committee of Fourth Military Medical University.

All mice were housed in pathogen-free facilities under 12-h light dark cycles with access to food and water ad libitum. Temperature was set 74°F +/− 2° with humidity 30–70%. C9orf72−/− mice were as previously published7 (link) and wildtype mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratories. C9orf72fl/fl mice were provided by the Pasterkamp lab12 (link) and were crossed with Cx3cr1Cre (B6J.B6N(Cg)-Cx3cr1tm1.1(cre)Jung/J) and Lyz2Cre (B6.129P2-Lyz2tm1(cre)Ifo/J) purchased from Jackson Laboratories to obtain Cx3cr1Cre;C9orf72fl/fl and Lyz2Cre;C9orf72fl/fl mice. The STING golden-ticket (STINGgt/gt) mouse was obtained from Jackson Laboratories (C57BL/6J- Tmem173gt/J). C9orf72−/− mice were crossed with STINGgt/gt to obtain C9orf72−/−;STINGgt/gt mice. All mice have the nuclear background of C57BL/6J. Mice were sex- and age-matched. For all experiments mice were grouped according to genotype. For EAE and B16 melanoma models genotypes were randomly separated into experimental groups. Researchers were blinded when scoring EAE, counting tumor burden in B16 melanoma model. Husbandry and behavioral tests were conducted in accordance with the protocols described by the National Institutes of Health’s Guide for the Care and Use of Animals and were approved by Cedars-Sinai Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC #8161).

Example 1

Lyz2-cre (The Jackson Laboratory), 2.3-kB Col1a1-cre, and Y1 flox/flox mice were used in order to remove a Y1 receptor in osteoblasts and macrophages. The mice were disposed in an experimental group by using a block randomization method. In order to eliminate prejudice, data collection and data analysis were never involved. All mice experiments were approved by Kyungpook National University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

All animal studies were approved by the Harvard Medical Area Standing Committee on Animal Research. Animals were housed in a pathogen-free barrier facility at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Bmal1fl/fl (stock # 007668), Hif1a fl/fl (stock # 007561), and Lyz2-Cre (stock # 004781) mice in the C57BL/6J background were obtained from Jackson laboratories and were originally contributed by Drs Charles Weitz, Dmitriy Lukashev, and Irmgard Foerster, respectively. Floxed mice were crossed with Lyz2-Cre mice to generate myeloid-specific Bmal1 and Hif1a knockout mice. Myeloid-specific Bmal1 knockout mice were crossed with Hif1afl/fl mice, and the resulting heterozygotes were crossed to generate myeloid-specific Bmal1 and Hif1a double-knockout mice. The genotypes were validated by both DNA genotyping and mRNA expression. Gender- and age-matched mice of between 8–24 weeks of age were used for experiments. Similar results were obtained from male and female mice.

All mice were bred and maintained under specific pathogen‐free conditions at Karolinska Institutet or at the University of Zurich. All animal experiments were approved and performed in accordance with national and cantonal animal care guidelines and ethical permits. We generated two lines of LysMCreTgfbr2fl/fl mice: Tgfbr2fl/fl mice were imported from Dr. Ming Li at Sloan Kettering Institute, or obtained from Dr. Per Levéen, Lund University. LysMCre mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory (Lyz2‐Cre) or directly from Dr. Irmgard Förster, University of Cologne, and bred to obtain LysMCreTgfbr2fl/fl mice (LysMCre/+Tgfbr2fl/fl) and littermate controls (LysMCre/+TGFbR2fl/wt or LysM+/+TGFbR2fl/fl). The animals were crossed for >10 generations to C57BL6.

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.
