Immunofluorescence Analysis of Mouse Lung Tissue

Lungs were infused with 50% O.C.T. (Tissue-Tek) in PBS immediately after mice were killed. Lungs were subsequently frozen in 100% O.C.T. compound, followed by sectioning. 6 μm-thick sections of frozen lung tissue were cut, fixed in cold acetone at 4 °C for 20 min and then stored at −20 °C before staining. Antibodies raised against the following mouse antigens were used: CD3 (biotinylated, clone eBio500A2, Thermo Fisher), FoxP3 (APC conjugated, clone FJK-16 s, Thermo Fisher), GATA-3 (unconjugated, clone TWAJ, Thermo Fisher), IL-7Rα (efluor660 conjugated, clone A7R34, Thermo Fisher). Detection of GATA-3 expression required amplification of the signal: the primary antibodies were detected with donkey anti-rat-IgG-FITC (Jackson ImmunoResearch), then rabbit anti-FITC-AF488 (Life Technologies) and then with donkey anti-rabbit-IgG-AF488 (Life Technologies). Biotinylated anti-CD3 antibodies were detected with SA-AF555 (Life Technologies). Sections were counterstained with DAPI (Invitrogen) and mounted using ProLong Gold (Invitrogen). Slides were analyzed on a Zeiss 780 Zen microscope (Zeiss).

Immunofluorescent Staining of Mouse Tissue

Tissue sections from experimental mice were cut and stained as described previously (Mackley et al., 2015 (link)). Briefly, 6-μm-thick sections of tissue were cut, fixed in formalin at 4 °C for 20 min and then stored at −20 °C before staining. Antibodies raised against the following mouse antigens were used: CD3 (clone 145–2C11, dilution 1:100, eBioscience) IL-7Rα (clone A7R34, dilution 1:25, Thermo Scientific), purified RORγt (clone AFKJS-9, dilution 1:30, Thermo Scientific) and HLA-DR (clone M5/114.15.2, dilution 1:200, Biolegend). Detection of RORγt expression required amplification of the signal as described previously (Mackley et al., 2015 (link)). Purified rat primary antibodies against the transcription factors were detected with donkey anti-rat-IgG-FITC (dilution 1:100, molecular probes), and then rabbit anti-FITC-AF488 (dilution 1:100, molecular probes) or with donkey anti-rabbit-IgG-AF488 (dilution 1:100, molecular probes). Biotinylated anti-CD3 antibodies were detected with SA-AF555 (dilution 1:100, molecular probes). Sections were counterstained with DAPI (Invitrogen) and mounted using ProLong Gold (Invitrogen). Slides were analyzed on a Zeiss 780 Zen microscope (Zeiss).

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.
