Protein extraction and Western blot analysis were performed as described (Schock et al., 2008 (link)). A custom rabbit antibody against IRF2BP2 was described previously (Teng et al., 2011 (link)). Cryostat sections (20 μm) were subjected to cresyl violet staining and immunofluorescence. Immunofluorescence images were acquired on a Zeiss Z1 fluorescent microscope. Primary antibodies used and their dilutions are: MHCII (Biolegend #107602, anti-rat 500× dilution), CD68 (Santa Cruz, sc70761, anti-mouse, 500×), CD206 (Santa Cruz, sc34577, anti-goat, 500×), Iba1 (WAKO, #019-19741, anti-rat, 500×), NeuN (Millipore MAB377, anti-mouse, 500×), and GFAP (Santa Cruz, sc170, anti-goat, 500×). Cy2-, cy3-, cy5-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson Labs) were used at 1000× dilution. For immunofluorescence images, three independent fields at 20× magnification from six sections were imaged and CD206+ and CD68+ cells counted using imageJ.

Pancreata and spleens were harvested at indicated time points and mechanically disrupted in RPMI. Pancreata were then subjected to enzymatic digestion using RPMI + 10%FBS + 3.6 mg/mL collagenase D (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Red blood cells from both pancreata and spleens were lysed using red blood cell lysing solution (eBioscience) and the resultant suspension was filtered using a 70-µm cell strainer to remove any resultant debris. Cells were then stained for intracellular and surface antigens as previously described (Surana et al 2014 (link)). The following antibodies were used for surface antigen staining:CD45 (Biolegend; clone 30-F11), CD4 (eBioscience; clone RM4-5), CD8a (Biolegend; clone 53-6.7), CD3 (Biolegend; clone 145-2C11), F4/80 (Biolegend; clone BM8), MHCII (Biolegend; cloneM5/114.15.2), Gr1(Biolegend; clone RB6-8C5), CD11b (Biolegend; clone M1/70), CD11c (Biolegend; clone N418), CD19 (BD Bioscience; clone1D3). In order to isolate CD45+CD3+CD8+ CTLs and CD45+CD3F4/80+ macrophages, CD45+ leukocytes were first divided into CD3+ or CD3 fractions, and the CD8+CD4 subpopulation among CD45+CD3+ cells and the F4/80+ subpopulation within CD45+CD3 cells were collected using BD FACSAria II (BD Biosciences).

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.
