C57BL/6 (WT) and Rag1–/–/VH81X mice were maintained in accordance with local and Home Office rules and ARRIVE guidelines under Project Licence 80/2529.
For each biological replicate, bone marrow from nine 6- to 8-week-old Rag1−/−/VH81X mice (47 (link), 48 (link)) or from fifteen 12-week-old male wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice was incubated with biotinylated antibodies against CD11B (MAC-1; ebioscience), Ly6G (Gr-1; ebioscience), Ly6C (Abd Serotec), TER119 (ebioscience), and CD3E (ebioscience) followed by incubation with streptavidin MACs beads (Miltenyi), to deplete macrophages, granulocytes, erythroid lineage, and T cells. Pre-B cells (surface IgMCD25+B220+CD19+) were then flow sorted on a BD FACSAria in the Babraham Institute Flow Cytometry facility. Antibodies used were CD45R BV421 (B220, RA3-6B2, Biolegend), CD19 PerCP-Cy5.5 (1D3, BD Pharmingen), CD25 APC (PC61.5, eBioscience), and IgM PE (eB121-15F9, eBioscience). Sort purities were all greater than 92%.

Single cell suspensions from lungs and spleens were prepared by chopping tissue into small pieces followed by digestion with Liberase DL (Roche) at 37°C for 30 min. RBC were removed by treatment with ACK lysis buffer followed by washing with PBS pH 7.4. Cells were treated with fixable viable dye (eBiosciences) for 30 min at 4°C in the dark. Fc receptors were blocked with anti-CD16/32 for 10 min at 4°C in the dark. Finally, cells were resuspended in staining buffer (PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% BSA and 0.01% NaN3) and stained at saturating concentrations of antibodies specific for CD11b, #83-0112; CD45, #86-0451; Ly-6C, #48-5932; Ly-6G (GR-1), #17-9668; and CD4, #83-0042 (eBiosciences). Samples were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde solution for 20 min and data collected using an LSRII flow cytometer (Becton-Dickenson) and analyzed using Winlist Software (Verity Software House, Inc.), FlowJo Software (Tree Star, Inc.).

The 5-methoxytryptamine-α-lipoic acid (MLA) was synthetized using α-lipoic acid and 5-methoxytryptamine at the drug department of the Institute of Radiation Medicine, CAMS. Melatonin (MLT) was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). MLA and MLT were dissolved in a 5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution.

Bone marrow was flushed from 12–15 12-week (young) or 19–22 month (aged) healthy male C57BL/6 mice per replicate and depleted of macrophages, granulocytes, erythroid lineage, and T cells using biotinylated antibodies against Cd11b (MAC-1; ebioscience), Ly6G (Gr-1; ebioscience), Ly6C (Abd Serotec), Ter119 (ebioscience), and Cd3e (ebioscience) followed by streptavidin MACs beads (Miltenyi). Thereafter, pro-B (B220+CD19+CD43+CD25IgM) and pre-B (B220+CD19+CD43-CD25+IgM) cells were flow sorted on a BD FACSAria in the Babraham Institute Flow Cytometry facility. Antibodies used were CD45R BV421 (B220, RA3-6B2, Biolegend), CD19 PerCP-Cy5.5 (1D3, BD Pharmingen), CD43 FITC (S7, BD Pharmingen), CD25 APC (PC61.5, eBioscience), and IgM PE (eB121-15F9, eBioscience). Purities were > 85% for pro-B and > 90% for pre-B.
The flow cytometry data were quality checked using the automated method in FlowAI [63 (link)] and low-quality events were filtered out. Lymphocytes, singlets, and B220 positive cells were gated using FlowJo V10.1 software (FlowJo, LLC) and all compensated parameters were exported for subsequent analysis. Target populations were also manually gated and exported. A tSNE plot was constructed using the Rtsne package with default parameters [64 ]. To identify populations of interest, manual gates were projected onto the tSNE plot.

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.
