Immunohistochemistry were performed on the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections using a Benchmark XT automated staining system (Ventana Medical Systems Inc., Tucson, AZ, USA). The primary antibodies used were: CD4, 1:10 and CD8, 1:50 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Fremont, CA, USA); CD68, 1:200 (Novocastra Laboratories Ltd, Newcastle, UK); CXCL10, 1:50; CXCL13, 1:50; and CXCR3, 1:20 (R & D Systems).

Aliquots of 1 × 105 cells were then incubated with primary antibodies at 10 µg/ml 4 °C for 30 min, washed twice with a flow cytometry buffer, and incubated with polyclonal rabbit anti‐mouse and goat anti‐rabbit immunoglobulins/fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugate (Dako Cytomation, Glostrup, Denmark) at 4 °C for 30 min. After two final washes, the cells were analyzed using a fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) CantoII Cytometer (Becton Dickinson). For isotype control, non‐specific mouse IgG was substituted for the primary antibody.

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.
