FCM analysis was performed to analyze the expression of marker molecules, including CD11c, DEC205, CD4, CD8, CD45, CD25, Foxp3, and Gr-1, on the cell membranes, as well as intracellular cytokines, including IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2.24 (link) Cells stained with fluorescent dyes, such as CFSE and DiI, were also analyzed by FCM. The cells isolated from various tissues were incubated with the corresponding fluorescent dyes or monoclonal antibodies conjugated to FITC, PE, PerCP-Cy5.5, or APC for 30 min at 4°C in 1:100–150 dilutions. The following monoclonal antibodies were purchased from eBioscience (San Diego, California, USA) or BD Biosciences: anti-DEC205, anti-CD11c, anti-CD45, anticalreticulin (anti-CRT), anti-CD8, anti-IFN-γ, anti-TNF-α, anti-CD4, anti-CD25, anti-FOXP3, anti-Gr-1, anti-CD206, and anti-F4/80. Before intracellular cytokine staining, 2×106 splenocytes were stimulated with tumor lysates (5 µg/mL) in culture medium with 10% fetal calf serum and 2 µg/mL brefeldin A (BD Bioscience) for 6 hours at 37°C. The intracellular cytokines in splenocytes or TILs were stained using the Cytofix/Cytoperm kit (BD Bioscience) as per the manufacturer’s protocol. The stained cells were detected by FCM (CyFlow Cube 6; Sysmex, Japan), and the resultant data were analyzed to capture the FCM images with FlowJo software version 10 (Tree Star, Ashland, Oregon, USA).

The treated mice were euthanized on day 18 following tumor inoculation, and tumors were harvested. The tumors were dissected into fragments by cutting and digested by collagenase (0.5 mg/mL, MilliporeSigma) and DNase (1 μg/mL, MilliporeSigma) at 37°C for 45 minutes. The digested samples were then filtered through a 70 μm cell strainer and washed with PBS buffer. The cell pellets were incubated with RBC lysis buffer to lyse the RBCs. The cell suspensions were stained for the intracellular and extracellular protein markers of interest, and the stained samples were assessed on a flow cytometer (BD biosciences) along with CellQuest Pro software. The following staining antibodies used: anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD19, anti-Foxp3, anti-CD8, anti–granzyme B, anti–active caspase-3, and anti–IFN-γ (all from 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.
