The rats were killed by intraperitoneal injection (10% chloral hydrated, 1 ml/100 g) and 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) was used to fix via cardiac perfusion. Coronal brain slices (15 μm thick) were prepared and used for staining. Slices were washed in PBS for 5 min, three times, then blotted in 5% goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. Slices were incubated with the primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Primary antibodies used: mouse anti-Iba1 (1:200 Sigma American), mouse anti-GFAP (1:200 Sigma American), rabbit anti-iNOS, anti-Arg1, anti-IL-1β, anti-TNF-α, anti-IL-4, anti-IL-6, and anti-IL-10 (1:200; Bioss, Beijing, China). After having been washed in PBS three times, these slices were incubated with secondary antibodies at 37°C for 2 h. Secondary antibodies: Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:200; Bioss, Beijing, China), Cy3-conjugated goat ant-mouse IgG (1:200; Bioss, Beijing, China). Then these slices were washed three times again and stained with DAPI (Biyuntian, China) for 5 min. Results were imaged using a 7266-fluorescence microscope (Leica, Japan).

Deparaffinization and antigen retrieval were performed in mouse melanoma lung metastasis using a PT-link system (Dako) and stained as previously described (13 (link)) The following antibodies were used for immune stainings: anti-iNOS, anti-CD206, anti-CD103, anti-Ki67, anti-granzyme B, anti-MPO, anti-CD86, anti-CD68, anti-MHC-II, anti-CD11b, anti-Ly6C, anti-Ly6G, and anti-PD-L1 all purchased from Abcam; anti-CD11c and anti-F4/80, purchased from BioLegend; anti-Foxp3 (Cell Signaling); anti-Arg1 (Bioss) and anti-CD8 (Dako) primary antibodies, anti-CD4 (BioLegend) and anti-CD25 (R&D Systems) followed by fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies. Images were acquired using an Axio Observer Light Microscope with the Apotome.2 (Zeiss). Metastatic melanoma lesions were gated by generating a region of interest (ROI), and threshold merge fluorescence was limited to ROI and calculated using the NIS-Elements Advanced Research 4.0 software (Nikon, Tokyo).

Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and then washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After being blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin containing 0.5% Triton X-100 for 1 h at 37°C, the microglia were incubated with the following primary antibodies at 4°C overnight: mouse anti-Iba1 (1:200, Bioss, Beijing, China), rabbit anti-iNOS, anti-Arg1, anti-IL-1β, anti-TNF-α, anti-IL-4, anti-IL-6 and anti-IL-10 (1:200, Bioss). After being washed in PBS three times, the cells were incubated with the following secondary antibodies at 37°C for 1 h: Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:200, Bioss) or Alexa Fluor Cy3-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:200, Bioss). After being washed in PBS three times, the cells were incubated with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Biyuntian, China) for 5 min. The cells were then washed in PBS and observed under a 7266-fluorescence microscope (Leica, Japan).

For protein extraction, 1 mL of NP-40 lysis buffer (Biyuntian) was transferred to each well of a six-well plate of microglia on ice for 30 min, and the cells were then centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min. The soluble protein solutions were then mixed with 5x sample buffer (Biyuntian) and boiled at 90oC for 10 min. Equal amounts of protein (60 μg) from each sample were separated via 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Sigma) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were blocked in 5% milk with Tris-buffered saline for 1 h, and then were incubated with the following primary antibodies at 4°C overnight: rabbit anti-iNOS, anti-Arg1 (1:500, Bioss) and rabbit anti-actin (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The membranes were washed three times in Tris-buffered saline with Tween and then incubated with the secondary antibody (peroxidase-conjugated IgG, 1:5000, Santa) at room temperature for 2 h. Binding antibodies were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence on an imaging system (Amersham Imager 600).

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.
