Peripheral blood samples were collected before surgery, and preserved in heparinized tubes at 4 °C until experimentation (within 2 h). After adding RBC Lysis Buffer.
(Thermo Fisher Scientific), white blood cells were extracted. Surgically-resected RCC samples were freshly minced and digested with collagenase IV (Sigma) and DNase I (Sigma) at 37 °C, strained through a 70-µm strainer, and then treated with RBC Lysis Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After Fc receptors blockade, peripheral white blood cells, or single cell suspensions, were stained at 4 °C with fluorescently labeled membrane marker antibodies for 30 min. Intracellular proteins were stained with appropriate antibodies after being dissolved in Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Peripheral white blood cells, or single cell suspensions, were stained with antibodies labeled with fluorochrome and maintained with cell staining buffer. Flowjo v10.0 was used for analyzing BD LSRFortessaTM X-20 (BD Biosciences) FACS data (Tree Star). Supplementary Table S3 provides information about antibodies in detail.

Whole blood samples were analyzed for complete blood counts and leukocyte differentials utilizing the Advia 120 Hematology Analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics). For the isolation of PBMCs, human blood samples underwent centrifugation at 282g for 10 minutes. Subsequently, supernatants were removed for plasma preparation as previously described (73 (link)), and white cell pellets were subjected to density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll (GE Healthcare) to isolate PBMCs.
Mouse white blood cells were prepared from whole blood by lysing RBCs with RBC Lysis Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Plasma was obtained from the whole blood supernatant through centrifugation at 500g for 10 minutes. Mouse liver single-cell suspensions were generated using a liver dissociation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) in combination with the gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. RBCs within the organ single-cell suspensions were lysed using RBC Lysis Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Workflow for Single-Cell Analysis of Tumor Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Before surgery, peripheral blood samples were collected from venous blood and preserved in heparin anticoagulant tubes at 4°C until experimentation (within 2 h). White blood cells were extracted by RBC Lysis Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). RCC samples were obtained and examined just after surgical resection. At 37°C, freshly minced tumor samples were digested with collagenase IV (Sigma) and DNase I (Sigma), and then strained through a 70 μm strainer. The samples were then treated in RBC Lysis Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After blocking Fc receptors, single‐cell suspensions and white blood cells were stained separately for 30 min at 4°C with fluorescently labeled membrane marker antibodies. Intracellular proteins were stained with appropriate antibodies after being dissolved in Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer's instructions. White blood cells and cell suspensions were stained with antibodies labeled with fluorochrome and maintained with cell staining buffer. Flowjo v10.0 was used to analyze BD LSRFortessaTM X‐20 (BD Biosciences) FACS data (Tree Star). Antibodies in detail are described in a previous publication.26

Mycobacterial Infection in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6 or Ccr2−/− mice were infected with ~1–5 × 107 CFU M. bovis BCG intravenously. Eighteen and thirty days after infection mice were sacrificed and spleen size and weight were measured. Spleen, blood, and bone marrow were analyzed by flow cytometry for frequency of progenitors and other immune cells. Spleens were analyzed for granuloma formation by confocal microscopy. Briefly, mice were lethally anesthetized and blood was collected from the retroorbital plexus with capillaries containing anti-coagulant (EDTA), followed by a RBC lysis (eBioscience™ 1X RBC Lysis Buffer). Bone marrow was collected by flushing femoral bones with FACS buffer (1% FBS, 2 mM EDTA). Spleens were smashed through a 70 µm strainer and RBC lysis (eBioscience™ 1X RBC Lysis Buffer) was performed. After washing cells were resuspended in FACS buffer (1% FBS, 2 mM EDTA), blocked for unspecific binding with anti-FcR antibody and stained in the dark for 30 min at 4 °C. Details on antibodies used are presented in the section: Surface and intracellular staining. Cells were analyzed at a 3-laser flow cytometer (Gallios™, Beckman Coulter) and processed with the Kaluza software (v1.5, Beckman Coulter).

Livers were perfused with PBS and force filtered through a 100 μm nylon cell strainer (BD Biosciences). Whole liver cell suspensions were incubated with RBC lysis buffer (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), washed with PBS-3% FBS and a small fraction was first analyzed with CD45 (BD Biosciences) or Ly6G (Biolegend, San Diego, CA) antibodies by flow cytometry to assess the specificity of infiltrated cells in the entire liver. Next, to separate infiltrated cells, whole liver cell suspensions were centrifuged at 50 g for 1 min to remove hepatocytes. Infiltrated cells were further purified by Polymorphprep (CosmoBio USA, Carlsbad, CA) and layers of mononuclear and polymorphonuclear cells were recovered, following the manufacturer’s protocol. Purified infiltrated cells were incubated with RBC lysis buffer (eBioscience), washed with PBS-3% FBS, incubated with antibody cocktail, FITC-CD45 (BD Biosciences), Alexa405-CD11b (eBioscience), PEcy5.5-Ly6G (Biolegend), PE-ICAM (BD Biosciences) for 30 min on ice, and washed with PBS-3% FBS. For each time point the data obtained from Jo2-treated hBid−/− mice (n = 4) were corrected to data from saline-treated hBid−/− mice (n = 3). All cell suspensions were analyzed by Flow cytometer, BD LSR II (BD Biosciences), and data were analyzed by FlowJo software.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spleens were collected from terminated mice, transferred to C-tubes (Miltenyi) containing 2.7 ml RPMI medium (Sigma-Aldrich) and kept on ice. Immediately before dissociation, 300 μl of a 10X Collagenase IV (1,250 U/ml; Thermo Fisher Scientific) /DNase I (10 MU; Sigma-Aldrich) enzyme cocktail was added. The C-tubes containing the spleens were placed in a gentleMACS Dissociator (Miltenyi) for tissue dissociation. Subsequently, the dissociated spleens were incubated at 37°C for 10 min under constant horizontal shaking (300 rpm). After the incubation, the spleen was further disrupted using program m_spleen_03 and kept on ice until splenocyte isolation. The dissociated spleen was centrifuged for 2 min at 300 g and filtrated through a 70 μm cell strainer (Corning, NY) and centrifuged again (300 g for 5 min at 4°C). The filtrate was then incubated with 1X RBC lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) on ice for 5 min. The suspension was neutralized by addition of 15 ml RPMI. After centrifugation (300 g for 5 min 4°C), the splenocytes were resuspended in complete RPMI medium. The cells were stained with 5 μM CFSE for 20 min at room temperature in the dark. Then, excess stain was removed, and the cells were resuspended in complete RPMI and seeded.

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.
