Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were immunized subcutaneously (s.c.) with a total protein dose corresponding to 5 μg of DS-Cav1 antigen on day 0. All proteins were formulated in PBS in a 1:1 ratio with AddaVax adjuvant (InvivoGen). Six to seven mice per group were sacrificed at day 7 after priming, and draining lymph nodes were collected and converted to cell suspensions. The total number of cells in each suspension was counted by trypan blue exclusion with a hemocytometer. One-fifth of the cell suspension was used for FACS counting. The total number of Tfh and GC B cells (plotted in Figure 6) was calculated by multiplying the percentage of detected Tfh or GC B cells by the total number of cells in each suspension. The following antibodies were used to identify Tfh cells and GC B cells: CD4 (RM4-5), PD-1 (RMP1-30), B220 (RA3-6B2) (Thermo Fisher Scientific), CD3ε (17A2), CD45.1 (A20), ICOS (7E.17G9) (BioLegend), CXCR5 (2G8), CD19 (1D3), FAS (Jo2) (BD Biosciences), and Peanut Agglutinin (PNA) (Vector Laboratories). Dead cells were excluded from counting by staining with 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD; BioLegend). Samples were acquired on a BD LSR Fortessa instrument and analyzed using the FlowJo software program (TreeStar).
