Lung digests were filtered through 100-μm strainers (Fisher), subjected to red-cell lysis (eBioscience), and stained with PE-labeled antimouse podoplanin (eBioscience) and APC-labeled antimouse LYVE-1 (R&D), with Aqua (Biolegend) viability marker for dead-cell exclusion. Dual PE/APC+ live cells were analyzed by an LSRII (BD) cytometer. The quantity of dual-positive cells as a percentage of total cells was analyzed/plotted and used in statistical analyses comparing lungs from mutant versus control mice.

Single-cell suspensions of lymphoid organs were prepared by mechanic disruption through 100-μm strainers (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Red blood cells were lysed using Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium (ACK) buffer (Lonza, Walkersville, MD). Small intestinal and colonic lamina propria cells were prepared as previously described (Yuan et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, the intestine was physically emptied, opened longitudinally and sliced into 0.2–0.5 cm pieces, followed by incubating in 20 mL PBS containing 5 mM EDTA at 37°C on a shaker (200 x rpm) for 15 min. The intestine fragments were further digested in 20 mL RPMI 1640 containing 2% FBS, Collagenase D (1 mg/ml) (Roche) and DNase I (0.1 mg/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37°C on a shaker (200 x rpm) for 45 min. Samples were collected by passing through 70 μm cell strainers. The cells were then purified using a 40/80% Percoll (GE Healthcare Life Science) gradient by centrifugation (900 x g, 20 min, no break at room temperature). The interphase was harvested and washed. The cells were resuspended in PBS containing 0.2% bovine serum albumin or medium containing fetal calf serum before extra/intracellular staining.

Tumor bearing mice were euthanized in accordance with institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approval (#20027-H). PDX were harvested and cut into 2-mm pieces, connective tissue, blood vessels and necrotic tissue was discarded and then transferred into 50-mL Falcon tubes with RPMI, 2% Penicillin/Streptomycin, collagenase 5 (Worthington 1 mg/mL), neutral protease (Worthington 0.5U/ml) and DNAse (Roche, 1 μg/mL), and digested while rotating at 37°C until digestion was complete (Benchmark scientific Roto-therm). All following steps were done on ice or at 4°C. The digested tissue was passed through a 200-μm (Pluriselect) strainer using a syringe plunger for remaining pieces, and then through a 100-μm strainer (Fisher). The cells were spun down at 321×g for 5 minutes at 4°C and the pellet depleted of red blood cells by a 10-second exposure to 1 mL of water followed by the addition of 49 mL of PBS. The cells were counted and plated on collagen coated plates for in vitro experiments. For in vitro experiments, the cells from PDX tumors were subjected to mouse cell depletion according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Miltenyi Biotec).

MLN lymphocytes were obtained by mechanical disruption and filtered through a 70μm cell strainer in staining buffer [2% FBS (Sigma), 1mM EDTA (Invitrogen), 500ml PBS (GIBCO)]. DC isolation from the small intestinal draining MLN was performed by digestion with collagenase IV (0.5 mg/mL, Sigma–Aldrich) and DNase I (12.5 μg/mL, Roche) diluted in R10 media (RPMI 1640 + 10% FCS) for 40 min at room temperature, followed by mechanical disruption and filtering through a 70μm cell strainer. For the isolation of small intestinal lamina propria (SILP) lymphocytes, the intestine was opened longitudinally after removal of Peyer’s Patches and fat and cut into small pieces. Tissue pieces were incubated on a shaker in HBSS containing 2% FBS and 2mM EDTA at 37°C for three rounds (first round 10 mins, followed by two rounds of 15 mins each). Buffer exchange was performed by discarding the supernatant through a nylon mesh, retaining the tissue pieces. Subsequently, the remaining tissue was digested in RPMI medium (Gibco) containing 10% FBS, 58μg/ml Liberase TM (Roche) (amounting to 0.3 WünschU/ml) and 30μg/ml DNase I (Roche) on a magnetic stirrer for 20 mins at 37°C. Upon digestion, the cell suspension was filtered through a 100μm strainer (Fisher Scientific) and lymphocytes were enriched by density gradient centrifugation with 40%/70% Percoll (GE Healthcare).

An additional immunofluorescence assay with hiPSC-derived NSCs was performed on two samples each of Matrigel-coated PEDOT: PSS ink and plastic, as control. The ink was printed in a square shape of 8 × 8 mm, with the combination of parameters: Ønozzle = 300 μm, s = 25 mm/min, A = 40 sccm, S = 80 sccm, T = 40°C, and for 20 layers. Post-printing curing was performed in a thermal oven (Heraeus) at T = 150°C for 8 min. Later, Matrigel (Thermo-Fisher Scientific) was drop casted on each sample for 1 h at 37°C. NSCs were filtered with a 100 μm strainer (FisherScientific) in order to collect a single cell suspension. Cells were then plated at a concentration of 5 × 104 cells cm−2 and later deposited on the substrates. The samples were incubated for 30 min and eventually filled with an adequate volume of Neural Expansion Medium (Thermo-Fisher Scientific). The well-plate was finally incubated at 37°C in an atmosphere at 5% CO2, over a period of 4 days. The same procedure for the NTE substrates was then applied to these specimens.

Human-iPSC-derived NSCs [65, (link)66] (link) were used to perform cell compatibility tests on three samples of PAN+CNT carbonized fibres. The substrates were positioned in a 24-well plate then washed with PBS and sterilized in an autoclave. A Matrigel (Thermo-Fisher Scientific) coating was applied for 1 h at 37 °C. NSCs were passed through a 100 μm strainer (Fisher Scientific) to obtain a single cell suspension and plated at 5×10 4 cells cm -2 . A concentrated cell suspension was deposited on the samples and incubated for 20 min before filling the 24-well plate with the appropriate volume of StemPro NSC SFM (Thermo-Fisher Scientific). Cells were maintained at 37 °C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO 2 . After 5 days in culture, the cells were fixed and permeabilized using Fix&Perm-Reagent kit (SIC), blocked for 45 min with iBindTM Buffer solution (Invitrogen) and stained with Phalloidin, specific for the cytoskeletal component of the cells. Cell nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 to show the living cells. Samples were observed with an inverted fluorescence microscope (Olympus IX70).

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.
