BMDMs were primed with recombinant mouse IFN-γ (10 ng/ml; BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) for 18 h before stimulation unless otherwise specified. M(IFNγ+LPS) and M(IFNγ+LPS+IC) were generated by adding Salmonella LPS (100 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or LPS in combination with IC. IC was prepared by adding a 10-fold molar excess of rabbit anti-OVA IgG to OVA (both from Sigma-Aldrich), and the complex was incubated for 30 min at room temperature (21 (link)). IC was used at a 1:100 volume ratio of IC to media for stimulation.

Stereotaxic injections were performed by Washington University's animal surgery core using a David Koft stereotaxic frame. Adult male and female Cxcr7GFP/+ animals were shaved and anesthetized with 2% isoflurane prior to surgery. The surgical site was cleaned with 75% ethanol, followed by 1% betadine. A 1.0 cm sagittal incision was made at the level of L2/L3 vertebrae for spinal cord injections or at the brain stem. A glass needle was inserted at the incision site using the Drummond Nanoject2. Stereotaxic injections were performed at a depth of 0.5 mm, just lateral to midline. A volume of 0.25 μl recombinant mouse TNFα (25 ng, R&D Systems), recombinant mouse IFNγ (25 ng, Biolegend), or vehicle (PBS) was injected. After microinjection, the dorsal muscle was sutured with 4–0 silk. The incision skin was pulled together using forceps and sutured using 4.0 nylon. The mice were kept on a heating pad until awake. Animals were sacrificed 72 hr postinjection.

Macrophage activation by amelogenin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The THP-1 human monocytic cell line and the RAW264.7 murine macrophage cell line were purchased from RIKEN BioResouce Center (Ibaraki, Japan). THP-1 cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan) containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin, and streptomycin at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Cells were sub-cultured every 48–72 h, inoculum being 5 × 105/mL, and cell viability (>95%) was confirmed by trypan blue exclusion. After the THP-1 cells were stimulated with 50 nM phorbol-myristate-acetate (PMA) (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 24 h, they were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) and replaced with PMA-free RPMI-1640 medium with FBS for another 24 h. These differentiated macrophages were pretreated with or without 10 μg/mL recombinant murine M180 amelogenin (rM180) for 24 h, and then stimulated with 2.5 ng/mL recombinant human IFNγ (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) for 24, 36, and 48 h. The murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7 (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Manassas, VA, USA) was maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Nacalai Tesque) containing 10% heat-inactivated FBS, penicillin, and streptomycin. RAW264.7 cells were stimulated in same manner as described for THP-1 cells using 2.5 ng/mL recombinant mouse IFNγ (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) and 10 μg/mL rM180.

Recombinant mouse IFN-γ (5×104 IU; BioLegend) was injected intravenous (i.v.) daily for 4 days. IFN-γ-treated animals were then subjected to PET/CT imaging and ex vivo biodistribution or lung tissue analysis by FACS. For FACS analysis, the lungs of treated mice were extracted, perfused via the right ventricle and rinsed with PBS to remove blood cells. Single-cell suspensions were generated with a Miltenyi lung dissociation kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were further stained with fluorochrome-conjugated mAbs, and PD-L1 expression was analyzed on a BD FACSVerse flow cytometer.

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.
