Mice were transcardially perfused with PBS and brains were removed and subjected to enzymatic digestion using the Neural Tissue Dissociation Kit (P) (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA). Myelin debris was removed with myelin removal beads II (Miltenyi) and cells were labeled with fluorescence-labeled CD11b (M1/70) (Biolegend, #101218), CD45 (30-F11) (BD # 553079), and Ly6G (Biolegend, #127618) antibodies. Microglia (CD11bhighCD45med), macrophages (CD11bhighCD45highLy6Glow), neutrophils (CD11bhighCD45highLy6Ghigh), and lymphocytes (CD11blowCD45high) were quantitated by FACS as previously described [29 (link)].
