Murine glioma cells (GL261 and GL261-Luc) were a generous gift from Dr. G. Yancey Gillespie (UAB Brain Tumor Model Core Facility) and were grown in DMEM/F12 10% FBS, L-glutamine, and Pen/Strep as described [43 (link)]. Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) were isolated and cultured as previously described [14 (link)]. For immunoblotting experiments, antibodies for phospho-STAT3 (Y705) and total STAT3 were purchased from Cell Signaling (9131; 79D7), and GAPDH from AbCam (ab8245). For IHC, rabbit anti-Iba1 was purchased from Wako (019-19741), rabbit anti-vWf from Millipore (AB7356) and rabbit anti-Ki67 from Abcam (AB15580). For flow cytometry experiments, antibodies for CD45 (30-F11), CD11b (M1/70), Gr-1 (RB6-8C5), F4/80 (BM8), CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), Foxp3 (MF-14), CD25 (PC61) were purchased from BioLegend, iNOS (CXNFT) from eBioscience, and Arg1 (IC5868A) from R & D Systems [19 (link), 44 (link)]. The mouse cytokine/chemokine multiplex ELISA assay was purchased from EMD Millipore (MPXMCyto-70K).
