WT or BM8 mice were irradiated with 900 Rads and rested for 4 hours before reconstitution with either WT, BM8, or CD11c-DTR bone marrow. Bone marrow was isolated and red blood cells were lysed prior to intravenous transfer. At 12 weeks post reconstitution, mice were immunized as described above. For CD11c DTR experiments, mice were vaccinated and 100ng of diptheria toxin (DT) (Sigma Aldrich) was injected intraperitoneally at the indicated time points as previously described 23 (link).
