Flow cytometry was carried out as previously described [11 (link)]. The mice were killed by cervical dislocation, and the tumor tissue was harvested, cut up, and incubated with 488 U/ml collagenase I (Sigma, #C0130), 230 U/ml collagenase Xi (Sigma, #C7657), 125 U/ml hyaluronidase (Sigma, #H3506), and 60 U/ml DNase I (Sigma, #d4527) at 37° C for 45 min. The digest was filtered by a 70 μm cell filter, and 1×107 cells were stained with an FITC-conjugated F4/80 antibody from Abcam and a PE-conjugated CD206 antibody from R&D Systems and analyzed by flow cytometry.
