Blood was collected into EDTA tubes via cardiac bleeds and prepared using Dako Uti-Lyse erythrocyte lysing solution according to instructions. Blood was stained with AF647-labeled CSF1-Fc (6 (link)) and the following Abs: CD32APC (Clone REA256, 1:40) and CD161APC (Clone REA227, 1:40) from Miltenyi Biotec, B220PE (Clone His24, 1:400; eBioscience), CD4FITC (Clone W3/25, 1:10; Bio-Rad Laboratories), CD3AF488 (Clone 1F4, 1:200), and SIRPαPE (Clone OX-41, 1:400) from BioLegend. Myelin-depleted single-cell suspensions of brain were prepared as described in (21 (link)), except rats were perfused with physiological saline and heparin and then stained with CD45EF450 (Clone OX1, 1:200; eBioscience) and CD11b/cAF647 (Clone OX-42, 1:500; BioLegend). Peritoneal cavity cells were isolated as described in (22 (link)) and stained with SIRPαPE and CD11b/cAF488 as described above. Isotype controls were used for all flow cytometry data. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry on a FACSCalibur, LSRFortessa X-20 or LSRFortessa (BD Biosciences). Analysis was performed with FlowJo software (FlowJo).
