CXCL12 was chemically synthesized as previously described (35 (link)). Full length HMGB1 and HMGB1-Histidine-tagged were produced and stored in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; D8537, Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, United States) at the Institute of Research in Biomedicine Protein Facility (Bellinzona, Switzerland), or purchased (1690-HMB, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, United States). The chosen sub-optimal concentrations of CXCL12 and the concentration of HMGB1 in each experiment were based on our previous findings (6 (link)).
