Bone marrow cells were collected from femurs and tibia of both male and female 6‐ to 8‐week old C57BL/6J or C57BL/6NTac wild‐type mice. Collected cells were treated with red blood cell lysis buffer (155 mM NH4Cl, 12 mM NaHCO3, 0.1 mM EDTA) and plated on untreated 10 cm cell culture dishes (BD Biosciences) in IMDM (Gibco) containing 10% heat‐inactivated FBS, 100 units/ml penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco) and 15% L929 conditioned supplement. After 24 h, the cells in supernatant were transferred to untreated 10 cm Petri dishes (BD Biosciences) for 7 days for the differentiation into bone marrow‐derived macrophages (BMDMs) (Heap et al, 2021 (link)).
