Investigation of pre-cDC production in co-cultures. The presence of pre-cDC was investigated in (A) cells collected from 14-day co-cultures of C57BL/6J Lin BM over 5G3 stroma, and in (B) C57BL/6J BM. Progenitors were gated as a Lin subset using FSC and SSC plots. Pre-cDC were detected by staining for c-kit, Sca-1, Flt3, CD11c, CD45RB, CD43, and Sirpα. Propidium iodide (PI) was added to allow gating of PI live cells. Gates were set on bivariate plots using isotype control antibodies, and numbers on gates reflect % positive cells. Using the gating strategy shown in (B), pre-cDC were sorted out of BM for co-culture above 5G3 stroma. (C) Production of dendritic-like cells in pre-cDC co-cultures was assessed in relation to Lin BM co-cultures after 14 days following gating of large cells on a bivariate CD11c versus CD11b plot, and analysis of expression of CD11c, CD11b, MHC-II, and CD8α.
