a, Experimental design for injections for skull bone marrow egress experiments. AMD3100 (10 μg) or artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) was injected intra-cisterna magna (i.c.m.), and mice were left for 24 hours. The following day, tissues were processed for immunolabeling or flow cytometry. b, Representative images of Ly6b+ cells and CD3+ cells in non-sinus regions of the dura. Scale bar: 200 μm. c, d, Regional analysis of Ly6b+ myeloid and CD3+ cells in the dura following AMD3100 administration. n = 3 mice per group. Data are means ± SEM, p values represent two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s post hoc test. e, Flow cytometry gating strategy for neutrophils, Ly6Chi monocytes, macrophages, and T cells in the bone marrow following AMD3100 administration. f, g, Relative numbers of neutrophils, Ly6Chi monocytes, macrophages, and T cells in the skull and tibial bone marrow 24 hours following i.c.m. AMD3100 administration. n = 5 mice per group. Data are means ± SEM, p values represent a two-sided Student’s t test.
