Preparations

… The preparation of the keratinocyte culture medium (KCM) is as follows; Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Sigma aldrich, MO, USA) and F-12 medium (Sigma aldrich) were mixed at a 3:1 ratio. The medium was supplemented with 3.3 mM l-glutamine solution (Sigma Aldrich), 84 μM gentamicin (Merck Sharp and Dohme, NJ, USA), 0.3 μM amphotericin B (Bristol-Myers Squibb, NY, USA), 0.25 μM hydrocortisone (Kowa, Nagoya, Japan), 140 mU/mL insulin (Lilly, IN, USA), 2.0 nM 3,3′,5-Triiodo-l-thyronine (MP Biomedicals, CA, USA), 1.0 nM cholera toxin (List Biological Laboratories, CA, USA), …

Materials and methods

Jak2V617F transgenic (TG) mice were generated as previously described [12]. CD11b-diphtheria toxin receptor (DTR) TG mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA) [13]. These mice were crossed to generate Jak2V617F/CD11b-DTR compound TG. To deplete monocytes in vivo, recipient mice transplanted with BMCs from CD11b-DTR TG mice or Jak2V617F/CD11b-DTR TG mice were administered 15 ng/g diphtheria toxin (DT) (List Biological Labs, Campbell, CA, USA) by intraperitoneal injection every 2 days for 8 weeks. …

Active-induced EAE Models (aEAE) and adoptive-transferred EAE (tEAE) models

… At 0 and 24 hours after immunization, mice were intraperitoneally injected with pertussis toxin (250 ng per mice, List Biological, Campbell, CA, USA).

In Vivo Cell Depletion

To ablate specific cells, CCR2-DTR, CCR2-DTR, Rag2-/-Il2rg-/-, ROSA26-iDTRMrp8-Cre, BDCA2-DTR, and non-transgenic littermate controls were injected i.p. with 10 ng/g body weight DT on Day -1, Day 0, and Day +2 pi (Espinosa et al., 2017, Swiecki et al., 2010), unless noted otherwise.

Lipopolysaccharides

We used the phenol–water method described by Westphal [25] to extract and purify the LPSs and cores from E. coli and Salmonella. The strains of E. coli that were used to obtain the LPSs and cores were as follows: … the core Ra came from S. minnesota (List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, C A, USA). The LPSs and cores were treated with DNase, RNase, and proteinase K. …
