Cell depletion strategies:

… For depletion of CCR2⁺ cells, CCR2-DTR mice and control CCR2-DTR negative littermates received 250 ng of diphtheria toxin i.p. one day prior to infection and every other day thereafter in order to maintain depletion. Diphtheria Toxin was purchased from List Biological Laboratories (Campbell, CA), and reconstituted at 1 mg/ml in PBS. Aliquots were stored in 80C. The specificity and efficiency of depletion in the lung was confirmed by flowcytometric analysis.

Immunohistochemistry:

… However, the retrograde staining of preganglionic cardiac motoneurons was minimal using FG, so pericardial injections of Cholera Toxin B Subunit (CTB) Conjugate (List Laboratories, Inc.) were made in the other 16 rats (13 juvenile and 3 adult), but only after the juvenile rats first had been trained to dive underwater (vide supra). …

Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE):

Induction of EAE in C57BL/6 mice (N =18) was used as a model for multiple sclerosis (MS). EAE was induced by subcutaneous injections of 100 µg of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG₃₅₅₅; MEVGWYRSPFSRVVHLYRNGK, AnaSpec Inc., Fremont, CA) in complete Freunds adjuvant (incomplete Freunds adjuvant containing 4 mg/ml of heat-inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra; BD Biosciences, Mississauga, ON, Canada). An intravenous injection of 200 ng of pertussis toxin (PTX; List Biological Laboratories Inc., Campbell, CA) was also administered on days 0 and 2 of the immunization. …

Mice, peptides and EAE induction:

…EAE was induced as described [17] by subcutaneous immunization with MOG₃₅₅₅ (100 g/mouse) in Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA, Difco), containing 4 mg/ml of heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Difco). All mice were injected i.v. with 200 ng/mouse of Bordetella Pertussis toxin (PTX, List Biological Lab) on day 0 and 2 post-immunization. …

EAE induction and treatment:

…Chronic EAE was induced in the female C57Bl/6 mice by subcutaneous immunization with MOG₃₅₅₅ (Anaspec, San Diego, CA), which was emulsified in Complete Freund’s adjuvant with 8 mg/ml of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H35RA (Difco, Detroit, MI) in 11 ratio, and 100 µl (100 ng) of emulsified MOG₃₅₅₅ was injected sub-cutaneously at each side of the base of the tail respectively. Each mouse also received 100 µl (200 ng) of pertussis toxin (List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, CA) by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, and the injection of toxin was repeated 2 days later. …
