Protocol Overview

Manufacturer's protocol was followed. CD11c positive cells were purified from wild type and IFN-gamma receptor knockout splenocytes using CD11c microbeads following the manufacturer’s protocol. CD11c cells that were positively selected from the purification were Fc blocked for 5 min on ice. Cells were washed once then stained with 1:500 CD11c antibody and 1:1000 MHC class II I-Ad for 30min on ice. Cells were then washed twice and resuspended in facs buffer for analysis on the FACS Calibur.
