Protocol to study the immune profile of syngeneic mouse tumor models

Flow cytometry, single-cell RNA sequencing, and other analyses enable us to capture immune profiles of the tumor microenvironment. Here, we present a protocol to characterize the immune profile of tumor-bearing mice. We describe steps for establishing mouse models and preparing single-cell suspensions from tumor tissue and other immune-related organs, which can be further analyzed by flow cytometry and other omics assays. We then detail procedures for staining, flow cytometry analysis, and phenotyping of the immune cell populations. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Miyauchi et al.¹.
