Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole lung was removed following cardiac perfusion with PBS. Lungs were minced and digested in HBSS containing 1 mg/ml Liberase (0.1 mg/ml final). Cells were filtered using a 70 μm cell strainer and the red blood cells lysed. For IL-33-induced ILC2 activation in vivo, animals were injected intraperitoneally once daily with 500 ng IL-33 (BioLegend) or, as a control, with PBS for four days unless otherwise indicated. In some experiments, mice received daily intraperitoneal injections of IL-33 plus IL-2/anti-IL-2 complexes (IL-2c), made by mixing 1 μg recombinant murine IL-2 (eBioscience) and 5 μg anti-IL-2 monoclonal antibody (JES6-1A12) (Bio X Cell) and incubating for 30 min at 37 °C before co-injection with IL-33 in a final volume of 200 μl in PBS. Lung cells were stained for ILC2 or eosinophils with indicated antibodies, and analyzed using a LSRII or isolated using a FACS Aria III (BD Biosciences). Sort purities were >95%.

Isolation of Lung and Intestinal Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole lung was removed following a 5 ml injection of PBS into the right ventricle of the heart. Lungs were minced and digested in HBSS containing 1 mg/ml Liberase with 10 U/ml DNase I (Roche Diagnostics). Cells were filtered using a 70 μm cell strainer and red blood cells lysed. For CD27 labeling, 0.5 mg/ml collagenase type VIII (Sigma) was used. For IL-33 induced ILC2 expansion in vivo, animals were injected intraperitoneally once daily with 500 ng IL-33 (BioLegend) or with PBS for four days.
Colons were removed, opened longitudinally and washed in PBS to remove fecal content. Intestines were cut into two centimeter segments, transferred into HBSS supplemented with 2% FBS and 2 mM EDTA, and shaken for 15 min at 37°C. This step was repeated twice in order to remove epithelial cells and fat tissue. The remaining intestinal tissue was washed, cut in small segments and incubated in digestion media consisting of RPMI 1640, 2% FBS, 0.5 mg/ml collagenase type VIII, 5 U/ml DNase, 100 IU/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin for 40 min at 37°C by gentle shaking. Digested suspensions were filtered, washed in PBS and cells were collected for analysis.

For IL-33-mediated ILC2 expansion, age-matched female mice between 8 and 10 weeks of age were anesthetized with isoflurane and exposed intranasally to 1 μg IL-33 (catalogue number 580506, BioLegend) in 30 μl of PBS on days 0, 1, 2 and 3. Control mice received only PBS. About 16 h later lungs were isolated for analysis as described in the previous section.

BMDM were differentiated as described previously17 (link). Bone marrow cells from WT mice were cultured in the presence of M-CSF (20 ng ml−1, R&D Systems) in a petri dish (BD OPTILUX). After 7 days, the macrophages (1 × 107 per 10 ml) were stimulated with IL-4 (30 ng ml−1, R&D Systems), IL-13 (30 ng ml−1, R&D Systems), IL-33 (30 ng ml−1, BioLegend) (M2 differentiation); or LPS (1 μg ml−1, E. coli 0111:B4, Sigma-Aldrich), IFN-γ (200 ng ml−1, R&D Systems), M-CSF (5 ng ml−1, R&D Systems) (M1 differentiation); or M-CSF (5 ng ml−1, R&D Systems) alone (M0 macrophages) for 2 days. In some experiments, macrophages were cultured with 10 ng ml−1 IL-4 (R&D Systems) and/or 20 ng ml−1 IL-33 (BioLegend) for 2 days. At the end of cultures, the cells were used for FACS and supernatants for cytokine analysis by ELISA.

Murine model of Strongyloides ratti infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The S. ratti cycle was maintained in Wistar rats and infections were performed by s.c. infection of 2000 L3 in in 30 μl PBS into the hind footpad of mice as described [49 (link),50 (link)]. Parasite burden in tissue and intestine and quantification of the S. ratti 28S RNA-coding DNA in the faeces of infected mice was performed as described [50 (link)]. For IL-33 treatment 1μg rec IL-33 (Biolegend, Catalogue Nr. 580508) was applied either i.p. in 200 μl PBS or i.n. in 20 μl PBS either 3 h before and 1 day after S. ratti infection or at days 4 and 5 of S. ratti infection. Some mice received 350 μg anti Gr-1 (clone RB6-8C5) at -1 and day 1 of S. ratti infection. Depletion of cells was verified by flow cytometry (S3 Fig).

Bone marrow-derived eosinophils were incubated with LPS (Sigma-Aldrich), IL-33, and Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-ionomycin (Biolegend) for 12 h at the indicated concentration. The EPO activity was measured by the spectrophotometric method (31 (link)). Briefly, 100 µl of culture supernatant from each sample was placed in a 96-well plate, and 100 µl of substrate solution containing 0.1 µM o-phenylenediamine-dihydrochloride, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 1 µM hydrogen peroxide (Sigma-Aldrich) was added in each well. After incubation for 30 min at 37°C, the enzymatic reaction was stopped by adding 50 µl of 4 M sulfuric acid. Absorbance was measured at 492 nm using a Multiscan JX system (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

For IL-33-induced airway inflammation, mice were anesthetized using isoflurane and treated three times intranasally or intratracheally every other day with 0.5 µg IL-33 (BioLegend, USA) or PBS (GIBCO Life Technologies, USA) as described previously (17 (link)). Mice were sacrificed at the indicated time points after the final IL-33 administration.
For acute HDM-induced allergic airway inflammation, mice were anesthetized using isoflurane and sensitized by intranasal or intratracheal injection with 1 or 10 µg HDM extract (Greer, SC, USA) or PBS. After 7 days, animals were challenged daily on days 0–4 with 10 µg HDM intranasally or intratracheally and sacrificed at the indicated time points after the final treatment as described previously (46 (link)). For chronic HDM-induced allergic airway inflammation, mice were anesthetized using isoflurane and treated intranasally three times weekly for 5 weeks with 25 µg HDM or PBS and sacrificed at the indicated time points after the final treatment [adapted from Ref. (47 (link))].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
