Infected mouse lungs (500 SeV pfu/gram body weight) were mechanically homogenized using the gentleMACS tissue dissociator (Miltenyi). The resulting cell suspension was passed through a 70 μm mesh filter then washed once in ice-cold PBS. Cells (300,000) were incubated with Fc block for 20 min on ice then stained with fluorescent-labeled primary antibodies for 30 min on ice in the dark. CD45-PerCP, NK1.1-APC, Gr-1-FITC and CD3-Alexa Fluor 700 antibodies were purchased from BD Biosciences. The F4/80-efluor 450 was purchased from eBioscience and the CD11b-PE was purchased from Invitrogen. Cells were washed once in ice-cold staining buffer (PBS + 1% BSA and 0.1% sodium azide) then fixed with 1% formaldehyde. Total number of specific leukocyte population per lung was calculated as follows: # of specific leukocyte population = total lung cell number x %gated cells x %single cells x %CD45+ cells x %specific leukocyte population. Flow cytometric data were analyzed with FlowJo software (Treestar, Ashland, OR).

The heparinized blood from each animal was divided into two parts. A volume of 150 µl was designated for blood count and measured using an ABX Pentra 60 C+ hemoanalyzer (Horiba, Kyoto, Japan). The rest of the blood (200–300 µl) was lysed using EasyLyse™ (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). The amount of cells in suspension was as determined by Turk’s solution (2% acetic acid; Sigma-Aldrich) using a hemocytometer chamber. Cells (5 × 105/100 µl) were marked with two panels of monoclonal antibodies. The first panel was delineated to detect T, B, and NK lymphocytes (CD3ϵ, CD4, CD8, CD19, and NK1.1). The second panel was designed for determination of monocytes and neutrophils (CD11b, F4/80, Ly6C, and Ly6G). The following monoclonal antibodies with fluorochromes for flow cytometry analysis were purchased from BioLegend (San Diego, CA, United States): anti-mouse CD3ϵ–FITC, CD4–BV421, CD19–PE, CD11c–BV421, CD45–APC/Fire™750, F4/80–PE, and from BD Bioscience: CD8–PECy7, CD11b–BV510, Ly6C–FITC, Ly6G–PECy7, and NK1.1–APC.

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was obtained through the tracheal cannula by washing the mouse airway lumen with PBS. Then, the BALF was immediately centrifuged at 1500RPM for 5 min to get cell pellet. The cell type was further measured and determined by flow cytometry. The data analysis was performed on FlowJo (BD Bioscience, USA). The immunofluorescent antibodies used in the research were shown as follows: CD45-V500, CD11b-PerCP, F4/80-PE, CD206-BV421, CD3-FITC, and NK1.1-APC (BD Bioscience, USA). The following is the mouse macrophage: CD45+CD11b+F4/80+CD206+. Natural killer cells (NK) are as follows: CD45+CD3NK1.1+. The related isotype antibodies were used as negative control. The result was analyzed with FlowJo 10.6.2 (BD Bioscience, USA).

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.
