One-fifth of a whole-lung suspension was incubated at 200 µl per well in a 96-well U-bottom plate in complete RPMI 1640 media. Cells were incubated in the presence of the eBioscence Cell Stimulation Cocktail (plus protein transport inhibitors; diluted 1,000×; Invitrogen) and 2.5 μg ml
−1 Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated anti-CD107a antibody (BioLegend). After 4 h, cells were stained for surface markers and intracellular cytokine production and analyzed as described above.
