Lung tissues were diced and subsequently digested for 45 min at 37 °C with 5 mg/ml LiberaseTM (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) and 10 mg/ml DNase (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Single‐cell suspensions were stained and analyzed using a FACS Canto II cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Antibodies were purchased from BioLegend unless otherwise listed. For monocytes and neutrophils, the following antibodies were used: Ly6G (1A8), CD45 (30‐F11; eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), CD11c (HL3; BD, San Jose, CA, USA), CD11b (M1/70; BD), Ly6C (AL‐21; BD), and IL1RL1 (DIH9). For ILC staining, the following antibodies were used: CD3 (145‐2C11), CD19 (6D5), Gr1 (RB6‐8C5), B220 (RA3‐6B2), Ter119 (TER‐119), FcaR1 (MAR‐1), CD49b (DX5; eBioscience), Il1rl1 (DIH9), CD90 (30‐H12), and CD45 (30‐F11). A Fixable Viability Dye kit (eBioscience) was used to exclude dead cells. Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc, Ashland, OR, USA).

Multiplexed Flow Cytometric Analysis of PBMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After PBMCs were thawed, the Fixable Viability Dye Kit (eBioscience, San Diego, CA) was used to assess cell viability by FACS analysis (>90% in all samples). 500,000 viable singlet-events were sorted per sample using a Sony SH800 Cell Sorter (Sony Biotechnology, San Jose, CA). The sorted cells were incubated with Fc blocker (CD16/CD32, eBioscience) for 10 min, after which each sample was incubated with TotalSeq Hashtag antibody tags to enable multiplexing and subsequent deconvoluting. After Hashtag staining, the cells were pooled into four pools of five samples, each sample contributing equally to their respective pool. The cells were counted manually by light microscopy and Neubauer chambers. Each pooled sample was then incubated for 30 min with our TotalSeq oligo-conjugated antibody panel for later surface protein marker quantification. An overview of all antibodies that were used in the study is shown in Supplementary file 2.

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.
