Materials and Methods
NK cells were isolated from pooled splenocytes of SRG or SRG-15 mice (3 spleens per group) and NK cells were isolated using EasySep Human NK enrichment kit (StemCell Technologies; Cat #19055).
NK cells were also isolated from healthy human PBMCs. NK cells were treated overnight with 10 ng/mL human IL-2. The next day, cells were stimulated overnight with 10 ng/mL human IL-12p70 or 2 mg/mL poly I:C or left untreated. The next day, supernatant was harvested and IFNg levels assessed using Human IFNg Quantikine ELISA kit (R&D systems; Cat # DIF50). NK cell purity was analyzed by FACS and IFNg levels normalized as picograms (pg) produced by individual NK cells. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA test.
