A single-cell suspension of corneal cells was prepared by digesting the individual cornea with Liberase TL (2.5 mg/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich) as previously reported (Gaddipati et al., 2015 (link)). Cells were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies against CD45 (103116, Biolegend), HIF-1α (IC1935G, R&D system) and their isotype controls (400623, 400132, Biolegend). The stained cells were analyzed using the LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and FlowJo software.
