Purified ILC2s were sorted into 96-well plates at the density of 100 cells/well and resuspended in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) of gamma-irradiated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from three healthy volunteers (2 × 106 cells/ml) coupled with 100 IU/ml IL-2 in RPMI 1640 (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated human serum and 2 mM l-glutamine and 10 ml/liter penicillin-streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich; R10H). Every 2–3 d thereafter, half of the medium was replaced with equal volumes of R10H and 100 IU IL-2. Every 4 wk, the cultures were fed with MLR mixed with IL-2.
