Eosinophils were generated from the bone marrow of WT, Siglec8+F+, Siglec8+F and SiglecF−/− mice following a protocol previously described by Dyer et al.37 (link) The surface expression of Siglec-F, Siglec-8 and CCR3 on bone marrow cells throughout the differentiation process was measured with flow cytometry as done previously.14 (link) Cell viability was assessed either with DAPI (ThermoFisher Scientific) or Ghost fixable viability dye (Tonbo Biosciences, San Diego, CA). Mature eosinophils on day 14 of the differentiation protocol were used for functional assays or apoptosis testing. Cytospins of mature eosinophils were stained with a Diff- Kwik™ stain set (Shandon, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and imaged on an Olympus DSU microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).
