Eight week-old male B6.A2G-Mx1 and B6.A2G-Mx1-Tyk2−/− were used to generate Hoxb8 neutrophil cultures as described (49 (link)). Briefly, myeloid progenitor cells were derived from bone marrow, retrovirally transduced with an estrogen-regulated Hoxb8 construct (MSCV-ERHBD-Hoxb8 (50 (link)) and selected for 4 weeks in the presence of stem cell factor (SCF) to generate neutrophil progenitor lines. Polyclonal progenitor cell lines were cultured in OptiMEM + GlutaMAX medium (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10 % FCS, 30 μM β-mercaptoethanol (Life Technologies), 1 μM β-estradiol (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1 % supernatant from SCF-producing CHO cells. Differentiation was induced by β-estradiol removal in the presence of 1% SCF supernatant and 20 ng/ml murine recombinant G-CSF (Peprotech). After 3.5-4 days of differentiation cells were used for experiments. For IFN treatment, cells were treated for 4 h with the indicated concentrations of either IFN-αB/D or recombinant mouse IFN-λ2 and then processed for RNA isolation and subsequent RT-qPCR analysis.
