Mice were intravenously injected with FITC-conjugated anti-CD45 antibody (BioLegend, San Diego, CA) 3 to 5 min before euthanasia to mark immune cells still present in the vasculature. Following humane euthanasia, mouse lungs were isolated and suspensions of single cells were obtained by enzymatic and mechanical disruption using the gentleMACS dissociator system (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA) as previously described (54 (link)). Live cells were stained using acridine orange-propidium iodine and counted using a Cellometer K2 cytometer (Nexcelom, Lawrence, MA).
