Isolation of LPLs was performed as previously (Li et al., 2017 (link)). The small intestine and large intestine were removed, opened longitudinally, and cut into pieces. After vigorous shaking in HBSS containing EDTA, the supernatants containing epithelial cells and IELs was discarded. The remaining intestinal pieces were digested with collagenase D (Worthington) and pelleted. The pellet was resuspended and placed in a Percoll gradient as described above, and after centrifugation, the interface containing the LPLs was collected and prepared for further analysis.
