Analysis of cell populations in BALF or single cell suspension of lung homogenate was conducted as before46 (link). Cells were labeled with a combination of phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled anti-NK 1.1 (PK136; eBioscience), fluorescein (FITC)-labeled anti-Ly6G (RB6-8C5; eBioscience), allophycocyanin (APC)-labeled anti-MHCII (M5/114.15.2; eBioscience), PerCP-Cy5.5-labelled anti-CD11c (N418; Biolegend), or phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled CD4 (RM4-5; Biolegend) alone. Neutrophils (PMNs) were defined as Ly6G+/MHCII , Macrophages as CD11c+/MHCIIlow-mid and Dendritic cells (DCs) as CD11c+/MHCIIhigh. Fc block (anti-mouse CD16/32) was also added to each sample (93; eBioscience). Uniform dyed microspheres (Bangs Laboratories, Inc) were added to calculate the concentration of cellular components. Samples were run on FACS Calibur and analyzed on FlowJo (ver 10.0.6).
