As previously described, a modified procedure was used to measure the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) using flow cytometry (21 (link)). Briefly, at 24 hours post-CLP, peritoneal cells were collected. Following RBC lysis, peritoneal cells were loaded in the dark for 30 minutes at 37°C with 5 μM/mL of ROS Brite™ (10 µM; AAT Bioquest, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), which is a general oxidative stress indicator. As soon as the cells were washed and labeled for neutrophil-specific surface markers, flow cytometry analysis was done.
