Surgical samples from diseased lung tissue (n = 3 TB+HIV+; n = 3 TB+; n = 2 non-infected patients) were processed as described in (Ardain et al., 2019 (link)). Briefly, each sample was collected into cold RP-10 (RPMI (Sigma-Aldrich) + 10% FBS), minced, and incubated for 25-30 min at 37°C with digestion buffer containing collagenase D (Sigma-Aldrich), DNase I (Sigma-Aldrich) in RPMI 1640 (Sigma-Aldrich) with 10% FBS (Hyclone). Following incubation, samples were homogenized using a GentleMACS, filtered using a 70 μm metal strainer, and pelleted by centrifugation at 400 g for 5 min. After obtaining the pellet, cells were resuspended in RP-10, passed through another 70μm strainer (Corning), stained with trypan blue, and then counted and diluted for scRNA-seq using Seq-Well S3 (see below).
