Abstract
Source: Christofides, A., et al. Flow Cytometric Analysis for Identification of the Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells of Murine Lung. J. Vis. Exp. (2021).
This video demonstrates an in vitro technique to identify immune cells residing in murine lungs. After isolating target immune cells from murine lung tissue, they are surface-labeled using a cocktail of fluorophore-tagged antibodies against specific markers on innate and adaptive immune cells. Additionally, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells are labeled using an intracellular marker. The various immune cell types are then identified using flow cytometry.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Surgical excision and tissue preparation Euthanize the mouse by intraperitoneally injecting 1 mL of tribromoethanol (prepared according to standard protocol; Table of Materials). NOTE: CO2 asphyxiation should be avoided in lung studies as it might cause lung …
Representative Results
Figure 1: The best cellular dissociation is achieved by 5 mg/mL of collagenase 1 in prewarmed PBS + 0.5% BSA. In all different conditions, 0.2 mg of DNAse I was also included. Abbreviations: BSA = bovine serum albumin; FSC-A = peak area of forward-scattered light; L/D = live/dead staining; SF = Siglec F.
