Existing flow cytometry approaches identify immune cells using the whole infected/inflamed cornea, which limits its ability to distinguish the immune cells infiltrating the corneal epithelium from the corneal stroma. Here, we present a protocol to analyze immune cells in the separated epithelium and stroma from naïve and herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1)-infected mouse corneas. We describe steps for viral infection, separation of corneal epithelium from stroma, preparation of a single-cell suspension of the individual epithelium and stroma, and flow cytometry assay.
现有的流式细胞术方法使用整个感染/炎症的角膜来识别免疫细胞,这限制了它区分浸润角膜上皮和基质的免疫细胞的能力。在这里,我们提出了一种从正常和单纯疱疹病毒 1(HSV-1)感染的小鼠角膜中分离的上皮和基质中分析免疫细胞的方案。我们描述了病毒感染、角膜上皮与基质分离、单个上皮和基质单细胞悬液制备以及流式细胞术检测的步骤。
