Isolation and transcriptional profiling of antigen-presenting cells from mouse lung and MLNs following intranasal immunization
Summary: Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the initiation of the adaptive immune response. Here, we present a protocol for isolating and transcriptionally profiling antigen-presenting cells (APCs) from the mouse lung and mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs) following intranasal immunization. We...

Summary: | Summary: Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the initiation of the adaptive immune response. Here, we present a protocol for isolating and transcriptionally profiling antigen-presenting cells (APCs) from the mouse lung and mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs) following intranasal immunization. We describe steps for preparing single-cell suspensions from the lung and MLN, along with the detection and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of antigen-presenting DCs. This protocol offers a broadly applicable approach for identifying variations in DC subpopulations under diverse experimental conditions.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Youhui et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics. |
