Flow cytometry protocol to quantify immune cells in the separated epithelium and stroma of herpes simplex virus-1-infected mouse cornea
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...

| Sumario: | 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. |
