Lentiviral transduction of bone marrow cells

  • Freshly isolated bone marrow (BM) cells were plated in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) (31980, , ) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 200 mM glutamine, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% sodium pyruvate, 50 μM 2-mercaptoethanol, stem cell factor (SCF, 10 ng/ml, , ), Flt3-L (10 ng/ml), IL-11 (10 ng/ml), thrombopoietin (TPO, 10 ng/ml), IL-6 (10 ng/ml), and IL-3 (10 ng/ml).
  • Bone marrow cells were spin-infected with 8 μg/ml polyprene and lentivirus (MOI of 0.1–0.5), at 2,500 rpm for 90 min.
  • BM cells were then incubated for 3 hours at 37°C, counted and injected into NOD.SCID mice.

Eosinophil counting and culture

  • Peripheral blood eosinophils were counted by’s staining [6/ml in IMDM containing 10% FBS , 100 IU/ml penicillin and 10 μg/ml streptomycin , 2 mM glutamine , and 50 μM 2-Mercaptoethanol supplemented with 100 ng/ml stem cell factor (SCF) and 100 ng/ml FLT3 ligand from days 0 to 4.
  • On day 4, the medium was replaced with fresh medium containing 10 ng/ml recombinant mouse IL-5 (&systems).
  • From this point forward, half of the medium was replaced every other day with fresh medium containing IL-5, and the cell density was maintained around 1×106/ml.
  • On day 14, the cells were harvested for in vitro experiments after flow cytometric identification by CC3-FITC and Siglec-F-PE (B ) staining as well as morphological examination by cytospun slide staining with a modified Giemsa preparation (iff ).
  • As expected, more than 90% of harvested cells are eosinophils (data not shown).

Culture-derived Generation of Eosinophils from Bone Marrow Precursors

  • Ex vivo generation by culture of mouse bone marrow-derived eosinophils was performed essentially as previously described by Dyer et al −/− and mev mice by flushing the bone marrow cavity with RPM 1640 medium .
  • After red cell lysis, the bone marrow cells were cultured at 106/ml in medium containing RPMI 1640 with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Cambrex, East Rutherford, ), 100 IU/ml penicillin, 10 µg/ml streptomycin, nonessential amino acids, 1 mM sodium pyruvate (all from , , ), and 50 µM 2-ME supplemented with 100 ng/ml stem cell factor (SCF) and 100 ng/ml FLT3 ligand (FLT3-L) from days 0 to 4.
  • On day 4, the cells were moved to new flasks and the medium containing SCF and FLT3-L was replaced with medium containing 10 ng/ml recombinant mouse IL-5 .

  • Cells were enumerated in a hemocytometer and viability (consistently >90%) and purity were determined as mentioned above for human eosinophils.
  • These methods yield eosinophils of normal morphology expressing proteins seen in mature eosinophils, including normal cell surface levels of Siglec-F
