Overview

Generate high-quality single-cell suspensions from mouse lung tissue efficiently and reliably using the ³§°Õ·¡²Ñ±è°ù±ð±èâ„¢ Mouse Lung Dissociation Kit. Designed to work seamlessly with the ³§°Õ·¡²Ñ±è°ù±ð±èâ„¢ Tissue Dissociator, this kit features a precisely formulated enzymatic cocktail tailored for lung tissue, combined with an optimized mechanical dissociation protocol to gently dissociate lung tissue while preserving cell viability and surface marker integrity.

This method is optimized for the recovery of key cell types, including leukocytes and endothelial cells, while maintaining cellular integrity throughout the dissociation process. The combination of enzymatic digestion of the extracellular matrix and controlled mechanical disruption ensures consistent yields with minimal user variability and hands-on time.

Following dissociation, the resulting cells are immediately ready for downstream applications such as cell separation, culture, flow cytometry, and cellular or molecular analysis.

For best results, use this kit in conjunction with the ³§°Õ·¡²Ñ±è°ù±ð±èâ„¢ Tissue Dissociator and ³§°Õ·¡²Ñ±è°ù±ð±èâ„¢ Sample Tubes.

Microbial dysbiosis sculpts a systemic ILC3/IL-17 axis governing lung inflammatory responses A Kabil et al. Mucosal Immunology 2025 July

Abstract

Advancements in vaccination and sanitation have significantly reduced the prevalence and burden of infectious diseases; however, these benefits have coincided with a marked rise in autoimmune and allergic disorders. Recent studies have investigated these linked trends through the lens of host-microbiome alterations, proposing these shifts as a potential explanatory mechanism. Previously, we demonstrated that vancomycin-induced depletion of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria results in hyperactivation of ILC2s and exacerbated allergic responses. Here we investigate the effects of low-dose streptomycin on innate and adaptive immune cell populations and their activation states. Although streptomycin-treated mice exhibit normal allergic responses, they display heightened susceptibility to Th1/Th17-mediated disease, specifically hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). This is characterized by a two-fold increase in ILC3s and Th17 cells in the lungs, alongside activation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) at steady state-an effect that is further amplified upon exposure to HP-inducing agents. Shotgun metagenomic analysis revealed that streptomycin-induced dysbiosis reduces microbial diversity, depletes bile acid-metabolizing bacteria, and enriches for metabolic pathways involved in branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis, including leucine-a known activator of mTORC1. Strikingly, administration of the secondary bile acid metabolite isolithocholic acid (an inverse agonist of RORγt), or an IL-23 neutralizing antibody, reverses the enhanced susceptibility to HP. Inhibition of mTORC1 significantly reduced Th17/ILC3 responses and histopathology. Our findings underscore microbial equilibrium as a key determinant of susceptibility to HP and uncover a positive feedback loop between IL and 23-producing APCs and ILC3/Th17 cells that mechanistically links dysbiosis to sustained type 3 inflammation, and we identify a simple, actionable means of intervention.
