Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lung, and spleen (n = 5 each group) were collected on day 1, 4, and 7 after poly(I:C) injection. (a) Gating strategies for the analysis of myeloid cells from BALF cells based on CD11b, F4/80, and Ly6G expressions. (b) Number of total cells, neutrophils, and macrophages were counted at indicated times. (c, k) Gating strategies for the analysis of lymphoid cells from lung and spleen, respectively. Cells were gated based on CD45, CD3, CD4, CD8, γδ-TCR and NK1.1, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17A, CD25, and Foxp3 expression for lymphoid populations. DRAQ7 was used to exclude dead cells. (dj, lq) Percentage of lymphoid cell populations in lung and spleen at indicated time points. Each symbol represents an individual mouse. Data (means ± SEM) are representative of three independent experiments. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the differences between groups. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.
