Figure Lengend Snippet: A FACS-sorted human blood ILC2s were cultured with rhIL-2, rhIL-7, and rhIL-33 for 24 h. 5D or vehicle were added to the culture for an additional 48 h. B Flow cytometry histogram and quantification of Orai1 expression after 24 h with survival cytokines in ( A ) presented as mean ± SEM. n = 4 biologically independent samples. C Flow cytometry histogram and quantification of Orai2 expression after 24 h with survival cytokines in ( A ) presented as mean ± SEM. n = 4 biologically independent samples. D After 48 h with 5D or vehicle, supernatant was collected and IL-5 and IL-13 levels were measured by ELISA. n = 6 biologically independent samples. E FACS-sorted human blood ILC2s from healthy donors were adoptively transferred into Rag2 −/− γc −/− mice. Mice were intranasally challenged with rhIL-33 (1 μg) or PBS and treated with i.p. injections of 5D or vehicle days 0, 1, and 2. Mice were euthanized on day 3 and AHR ( F ) was measured presented as mean ± SEM. n = 4 biologically independent samples. G Total number of eosinophils infiltrating the BAL presented as mean ± SEM. n = 4 biologically independent samples. H Total number of human ILC2s found in the lung presented as mean ± SEM. n = 4 biologically independent samples. Data are representative of two independent experiments and are presented as means ± SEM. Source data are provided as a Source data file. A two-tailed Student’s t test for unpaired data was applied for comparisons between two groups, except for multi-group comparisons where Tukey’s multiple comparison one-way ANOVA tests were used.

Article Snippet: APC anti-mouse IL-13 (85BRD, Thermofisher), PE anti-mouse IL-5 (TRFK5, BioLegend) were used.
