Loss of ICAM-1 reduces tissue ILC2s. (A) Representative flow cytometry plots of ILC2s in the peripheral tissues from WT and ICAM-1−/− mice, including lung (CD45+LinCD90.2+CD25+), mLN, lamina propria from small intestine (SI), and large intestine (LI; LinCD90.2+CD127+GATA3+, pregated on CD45+ cells). (B) The number of ILC2s in A were shown (n = 7 per group). (C) Representative flow cytometric analysis of CD69 expression on tissue ILC2s from A. (D) Flow analysis of ICAM-1 expression on the indicated mouse ILC subsets, including spleen NK (CD45+LinNK1.1+NKP46+), ILC1 (CD45+LinNK1.1+NKP46+), ILC2 (CD45+LinCD127+KLRG1+), and ILC3 (CD45+LinCD127+Rorγt+) in mLN. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) levels were shown (n = 6). (E) Frequencies of CD45+LinNK1.1+NKP46+ NK cells from spleen and CD45+LinNK1.1+NKP46+ ILC1s from LI in WT and ICAM-1−/− mice were determined by flow cytometry (n = 6 per group). (F and G) Frequencies of CD45+Lin CD127+Rorγt+ ILC3s from mLN (F) and LI (G) of WT and ICAM-1−/− mice were determined by flow cytometry (n = 6 per group). Data are representative of two independent experiments. Error bars show mean ± SEM; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001 by unpaired Student's t test. ns, not significant. Numbers within flow plots indicate the percentages of cells gated, and arrows from outlined areas at top indicate gated cells analyzed below.
