Abstract
Understanding the interplay between immune and structural cells is important for studying fibrosis and inflammation; however, primary immune cell isolation from organs that are typically enriched in stromal cells, like the lung, esophagus, or gut, proves to be an ongoing challenge. In fibrotic conditions, this challenge becomes even greater as infiltrating cells become trapped in the robust extracellular matrix (ECM). This protocol details a method to isolate cells at high yield from stroma-rich organs that can be used for further analyses via flow cytometry, stimulation, or culturing. Validation of this method is confirmed by flow cytometry data assessing immune cell populations of interest. This protocol can be completed in approximately 5–6 h.
