Abstract
The intestinal lamina propria (LP) is a leukocyte-rich cornerstone of the immune system owing to its vital role in immune surveillance and barrier defense against external pathogens. Here, we present a protocol for isolating and analyzing immune cell subsets from the mouse intestinal LP for further downstream applications. Starting from tissue collection and cleaning, epithelium removal, and enzymatic digestion to collection of single cells, we explain each step in detail to maximize the yield of immune cells from the intestinal LP.
