washed twice in PBS before digestion with 1.0 mg/ml collagenase (Wako) and 0.05 mg/ml DNase (Sigma-Aldrich) for 60 min at
37°C. LP suspensions were passed through a 70-ђm filter. Cells were then separated with a Percoll density gradient (GE
Healthcare, IL, USA). The numbers of live cells were determined by Countess II (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Instrument Isolated cells were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibody.
For cell sorting: FACSAria II (Becton Dickinson).
For analysis: FACSCanto II (Becton Dickinson).
Software FACSDiva for collection and FlowJo (v10) for analysis
Cell population abundance Populations were validated for purity by a post-sort analysis by FACS
