Starting with a naïve mouse lung single-cell suspension, the ILC2 content (CD45+Lin-CD278+CD90.2+ST2+) of the final enriched fraction typically ranges from 2.2 - 7.1%. In the above example, the percentage of ILC2s in the start and final enriched fractions are 0.8% and 6.5% (or 0.9% and 22.3% of CD45+ cells), respectively. NOTE: The ILC2 content of the start fraction typically ranges from 0.1 - 1%.

Isolation and adoptive transfer of innate lymphoid cells 2 to a recipient mouse model of PDAC. A. Alam et al. STAR protocols 2022 sep
Abstract
Innate lymphoid cells 2 (ILC2) play a significant role in the tumorigenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). An important aspect of ILC2-mediated tumorigenesis is the expansion of the resident ILC2 and simultaneous recruitment of the peripheral ILC2. Here, we describe a protocol for isolation, enrichment, and DiD labeling of ILC2 for in vivo tracking of ILC2s in the mouse. Further, we describe steps for the adoptive transfer of ILC2 to a recipient mouse model of PDAC. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Alam et al. (2022).
IL-33 induces NF-$\kappa$B activation in ILC2 that can be suppressed by in vivo and ex vivo 17$\beta$-estradiol. S. Trivedi et al. Frontiers in allergy 2022
Abstract
Asthmatic women tend to develop severe airway disease in their reproductive years, and 30%-40% of asthmatic women have peri-menstrual worsening of asthma symptoms. This indicates that fluctuations in ovarian hormones are involved in advancement of asthmatic disease and exacerbation of symptoms. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells, or ILC2, are readily detected in allergic conditions, such as rhinosinusitis, in individuals that develop nasal polyps do to allergen exposures, and in allergic asthma. ILC2 are airway localized immune cells activated by IL-33, an innate cytokine that perpetuates allergic inflammation by driving the production of IL-5 and IL-13. We have previously shown that ILC2 are highly activated in na{\{i}}ve and ovalbumin (OVA) challenged female BALB/c mice in comparison to male mice following stimulation with IL-33. Here we investigated the effect of steady-state ovarian hormones on ILC2 and the NF-$\kappa$B signaling pathway following OVA sensitization and challenge. We found that estrogen-treated ovariectomized mice (OVX-E2) that had been challenged with OVA had reduced IL-5 and IL-13 production by lung ILC2 as compared to lung ILC2 isolated from intact male and female sham-operated controls that had been treated with OVA. ILC2 were isolated from untreated animals and co-cultured ex vivo with and without estrogen plus IL-33. Those estrogen-treated ILC2 similarly produced less IL-5 and IL-13 in comparison to untreated and had reduced NF-$\kappa$B activation. Single-cell RNA sequencing showed that 120 genes were differentially expressed in male and female ILC2 and Nfkb1 was found among top-ranked regulatory interactions. Together these results provide new insight into the suppressive effect of estrogen on ILC2 which may be protective in female asthmatics. Understanding further how estrogen modulates ILC2 may provide therapeutic targets for the treatment of allergic diseases."
