Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are now known to play prominent roles in many inflammatory responses involving the production of Th2-type cytokines, which contribute to parasitic infections, tissue repair, and metabolic homeostasis [1]. More recently, it has emerged that ILC2s may act as antigen-presenting cells, although corresponding evidence of phagocytic activity of these cells is currently scarce [2, 3]. Herein, we investigated whether ILC2s can phagocytose bacteria, through in vitro experiments.We first isolated pulmonary ILC2s (defined as lineage− CD45+ ICOS+ ST2+ GATA3+) from WT mice following intranasal application of recombinant mouse IL-33 as previously described [4](Fig. S1a, b). Then, we used the murine macrophage cell line RAW264. 7 and human acute T-cell leukemia cell line Jurkat as the positive and negative controls to investigate the phagocytic ability of ILC2s. Initially, fluorescent microspheres of different sizes (50, 100nm, and 1 μm diameter) were added to culture dishes of RAW264. 7 cells, Jurkat cells or ILC2s. Confocal microscopy revealed that the fluorescent microspheres were located within the cytoplasm of both RAW264. 7 macrophages and ILC2s (Fig. 1 a) but not within negative control cells (Fig. S2a). Three-dimensional reconstruction of these images using confocal tomography intuitively presented the above results (Videos S1 and S2). Flow cytometric analysis was employed to quantify the amount of phagocytosis of the various sizes of fluorescent microspheres performed by the ILC2s and RAW264. 7 cells. Almost all ILC2s could phagocytose 50nm fluorescent microspheres, although less efficiently than
