Abstract

Eosinophils affect nerve structure and function in organs such as lungs and skin, which contributes to disease pathogenesis. We have developed methods for culturing primary sensory and parasympathetic neurons in multiple species and have refined these techniques for coculture with eosinophils. Eosinophil-nerve coculture has been an essential tool for testing interactions between these cell types. Here we describe methods for coculturing primary parasympathetic ganglia, vagal sensory nerves, and dorsal root sensory nerves with eosinophils.
