Background
The preparation of single cell suspension from solid tissue is an important basic technology for establishing cell models and researching cell physiological and biochemical mechanisms. The preparation method is different for different tissues.
Loosening hepatic tissue cells, mainly preparing single cell suspension by mechanical grinding method (Korean duckweed, etc., analyzing and comparing hepatic tissue single cell suspension of liver disease patient with lymphocyte subpopulation in peripheral blood, examining medicine, 2005, 20 th volume, 5 th phase); the muscle tissue is compact, and is matched with mechanical grinding and is matched with a plurality of digestive enzymes to act simultaneously, so that a better preparation effect can be realized (Zhang Yuan, etc., compared with the mechanical-enzyme digestion method for preparing rat diaphragm tissue single cell suspension, Chinese tissue engineering research, 24 th volume at the end of 2020, No. 8).
The lung puncture tissue is taken out by puncturing the puncture needle from the outside of the body into the lung, has the characteristics of less number of puncture tissues, more fibrous tissues, easy adhesion of red blood cells to the tissues in the puncture process and the like, and is difficult to prepare single cell suspension from the lung puncture tissue, so that higher cell number and higher activity cannot be ensured.
The routine preparation of single cell suspensions from lung puncture samples comprises the following steps: (1) cutting the punctured tissue; (2) performing enzymolysis on collagenase IV for 30 min; (3) filtering by 70 mu m; (4) and (6) washing. The conventional method prepares single cell suspension from each puncture sample (weight 5-10mg), the number of single cells is usually less than 10000, and the activity is less than 50%. The method leads the research work of taking single cell suspension as the material to have the difficulties of material shortage, low fault tolerance rate and the like, and limits the development of related research work.
Currently, a high yield, high activity method for preparing single cell suspensions is lacking.

The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a method of preparing a single cell suspension from punctured tissue of the lung comprising the steps of:
1) placing the lung puncture tissue on ice and cutting into pieces;
2) adding IV type collagenase with final concentration of 0.2 + -0.05 mg/ml, and digesting at 37 + -0.3 deg.C for 10-15 min;
3) filtering with a cell filter screen with the aperture of 40 mu m, collecting filtrate, and centrifuging to enrich cells;
4) adding PBS containing BSA to resuspend the cells, and centrifuging to enrich the cells;
in step 4), the BSA-containing PBS is obtained by adding 4 + -0.05 mg BSA per 100ml PBS.
As the method, after the step 3), adding erythrocyte lysate to resuspend the cells if the filtrate contains erythrocytes, standing for 5 +/-1 min on ice, and centrifuging to enrich the cells; if no red blood cells are present, the process proceeds directly to step 4).
As described above, the final concentration of collagenase type IV in step 2) was 0.2 mg/ml.
As described above, in step 4), BSA-containing PBS was added in an amount of 4mg BSA per 100ml PBS.
As in the previous method, step 3) and/or step 4), the centrifugation conditions were 400g at 4 ℃ for 6 min.

1) the cell number in the prepared cell suspension is large, and is improved by 30 times compared with the conventional method;
2) the cell activity of the prepared cell suspension is high, and is improved to more than 95 percent compared with the cell activity of less than 50 percent of the cell activity of the cell suspension prepared by the conventional method.
Obviously, many modifications, substitutions, and variations are possible in light of the above teachings of the invention, without departing from the basic technical spirit of the invention, as defined by the following claims.
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following examples. This should not be understood as limiting the scope of the above-described subject matter of the present invention to the following examples.

Detailed Description
Example 1: method for preparing single cell suspension from lung punctured tissue
The method comprises the following steps:
1) the collection tube with the punctured tissue specimen was centrifuged (300g, 2min, 4 ℃), 950ul of tissue preservative solution (HBSS) was discarded, approximately 100ul of HBSS was left, and the lung punctured tissue sample tube (sample weight 5-10mg) was placed on ice.
2) The tissue was minced, 850ul of HBSS and 50. mu.l of collagenase type IV (2mg/ml) were added, and digested in an incubator at 37 ℃ for 10-15 min.
3) And after digestion is finished, transferring the digestive juice to a centrifuge tube with the volume 4 times that of the digestive juice to obtain HBSS, slightly blowing and beating the HBSS into the centrifuge tube with 15ml by using a 1ml pipette gun for 5-10 times by adhering to the wall, filtering the digestive juice to the centrifuge tube with 50ml through a cell filter screen with the size of 40 mu m (HBSS is rinsed in advance), flushing the filter screen with Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) for 3-4ml, flushing the collecting tube with 1ml HBSS, collecting flushing liquid and filtering, collecting residual collecting liquid which does not drip at the bottom of the filter screen by using a pipette tip with the size of 1ml to reduce cell loss, ensuring the total volume to be about 10ml, and centrifuging (400g, 4 ℃ and 6min) to.
4) If the collected liquid contains blood cells, adding 0.5-1ml of erythrocyte lysate to resuspend the cells, standing on ice for 6min, centrifuging (400g, 4 ℃, 6min), and discarding the supernatant; if no blood cells are present, the next step is performed directly.
5)1ml of 0.04% BSA + PBS was added (formulation: 4mg BSA +100ml PBS, the same applies below), transferring the cell into a 1.5ml low adsorption EP tube, centrifuging (400g, 4 ℃, 6min), discarding the supernatant, and reserving 100-200 mul to obtain the single cell suspension to be prepared.
