Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are important regulators of the early responses to infection at mucosal barriers, including the intestine. Recently, we have shown that specific ILC3 subsets protect against enteric bacterial pathogens. Here, we describe a mouse model of oral infection by Yersinia enterocolitica (Y. enterocolitica) and several different methodologies to assess the severity of the infection. We also detail how ILC3 subsets can be isolated from the mouse small intestine and transferred into recipient immune deficient mice to study the function of these ILCs in the small intestine.
