Rearing and Sexing of Aedes albopictus

Three strains of Ae. albopictus collected in three localities in northern Italy (Rimini, Cesena, and Pinerolo) were reared under standard laboratory conditions (27 ± 1°C, 85% RH, 12 h scotophase) for several generations. The adults were kept in Plexiglas cages (50 × 50 × 50 cm) at density of ≈1,500–2,000 individuals per cage. Cages were supplied with 10% sugar solution on which mosquitoes fed ad libitum. Bovine blood in sheep intestine was offered weekly using an electrically heated aluminum chamber thermostatically controlled. Females laid eggs in plastic beakers containing dechlorinated water and a strip of white filter paper. After oviposition, the filter paper was removed from the cage and left to dry in a closed plastic container with a saturated solution of potassium sulfate. One week later, the eggs were counted and placed in a 1.0-liter closed bottle with 0.75 liters dechlorinated water, 0.25 g of Bacto nutrient broth, and 0.05 g of yeast to stimulate hatching. Larvae were reared at fixed density (1,333 larvae/L) in white plastic trays (41 × 31 × 11 cm) containing 3 liters of dechlorinated water provided with aerators and were fed with a diet consisting of 2.1 mg/larva Friskies dry cat food + 0.38 mg/larva brewer yeast + 0.15 mg/larva Tetramin (10% was given on day 1; 20% on day 2; 30% on day 3; and 40% on day 5) (Bellini et al. 2007 ). To separate males from females at the pupal stage, a mechanical separation method exploiting pupal size dimorphism was employed using a metal sieve with a 1,400-μm square hole mesh (Medici et al. 2000 ).

Dual Pathogen Infection Sampling and DNA Extraction

A plant visibly infected with both Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis and Albugo sp. was collected in Fall 2014 from the village of Gniebel (48° 34′ 34.10″ North Lat., 9° 10′ 55.42″ East Long.) using sterile tweezers and scissors, placed in a sterile 15 mL tube, and brought back to the lab on ice where it was frozen at −80 °C until further processing. The frozen plant was ground in the presence of liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle that was lined with four layers of autoclaved aluminum foil. Approximately 250 g of the resulting powder was used for DNA extraction, using a custom protocol we previously described [22 (link)]. Briefly, the sample was subjected to bead-beating in the presence of 1.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 1 mm garnet rocks, followed by SDS cleanup with 1/3 volume 5 M potassium acetate, and then SPRI beads. The library was prepared using the TruSeq Nano kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA), with DNA shearing performed with a S2 focused ultrasonicator (Covaris, Woburn, MA, USA) as suggested in the manufacturer’s protocol. Rather than Illumina adapters, we used custom adapters described in ref. [24 (link)]. The sample was sequenced on one lane of a HiSeq 2000 instrument (Illumina), using a 100 bp single-end kit.

Whole Mount Analysis of Lung Metastases

Whole mount analysis was performed on the lungs in order to identify and enumerate metastases. Briefly, lungs were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde, stored overnight in 70% ethanol, and stained 48 hrs in carmine aluminum solution (0.22% carmine, 0.55% aluminum potassium sulfate). The lungs were than dehydrated by 70%, 90%, 100% ethanol and xylene respectively. The tumor nodules in lungs were counted by a blinded observer on a dissection microscope.

Ovalbumin-Induced Allergic Lung Inflammation

DN TNFR25-tg mice generated as described above and backcrossed at least seven generations into the C57BL/6J background were compared with WT C57BL/6J mice purchased from the National Cancer Institute. Mice were sensitized by i.p. injection of 66 μg ovalbumin (crystallized chicken egg albumin, grade V; Sigma-Aldrich) absorbed to 6.6 mg aluminum potassium sulfate (alum; Sigma-Aldrich) in 200 μl PBS on day 0. On day 5, mice were boosted intraperitoneally with the same dose of ovalbumin in alum. On day 12, mice were aerosol challenged with 0.5% ovalbumin in PBS for 1 h using an Ultrasonic Nebulizer (MABIS Healthcare, Inc.). Mice were assessed for allergic inflammation of the lungs 1–3 d (on day 13 to 15) after the aerosol exposure. Mice were killed by inhalation of CO_2. After cannulation of the trachea, the lung was lavaged 4 times with 1 ml of PBS. Cells recovered from the BAL fluid were counted and used for cytospin preparations (≤50,000 cells/slide). More than 200 cells were counted for each cytospin slide stained with Wright-Giemsa stain (Sigma-Aldrich) to determine differential cell counts for macrophages, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and neutrophils.
