The schedule for tissue clearing with ScaleSF is described in Figure 2A. Brain slices were permeabilized with ScaleS0 solution for 2 hr at 37°C, washed twice with PBS(–) (27575-31, Nacalai Tesque) for 15 min at 20–25°C, and cleared with ScaleS4 solution for 8–12 hr at 37°C. We treated brain slices with ScaleS4 solution for 12 hr in the data shown in this paper. The formula for ScaleS0 solution was 20% (w/v) sorbitol (06286-55, Nacalai Tesque), 5% (w/v) glycerol (G9012, Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mM methyl-β-cyclodextrin (M1356, Tokyo Chemical Industry), 1 mM γ-cyclodextrin (037-10643, Wako Pure Chemical Industries), and 3% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (13407-45, Nacalai Tesque) in PBS(–), and that for ScaleS4 solution was 40% (w/v) sorbitol, 10% (w/v) glycerol, 4 M urea (35940-65, Nacalai Tesque), 0.2% (w/v) Triton X-100 (35501-15, Nacalai Tesque), and 25% (v/v) DMSO in distilled deionized water (DDW) (Miyawaki et al., 2016 (link)).
The optical clearing methods of brain slices with CUBIC, PACT, ScaleSQ(0) and SeeDB followed the protocol as below. Considering 1-mm-thick slices clearing, incubation time of each method was adjusted accordingly.

The food-borne pathogens that were selected for the study were E.
coli
MTCC 443, and L. monocytogenes MTCC 657. The
strains were procured from MTCC, India. The samples were received as
freeze-dried cultured in glass vials. Upon receiving the samples, the cultures
were sub-cultured by inoculating the samples into 10 mL of sterile Tryptone Soya
Broth (TSB, HiMedia M641, Chennai, India) and incubating for 24 h at
37°C. After the incubation period, sterile 50% glycerol on
deionized water was added with the cultures at 1:1 ratio to make a final
concentration of 25% glycerol (Sigma Aldrich, G9012) in the glycerol
culture stocks. The samples were transferred to cryovials and were frozen at
−80°C until further use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antennae were dissected from cold anesthetized adults of C. populi (n = 4), briefly cleaned in an Ultrasonic Cleaner (VWRTM) and mounted in glycerol (G9012 Sigma-Aldrich) in two cover slips, allowing microscopic observation of the distal antennal tip from both sides. Autofluorescence scanning images were acquired on a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM 880, Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) using a 40×/1.2 W C-Apochromat. Excitation of cuticular autofluorescence was conducted by a 405 nm laser diode and the fitting main beam splitter 405. Emission was detected in Lambda mode between 410 and 695 nm to discriminate between high and low concentrations of resilin or chitin, respectively. Approximately 300 scans at a thickness of 0.5 μm were employed to image the terminal (9th) flagellomere of the antennae from both sides. Maximum intensity projections were used for visualization of the entire image stacks. Images were processed using ZEN software (Zeiss) and ImageJ (Schneider et al., 2012 (link)).

Clinical specimens were cultured aseptically onto blood agar (Columbia agar with 5% Sheep blood, 254,005 BD), chocolate agar (GC II agar with IsoVitaleX, 254,060, BD or blood Agar No. 2 Base, 257,011, BD) and MacConkey agar (4,016,702, Biolife Italiana Srl) and incubated at 35–37 °C in aerobic conditions with 5–10% CO2 for 24–48 h to address the isolation of respiratory bacterial pathogens.
Identification of isolates for respiratory pathogens was carried out by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF Biotyper System, Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany) as previously described [13 (link)]. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was also confirmed by PCR technique due to limitation of MALDI-TOF for the Actinobacillus genus [57 (link)]. Individual isolates were stored at -80 °C in brain heart infusion (CM1135, Oxoid) with 30% of glycerol (G9012, Sigma-Aldrich).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To reveal the dying spinal cord cells after injury, animals were deeply anesthetized with 0.3-0.5% tricaine methane sulfonate (MS-222; E10521, Sigma-Aldrich) and dissected in ice-cold extracellular solution (see “Electrophysiological recordings” section). Axial muscles and vertebral arches were removed to expose and facilitate the permeation in the spinal cord tissue. Then, the spinal cord preparations were transferred in an extracellular solution containing 5% PI (Propidium Iodide; P4864, Sigma-Aldrich) and incubated at room temperature for 30 min with gentle agitation. The tissue was then rinsed three times for 10 min in fresh extracellular solution and fixed in 4% PFA overnight at 4 °C. After thorough rinses with PBS; tissues were mounted on glass slides in an 80% glycerol (G9012, Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS mounting solution. In some experiments (Supplementary Fig. 1), spinal MNs were first traced as described above (see “Spinal motoneuron tracing” section) and then processed for PI labeling.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
