Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human-derived SUM159 cells gene-edited to add a HaloTag to both alleles of AP-2 σ2 were a gift from T. Kirchhausen54 (link). Cells were further gene-edited to knock out both alleles of endogenous Eps15 using CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) to produce the Eps15 knockout cells developed previously by our group12 (link).
Cells were grown in 1:1 DMEM high glucose: Ham’s F-12 (Hyclone, GE Healthcare) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone), Penicillin/Streptomycin/l-glutamine (Hyclone), 1 μg ml−1 hydrocortisone (H4001; Sigma-Aldrich), 5 μg ml−1 insulin (I6634; Sigma-Aldrich) and 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 and incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Cells were seeded onto acid-washed coverslips at a density of 3 × 104 cells per coverslip for 24 h before transfection with 1μg of plasmid DNA using 3 μl Fugene HD transfection reagent (Promega). HaloTagged AP-2 σ2 was visualized by adding Janelia Fluor 646- HaloTag ligand (Promega). Ligand (100 nM) was added to cells and incubated at 37 °C for 15 min. Cells were washed with fresh medium and imaged immediately.

Cath.-a-differentiated (CAD) cells were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and cultured in DMEM/F12 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 8% fetal calf serum, 1% L-Glutamine, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Two to four hours prior to imaging, CAD cells were plated on coverslips coated overnight at 4 °C with 10 µg/mL laminin (Sigma-Aldrich). DMEM/F12 medium without phenol red (Gibco) supplemented with 15mM HEPES was used for live-cell imaging. Cell lines were also routinely tested for mycoplasma using the Universal Detection Kit (ATCC). PFN1 KO cells were generated with CRISPR/Cas9 as previously described (28 (link)). CAD cells were transfected with plasmid DNA via electroporation as previously described (28 (link)) or with LipoD293 (SignaGen, “Hard-To-Transfect Mammalian Cell” protocol). Cells expressing HaloTag constructs were incubated overnight with 10–100 nM Janelia Fluor 646 HaloTag ligand (Promega) (61 (link)). EGFP-NM2A knock-in MEFs were generated from mice (62 (link)), and isolated and cultured as previously described (40 (link)).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An Axio Observer D1 Microscope equipped with an Alpha Plan-Apochromat 100 × /1.46 Oil immersion Objective (Zeiss, Germany) and an Evolve 512 × 512 EMCCD camera with pixel size 16.0 μm was used in live-cell SMT experiments. For tracking experiments, an additional 2.5 × magnification was equipped on the emission pathway. A Solid-state LaserStack (3i) was used to excite Janelia Fluor® 549 HaloTag® Ligand (Promega; GA1110) at 552 nm, and Janelia Fluor® 646 HaloTag® Ligand (Promega; GA1120) at 640 nm, respectively. To avoid stray-light reflection and reduce background from cell auto-fluorescence, the HILO illumination model was used. A Brightline® single-band laser filter set (Semrock; excitation filter: FF01–561/14, emission filter: FF01–609/54, and dichroic mirror: Di02-R561–25 3 36) was used for the excitation and emission spectra of JF549 and HaloTag® TMR ligand. A Brightline® single-band laser filter set (Semrock; excitation filter: BLP01–635R-25, emission filter: FF01–640/14–25, and dichroic mirror: Di02-R635–25 3 36) for the excitation and emission spectra of JF646. To filter the excitation wavelength, a TIRF laser microscope cube (3i) was used. The microscope and EMCCD camera were controlled by the computer via SlideBook 6.0 software.

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.
