Ba/F3 cells were purchased from DSMZ and maintained in 90% RPMI (Gibco), 10% HI-FBS (Gibco), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco), and 10ng/ml IL-3 (Fisher), and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2. Ba/F3 cells were passaged at or below 1.0E6 cells/ml in order to avoid acquired IL-3 resistance, and regularly checked for IL-3 addiction by performing 3x PBS (Gibco) washes and outgrowth in the absence of IL-3 to confirm cell death in the parental, empty cell line.
Plat-E cells stably expressing retroviral envelope and packaging plasmids were originally gifted by Dr. Wendell Lim. Plat-E cells were maintained in 90% DMEM+HEPES (Gibco), 10% HI-FBS (Gibco), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco), 10ug/ml blasticidin, 1ug/ml puromycin, and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2.

African green monkey kidney Vero E6 (ATCC CRL-1586) cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM; Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, United States) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco), penicillin (100 U/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, United States), and streptomycin (100 μg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich) (P/S). Vero cells were cultured as monolayers in T25 cell culture flasks (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmünster, Austria) at 37°C with 5% CO2, and split every 3–4 days. Prior to infections, Vero cells were seeded in DMEM containing 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (DMEM-HEPES; Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS, penicillin (100 U/ml), and streptomycin (100 μg/ml), hereafter named DMEM-supplemented. Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells (ATCC CRL-1660) were cultured in Leibovitz L-15 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS, 2% tryptose phosphate broth (Gibco), and 1% nonessential amino acids (Gibco), hereafter named Leibovitz-complete. Aedes aegypti Aag2 cells were cultured in Schneider’s Drosophila medium (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) supplemented with 10% FBS, hereafter named Schneider’s-complete. Both C6/36 and Aag2 cells were cultured as monolayers in T25 flasks at 28°C, and split every 3–4 days.

HeLa Cell Culture and Infection

HeLa cells (Supplementary file 2) were grown in DMEM supplemented with 300 μg/ml L-Glutamine, 100 U/ml Penicillin, 100 μg/ml Streptomycin and 10% FCS at 37°C and 5% CO2. For infection experiments, HeLa cells were seeded in 24-well plates. When cultures reached ~106 cells/well, they were washed twice with PBS and medium was changed to DMEM-HEPES (Gibco, United States) without supplements. HeLa cells were routinely tested for absence of mycoplasma contamination by EZ-PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit (Biological Industries LTD., Israel).

C6/36 (ATCC CRL-1660) and Culex tarsalis cells (CDC, Fort Collins, CO) were grown on Leibovitz L15 and Schneiders (Gibco) medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco). Hela (ATCC CCL-2), DF-1 (ATCC CRL-12203) and Vero E6 (ATCC CRL-1586) cells were cultured with DMEM Hepes (Gibco, Bleiswijk, The Netherlands) buffered medium supplemented with 10% FBS containing penicillin (100IU/ml) and streptomycin (100μg/ml). When Vero E6 cells were incubated with mosquito lysates or saliva the growth medium was supplemented with fungizone (2,5μg/ml) and gentamycin (50μg/ml). P2 virus stocks of the NY’99 and Gr’10 isolates were grown on C6/36 cells and titrated on Vero E6 cells.

Fibrillar Collagen Gel Fabrication

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fibrillar collagen gels were prepared from acid-solubilized rat-tail
collagen I (BD Biosciences), as described previously.26 (link),31 (link),32 (link) Briefly, high-concentration collagen
was diluted to 6 mg/mL with PBS, and then NaOH (1 N) was added to
neutralize the pH; afterward, an equal amount of Dulbecco modified
Eagle medium (DMEM)–Hepes (Gibco) was added to dilute the collagen
to a 3 mg/mL solution. Finally, collagen gels with different physical
cues were generated at different polymerization temperatures (4, 21,
and 37 °C) and corresponding polymerization times of overnight
(15 h), 2 h, and 30 min, respectively.

Bacterial Activation and Isolation Protocol

The used bacterial strains, plasmids and primers are listed (Supplementary file 2 and 3).
Activating conditions: Following the procedure in (Kenny et al., 1997 (link)), bacterial strains were grown overnight (O/N) in LB medium (Sigma, Israel) at 37°C without shaking, diluted 1:40 into DMEM-HEPES (Gibco, Israel) medium and incubated for 3 hr at 37°C without shaking to exponential phase (O.D.~0.3).
Non-activating conditions: bacteria were plated in LB agar at a concentration below 200 cfu/plate and incubated at 32°C.
For analysis of bacteria isolate directly from colonies, BIG and SMALL colonies were collected according to their size at 17 hr (1000 min) after plating and diluted in 0.9% NaCl to density of ~108 bacteria/ml.

E. coli strains were grown for 24 h at 37 °C in 10 ml DMEM-HEPES (Gibco), resuspended in 500 µl Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS; Invitrogen) and then crushed with a Precellys instrument (Ozyme). After addition of an internal standard mixture (deuterium-labelled compounds; 400 ng ml−1), cold methanol (MeOH) was added and samples were solid-phase extracted on HLB plates (OASIS HLB 2 mg, 96-well plate; Waters). Lipids were eluted with MeOH, evaporated under N2, resuspended in MeOH and analysed by HPLC/MS-MS analysis (LC-MS/MS) (MetaToulLipidomics Facility), as described previously [21 (link)].

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.
