Sp5 inverted confocal laser microscope

Manufactured by Leica

The Leica SP5 inverted confocal laser microscope is a high-performance imaging system designed for live-cell and fixed-sample analysis. It features a compact and modular design, allowing for customization to meet specific research needs. The SP5 utilizes laser excitation and confocal detection to provide optical sectioning, enabling the acquisition of detailed, high-resolution images of biological specimens.

Confocal Imaging and 3D Reconstruction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Confocal imaging was performed using a Leica SP5 inverted confocal laser microscope (Leica) and three-dimensional reconstructions were generated using ImageJ. Histology and in situ images were obtained using an Olympus BX51 upright microscope with an Olympus Microfire digital camera. In all experiments, either arm II or III was visualized.

FRAP experiments and analysis were performed as described before (Scotter et al, 2014 (link)) in a Leica SP5 inverted confocal laser microscope using 63X objective (NA 1.4). Cells were plated on 24‐well plates and cultured with phenol red‐free DMEM (Gibco, 31053028).

Macrophage Differentiation and Rhinovirus Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate bone marrow-derived macrophages, mouse bone marrow monocytes were isolated from C C57BL/6J and TLR2−/− (B6.129-Tlr2tm1Kir/J) mice (Jackson Laboratories) and cultured in L929 medium, a source of macrophage colony-stimulating factor, for 7 days 49 (link). Human primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC; Precision for Medicine, Frederick, MD) were cultured in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 20ng/mL of recombinant human M-CSF. THP-1 human monocytic cells (ATCC) were differentiated with 5 ng/ml of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate as described50 . Cells were infected with RV-A1B and RV-C15 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1.0 at 33°C. To study virus entry, human THP-1-derived macrophages and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages were incubated with RV-A1B or RV-C15 for 1 hour and washed three times with PBS. Viral RNA and CDHR3 mRNA expression were quantified by qPCR (see below) and the presence of RV-C was examined by Western blot and immunofluorescence using anti-EV-D68 vp3. Late endosomes were visualized with anti-EEA1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Images were visualized using a Leica SP5 inverted laser confocal microscope (Buffalo Grove, IL).

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.
