HeLa cells were inoculated in 6-well plates transfected with the target plasmids for 36 h, or MARC-145 cells were infected with PRRSV strain HN07-1 for 12 h. The cells were collected and fixed using 2.5% glutaraldehyde fixative (Servicebio, Cat. No. G1102) at RT for 30 min. The fixed cells were dehydrated with a graded series of ethanol and finally embedded in pure LR White resin at 4°C (HaideBio, Cat. No. 14381-UC) using BEEM capsules (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Cat. No. 69920–00). After polymerization with a low-temperature UV polymerizer (UVCC2515; Electron Microscopy, Beijing, China), the resin blocks were sliced into 70- to 80-nm thin slices on an ultramicrotome (UC7; Leica, Wetzlar, Germany), and the ultrathin sections were then fished out onto the 150-mesh nickel grids with a Formvar film (Head Biotechnology Co., Cat. No. FCF200-Cu-50). Finally, the samples were observed at 80 kV using TEM (Ht7800/Ht7700; Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan). Representative images were shown.

The collected cells were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde fixative (Servicebio, China) for 30 minutes, followed by PBS cleaning and wrapping in 1% agarose. Then, fix at room temperature with 1% osmium acid in the dark for 2 hours, and sequentially add 30%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 95%, 100%, and 100% alcohol to dehydrate for 20 minutes each time, and 100% acetone twice, each time for 15 minutes. Then, after penetration embedding, remove the resin block and slice it into ultra-thin sections using an ultra-thin slicer (Leica UC7, Leica). The slices are then placed in a copper mesh box and dried overnight at room temperature. Finally, we observed and photographed under a transmission electron microscope (HT7800/HT7700, HITACHI).

Cells (2 × 105 cells/well) seeded in a 6-well plate were cultured in DMEM and 10% FBS containing 10 mM glutamate and 25 µM SB202190 for 24 hours in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. The cells were fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde fixative (Servicebio, Wuhan, China) at room temperature in the dark for 5 minutes. The cells were scraped off with a cell scraper and centrifuged (100 × g, 5 minutes). The fixative was discarded and fresh electron microscope fixative was added (Servicebio, Wuhan, China). The cells were fixed at room temperature for 30 minutes in the dark. Next, 1% osmium tetroxide (Servicebio) was used for post-fixing at room temperature (20°C) for 2 hours. After dehydration with gradient concentrations of alcohol (50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%) and acetone, cells were embedded in epoxy resin (Servicebio). The samples were cut into 60–80 nm ultra-thin sections for uranium-lead (Servicebio) double staining and then examined under a transmission electron microscope (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
