Characterization of BMC Cages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 4-μL droplet of BMC cages (either self-assembled or from dissolved crystals) was deposited onto formvar/carbon-coated Cu grids (Ted Pella, Inc.) (pretreated by negative-mode glow discharge up to 15 min prior) and allowed to bind for 5 min. The grids were then washed with 50 μL of MilliQ water, blotted using Whatman filter paper and stained using 2% uranyl acetate solution in water and blotted again. Grids were imaged using a FEI Sphera transmission electron microscope operating at 200 keV, equipped with a LaB6 filament and a Gatan 4K CCD camera. Micrographs were collected using objective-lens underfocus settings ranging from 250 nm to 2 μm and analyzed using Fiji (http://fiji.sc/Fiji).

For negative staining, 2.5 μl protein solution consisting of RodA:PBP2 complex at a concentration of 0.005 mg ml−1 in 0.01% DDM (w/v) was added to a glow-discharged carbon-coated copper grid (Electron Microscopy Science) and allowed to adsorb for 30 s. Grids were then washed twice with deionized water and stained twice with freshly prepared 1.5% (w/v) uranyl formate. Filter paper was applied to the grid to absorb residual liquid between each step. Samples were then allowed to dry for approximately 2 min. Images used to generate the 2D classes shown in Figure 3 were collected at room temperature using a Philips Tecnai T12 electron microscope equipped with an LaB6 filament and operated at 120 kV. Images were collected at a magnification of 67,000-fold, corresponding to a pixel size of 1.68 Å, and a defocus value of −1.5 μm on a Gatan 4K CCD camera using a low-dose collection procedure. Approximately 1000 particles were manually picked in Relion36 (link), then an auto-picking routine picked the remaining particles for a total of 32,152. Two-dimensional class averages were calculated with Relion. Similar class averages were observed when calculated with EMAN237 (link).

Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Outer Membrane Vesicles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Holey carbon film-covered 300 mesh copper grids (HC300-Cu, PELCO) were glow-discharged in an (Ar, O2)-atmosphere for 10 s on the carbon side. Samples (1–10 mg ml−1) of 4 μl volumes were pipetted onto grids. Grids were blotted in 100% humidity at 4 °C for 3 s and plunge-frozen into liquid ethane cooled by liquid nitrogen using a Vitrobot (FEI, Hillsboro, OR). Liquid nitrogen was used to store grids. Grids were then transferred to the electron microscope using a cryostage. Images of OMVs within the holes in the carbon film were obtained by using a Tecnai F20 electron microscope (FEI) at 200 keV with a 70 μm objective aperture. For each exposure, the low dose condition was ~20e Å−2. Images were taken at 5k or 50k magnification and 2–3 μm defocus and recorded on a 4k × 4k CCD camera (Gatan, USA).

Transmission Electron Microscopy Imaging

Multiple ultrathin sections (of 70–80 nm) were cut on a Reichart Ultracut E, collected on Formvar coated copper slot grids, post-stained with uranyl acetate (saturated solution) and Reynold’s lead citrate, and initially imaged at a JEOL JEM-1200EX TEM with a 1k CCD camera (GATAN) in order to get overview maps of the sections and localize the cells of interest. Then, for high-resolution images of these cells, we imaged them at a 200 kV Tecnai F20 intermediate voltage TEM (FEI, Inc., Hillsboro, OR, USA) with a 4k CCD camera (GATAN), at 19,000× magnification (1.12 nm pixel size). For large overviews of the cells at medium magnification, we acquired montages of overlapping images in an automated fashion using the microscope control software SerialEM.60 (link)

Structural Analysis of NA-Fab Complexes

Recombinant NA and Fabs were diluted with buffer (5mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl pH 7.3) to approximately 0.02 mg/mL and 0.04 mg/mL respectively. To prepare Fab bound samples, equal volumes of NA and Fabs 1F2 or 4F11 were mixed and incubated for 5–10 minutes. The samples were adsorbed to plasma cleaned (Solarus Model 950 cleaner, Gatan Inc., Pleasanton, CA) EM grids coated with continuous carbon film that were subsequently washed with buffer and stained with 0.75% uranyl formate. Images were collected using EPU software (FEI Company, Hillsboro, OR) on a Tecnai T12 electron microscope (FEI Company) fitted with a 4K CCD camera (Gatan Inc.) at an effective pixel size of 0.18 nm in the specimen plane. The software package RELION 1.4 (50 (link)) was used to obtain 3D reconstructions. The maps for unbound NA, and for the complexes with 1F2, and 4F11 were constructed using 47,592, 4,326, and 13,665 particles, respectively and visualized using UCSF Chimera software (51 (link)).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cultured bMECs in six-well plates were challenged with HB-AF5 or HLJ-D2 K. pneumoniae (MOI = 5), with noninfected bMECs similarly incubated as a control. At 6 hpi, bMECs were washed with PBS (pH 7.2), fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde and 1% paraformaldehyde (pH 7.2; Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Shanghai, China) for 45 min at room temperature and processed for TEM [15 (link)]. After washing with PBS, the fixed cells were harvested with a rubber scraper (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then, cells were dehydrated using graded ethanol and acetone (three changes, 10 min each) and sequentially embedded in epoxy resin acetone mixtures (2:1) for 2 h and then in pure resin overnight at 37 °C. After resin had polymerized, ultra-thin sections were cut (Leica EM, Wetzlar, Germany), stained with 1% uranyl acetate followed by lead citrate, and viewed with a transmission electron microscope (Hitachi H-7650) at 80 kV. Imaging was performed using a 4 k CCD camera (Gatan Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA) and iTEM software.

TEM Imaging of Self-Assembled Micelles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TEM imaging of the self-assembled and complexed micelles was performed
on a Philips CM120 transmission electron microscope using a LaB6 filament and operated at an accelerating voltage of 120 kV.
Images were recorded using a Gatan 4 k CCD camera. TEM grids (copper,
400 mesh with a carbon support film) were glow-discharged prior to
sample preparation (15 s at 40 mA and 300 V). Specimens were prepared
by deposition of 5 μL of the micellar solution (c = 0.3 g L–1 in ethanol for PS-b-PAA micelles and c = 0.6 g L–1 in buffer for C3Ms) onto the grid and adsorption for 1 min before
blotting. Before the specimen was fully dried, 5 μL of 2 wt
% uranyl acetate staining solution was deposited onto the grid; this
was immediately blotted, and a new 5 μL drop of staining solution
was deposited and left to adsorb for 1 min before blotting. TEM images
were analyzed using ImageJ software, employing brightness and contrast
correction tools to enhance the general quality of the snapshots and
calculate the average particle size (including its mean standard deviation).

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.
