Immunofluorescence was performed by ice cold methanol or PFA fixation of MEFs, human fibroblasts, HLE-B3 and HeLa cells followed by standard procedures (31 (link), 35 (link)). Cells were stained with DAPI, TO-PRO-3 iodide (Thermo Fischer) or Sytox Green (Thermo Fischer) and examined with either Zeiss Observer-Z1 microscope, equipped with the Apotome, Leica TCS-II SP5 or Leica TSC-II SP8 confocal microscope. Zebrafish embryos were fixed overnight in PFA 4%, nucleiwere stainedwith TO-PRO-3 iodide (Thermo Fisher). Whole mounted embryos were examined with Leica TSC-II SP5 or Leica TSC-II SP8 confocal microscope. Raw images were digitally processed only to normalize the background and enhance the contrast. Z-stacks were acquired and processed with the Maximum Projection tool. 3D morphometric measurement and reconstruction was performed with Imaris (BitPlane, Zurich, Switzerland). Fluorescence intensity was calculated with ImageJ tools, modifying existing protocols (50 (link)), (https://theolb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/imaging/measuring-cell-fluorescenceusing-imagej.html) and as outlined in fig. S20. Whiskers plots show either 90/10, 95/5 or 97.5/2.5 percentile, and the median in the center line.

At the end of the experimental period, animals were euthanized with a lethal dose of pentobarbital (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) early in the morning. After marking the dorsal margin of the sclerocorneal limbus, the eyes were enucleated and fixed following a described protocol.36 (link) Cornea, lens, and vitreous body were removed, and the eyecups were embedded in Tissue-Tek OCT (Sakura Finetek, Zoeterwouden, The Netherlands) and processed to obtain vertical 16-µm cryostat sections along the nasal-temporal axis and through the optic nerve (Leica CM 1900 cryostat; Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany). Sections were mounted on slides (Superfrost Plus; Menzel GmbH and Co. KG, Braunschweig, Germany) and washed before the primary antibody incubation. Retinal sections were then incubated overnight with primary antibodies (Table).
The secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor 555/488/633 anti-mouse, anti-rabbit, anti-goat, or anti-guinea pig (1:100; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA), as appropriate. In some cases, the nuclear marker TO-PRO 3 iodide (Molecular Probes) was added at a dilution of 1:1000. Finally, images were obtained under a Leica TCS SP8 confocal laser-scanning microscope (Leica Microsystems) and sections were processed in parallel using Adobe Photoshop 10 software (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA, USA).

The hemolymph was collected from control and WSSV-injected shrimps at 6, 24 and 48 hpi, as well as from moribund shrimps, and immediately fixed by incubation in 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 10 min. The fixed hemocytes were washed in PBS (centrifugation stage at 800×g at 4°C for 10 min) and resuspended in PBS. About 106 hemocytes were attached onto each SuperFrost microscope slide by centrifugation at 1000×g for 10 min. Slides were blocked in 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum in PBS at room temperature for 1 h and then probed with purified rabbit polyclonal antibody specific to PmVRP15 and purified mouse monoclonal antibody specific to VP28 (WSSV capsid protein) for 1 h at room temperature and washed three times in 0.05% (v/v) Tween-20 in PBS to remove non-specific binding. The Alexa 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG and Alexa 568-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) were applied to the slides and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. The slides were then washed three times as above, incubated with TO-PRO-3 iodide (Molecular Probes) to stain the nuclear DNA and then washed once with PBS. Mounting medium, ProLong Gold antifade (Molecular Probes), was applied and the slides were examined by CLSM (Olympus). Bright field and fluorescence images were collected for the analyses.

The method was carried out as described earlier.[25 (link)] The 5 min fixation of cultured cells was carried out with frozen (−200°C) acetone: methanol (1:1 v/v) mixture at the room temperature. To block the nonspecific binding sites, fixed cells were incubated for 1 h with blocking solution prepared using 3% bovine serum solution and goat serum in 1:1 (v/v) ratio. The pan myeloid surface marker CD45 was detected using antibody CD45 (Chemicaon International). The enzyme, prolyl-4-hydroxylase (PH 4B), was detected with antibody prolyl 4-hydroxylase (DAKO, Hamburg, Germany). For intracellular collagen 1, cells were stained with antibody collagen 1 (Biodesign, New York, NY). All primary antibodies were used in the 1:100 dilution for staining. Then cells were stained with respective fluorochrome-conjugated secondary antibodies. Finally, cells were stained with nuclear dye, TO-PRO-3 iodide (Molecular Probes). The respective IgG served as isotype controls. Images were captured using a confocal microscope (Leica, Wetzler, Germany).

Nuclei were stained using TO-PRO®-3 iodide (1:10,000; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) in PBS for 10 min. Transwells were mounted on microscope slides with Vectashield® mounting medium (Vector Laboratories, Newark, CA, USA, H-1000-10). Monolayers were analyzed using a Leica laser scanning confocal microscope (model TCS-SP8, Wetzlar, Germany). Each individual xy image represents a three-dimensional projection of the entire monolayer (sum of all images in the stack).

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.
