Drosophila melanogaster embryo (20–24 h)-derived S2 cell line was maintained in Schneider’s insect media (GIBCO, Gaithersburg MD) with 10% heat-inactivated FBS and 1% Penicillin–Streptomycin, at 25 °C in the tissue culture incubator.

In Vitro Cultivation and Isolation of Leishmania Major Parasites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Leishmania major and DsRed L. major Friedlin strain parasites were grown in vitro in Schneider’s insect media (Gibco) supplemented with 20% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Invitrogen), 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 U/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM L-glutamine (MilliporeSigma). Metacyclic promastigotes used for infections were isolated from 4–5-day-old cultures using Ficoll gradient separation (MilliporeSigma) [49 (link)].

Live Imaging of Cultured Larval Brains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Third instar larval brains were dissected in Schneider's insect media (Sigma-Aldrich) with 5% Fetal Bovine Solution (FBS, Gibco). Larval brains were then mounted in Fibrinogen (MP Biomedicals; 5 µg diluted in 1mL of Schneider's insect media solution) and clotting was induced using thrombin (MP Biomedicals) in 35 mm MatTek glass bottom dishes. Brains were then cultured in 2 mL of Schneider's insect media containing 5% FBS, 0.5% penicillin (Gibco), Ecdysone (20 nM) (Sigma-Aldrich) and insulin (200 µM) (Sigma-Aldrich). Cultured brains were live imaged for a period between 1-7 hours on a confocal LSM780 (Zeiss).

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.
