A Hamamatsu C9100-13 camera (−94°C, 0.63 MHz, 16-bit ADC) was used typically with EM gain of 50 (conversion factor 0.044 e/ADU, readout noise 0.470 e RMS, thermal current 0.014 e/sec, established experimentally) (see Berry and Burnell 2005 ). IR was blocked with a FF01-750/SP filter (Semrock). A Zeiss AxioObserver Z1 microscope (Carl Zeiss Microscopy) was equipped with a Zeiss plan-apochromat 150× NA1.35 glycerin immersion objective, P-737 piezoelectric stage (Physik Instrumente), Zeiss Colibri LED illuminator, and custom fluorescence cubes (see Supplemental Table S3 for light sources and filters used for wide-field fluorescence imaging). Yeast cells were grown in complete darkness in the CSM + adenine medium (250 rpm at 25°C, final OD600 ≤ 0.3), manipulated only under dim red light (660 nm), and imaged in CellAsic Y04C microfluidic chambers (CellAsic). Narrowband illumination (671 nm; Edmund Optics, no. 65-233) was used for differential interference contrast. To minimize phototoxicity, low-level excitation (∼7 W/cm2, 1- to 5-sec exposure) was used for fluorescence imaging, and 405-nm light (∼0.7 W/cm2, 7–10 sec) was used for tdEos photoconversion. Typically, Z-stacks consisted of 13 steps, 333-nm apart.

Cells were plated onto 50 µg/ml fibronectin-coated glass coverslips, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, and then permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100. Cells were then incubated with primary antibody followed by species appropriate Alexa Fluor 488 or 568 secondary antibodies and DAPI and Alexa Fluor 647 Phalloidin (Life Technologies). Samples were then mounted to glass slides using Vectashield (#H-1100; Vector Laboratories). Cells were visualized using an UltraView VOX Spinning Disk Confocal Imaging System (PerkinElmer) with a DM1-6000 SD inverted microscope (Leica) and an electron multiplying charge coupled device C9100-13 camera (63×/NA 1.47 oil; Hamamatsu Photonics) or a TCS SP5 II laser scanning confocal imaging system with five spectral detectors (63×/NA 1.40 oil; Leica). 3D reconstruction and nuclear height measurements were performed with Volocity Software version 6.1.1.

Tissue cryosections were washed in 1X PBS then blocked for 1h at room temperature (RT) in 1X PBS/0.3% Triton X-100/3% normal donkey or goat serum (blocking solution). Slides were incubated overnight at 4°C with blocking solution containing dilutions of the following antibodies: rabbit anti-ALDH1L1 (Abcam) 1:500; rabbit anti-cleaved caspase-3 (Biocare Medicare) 1:250; rabbit anti-FoxP1 (Abcam Inc.) 1:400; mouse anti-GAD67 (EMD Millipore) 1:5000; rabbit anti-glycine (Millipore) 1:100; chicken anti-MAP2 (Abcam Inc.) 1:5000; rabbit anti-Olig2 (EMD Millipore) 1:250; mouse anti-TUJ1 (Abcam) 1:500. Sections were washed in 1X PBS and incubated for 1h with secondary antibodies conjugated to DyLight 488 or 549 (Jackson Immunoresearch) at a 1:500 dilution. All slides were counterstained with 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) or NeuroTrace fluorescent Nissl stain (Molecular Probes). After staining, sections were mounted with ProLong Gold to preserve the fluorescent signals and imaged using a Leica DM5500B epifluorescence microscope (Leica Microsystems, Exton, PA) or an inverted Zeiss Axio Observer on a PerkinElmer UltraVIEW VoX spinning disk confocal with a Hamamatsu C9100-13 camera and Volocity software.

Visualizing C. albicans Vacuole Integrity and Cytoskeletal Dynamics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C. albicans vacuole integrity was assessed using the lipophilic vacuole membrane dye MDY-64 (Molecular probes, Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer's recommended procedure. Briefly, cells were grown overnight on RPMI liquid medium with pH 4.5 at 30°C. Cells were pelleted and washed twice with fresh RPMI pH 4.5 and resuspended in the same medium at an OD595 of 0.1. VPA was added at different concentrations (10, 50, and 100 μg/ml). Cells were incubated for 2 h at 30°C under agitation. Aliquots were taken from VPA-treated and non-treated cultures and the MDY-64 was added at a final concentration of 10 μM. Cells were incubated at room temperature for 3 min prior to confocal microscopy visualization. Images were acquired with a 1.3-numerical-aperture (NA) 63x objective on a Leica DMI6000B inverted microscope connected to a Hamamatsu C9100-13 camera.
Pan1-green fluorescent protein (GFP), End3-GFP and LIFEACT-GFP (Epp et al., 2013 (link)) were visualized using confocal microscopy as follow: an overnight culture was diluted in SC supplemented with 10 or 50 μg/ml VPA to an OD595nm of 0.05 and grown for four generations at 30°C under agitation. Cells were imaged as described for the vacuole staining experiments.

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.
