One hundred unembryonated eggs were treated with water, 1% v/v DMSO in water or test compounds at a final concentration of 100 μM (unless stated) with 1% v/v DMSO, in the dark at 26°C, either for 56 days or for shorter periods as described. Images were collected on an Olympus BX63 upright microscope using a 60x / 1.42 PlanApo N (Oil) objective and captured and white-balanced using an DP80 camera (Olympus) in monochrome mode through CellSens Dimension v1.16 (Olympus). Images were then processed and analysed using the image analysis platform Fiji [18 (link)].

1 × 105 control or ICAM-1 KO E0771 cells were seeded on a μ-SlideVI0.4 ibiTreat (ibidi) previously coated with 5 μg/ml fibronectin (Cat. #F1141, Sigma). A day later, the ibidi slide was connected to a microfluidic flow system. OT-1 CTLs were prepared as described above and perfused in binding medium (Hank’s balanced-salt solution containing 2-mg/ml BSA and 10-mM HEPES pH 7.4, supplemented with 1-mM CaCl2 and 1-mM MgCl2) into the chamber and allowed to settle on the different E0771 cell monolayers for 4 min in the absence of shear flow. Adherent CTLs were subsequently subjected to progressively increasing shear stresses (started at 5 dyn/cm2 and increased to 30 dyn/cm2 with 5-s-long intervals as described (37 (link))). Real time imaging was performed utilizing a phase contrast IX83 Inverted Microscope (Olympus) and CTLs that remained firmly adherent to the E0771 monolayers at the end of the detachment assay were counted using cellSens Dimension v1.16 software (Olympus). The fractions of adherent CTLs out of originally settled CTLs were determined in nine fields of view (664 × 664 μm; 324 × 324 nm/pixel).

For mouse tissue, images were collected on an Olympus BX63 upright microscope using a 20×/0.75 UApo/340 objective and captured and white-balanced using a DP80 camera (Olympus) in color mode through CellSens Dimension v1.16 (Olympus). For human tissue, images were acquired on a slide-scanner microscope (Leica) using a 20×/0.30 Plan Achromat objective (Zeiss). Snapshots of the slide-scans were taken using Aperio ImageScope (Leica). Images were then processed and analyzed using Fiji ImageJ (http://imagej.net/Fiji/Downloads). For mice, 8 fields per region (cortex and choroid) were quantified, for a total area of 2.9 mm2. For each human case, four 4 mm2 fields were quantified in each region, for a total of 16 mm2 per region. Several parameters were measured to assess CD8+ T cell accumulation in each region: absolute number of CD8+ T cells, proportion of vessels with CD8+ T cells, proportion of CD8+ T cells that have transmigrated across the vascular lumen. In human cases both parasitized and non-parasitized vessels were examined. If detected, CD8+ monocytes were not included in counts, and were distinguishable from lymphocytes due to their clearly defined kidney-shaped nuclei. Scoring was performed blinded to CM status by two independent observers, with <10% intra-observer variation found.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) was performed as described in Perland et al. (2016) (link) on transfected SH-SY5Y cells and wild-type HEK293T cells (only anti-UNC93A) with antibodies all diluted in anti-UNC93A [rabbit, 1:100ab69443, Abcam, (Ceder et al., 2017 (link))], anti-KCNK3 [mouse, 1:100, ab186352 Abcam, (Schmidt et al., 2015 (link))], anti-KCNK9 (mouse, 1:100, Sigma, K0514), and anti-Flag [mouse, 1:200, F3165, Sigma, (Sriramachandran et al., 2019 )]. Images were acquired using Olympus microscope BX55 with an Olympus DP73 camera and the cellSens Dimension v1.14 (Olympus) and were then handled using ImageJ, Fiji edition (Schindelin et al., 2012 (link)). The epitope against UNC93A was pair-wise aligned against the three isoforms of CG4928 (FBpp0074118, FBpp0074119, and FBpp0309738) using EMBOSS Needle (global alignment) and EMBOSS Water (local alignment) to investigate protein identity and similarity (Li et al., 2015 (link)) (Supplementary Dataset S4).

Adult flies were dissected to study the gene expression pattern in Malpighian tubules. To induce CG4928 cells to express green fluorescent protein (GFP), the Pin/Pin-UAS-GFP and the enhancer trap CG4928-GAL4 lines were crossed. Flies were fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 1 h, followed by washing five times in 1 × phosphate-buffered saline with Tween-20 (PBST; 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 1.8 mM KH2PO4, and 0.1% Tween-20, Sigma Aldrich). Dissection was performed in 1 × PBST on silicon-coated petri dishes. Tissues were mounted on Superfrost Plus slides in 50% glycerol solution. Images were acquired with an Olympus microscope BX55 with an Olympus DP73 camera and the cellSens Dimension v1.14 (Olympus). Images were then handled using ImageJ, Fiji edition (Schindelin et al., 2012 (link)).

All fluorescence microscopy images and corresponding brightfield images were obtained on an Olympus IX73 microscope. All probe 2 cell images were obtained using a filter cube consisting of 380–420 nm excitation bandpass filter, a 484 nm dichroic mirror, and a 513–604 nm emission bandpass filter. Cell images of 3 were acquired using a filter cube comprising 503–557 nm excitation bandpass filter, a 580 nm dichroic mirror, and a 600–700 nm emission bandpass filter. All cells were plated in 8-chambered wells (Lab-Tek® Chambered #1.0 Borosilicate Coverglass System) at a density of 5 × 104 cells per well one day before imaging. The cells were washed once with DPBS, and were incubated in Opti-MEM with or without 100 μM LPA for 1 h. 20 μM probe 2 was then diluted into the appropriate wells and the cells were incubated for 3 h. The cells were washed five times in DPBS and were imaged in DPBS. All images were analysed using Olympus CellSens Dimension V1.18. H&E images were acquired from a Nikon Eclipse 50i Microscope with a Nikon DS-Ri1 camera and NIS-Elements BR3.0 software.

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.
