Quantifying Phagosome-Lysosome Fusion by FRET

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cDC1 sorted from Flt3L-cultured BM cells were incubated with 100 μg/ml Alexa Fluor 594-Hydrazide (Cat#A10438; Invitrogen) for 4 h. Then cells were washed with PBS and were incubated without tracer for a further 12 h to allow accumulation of the dye in lysosomes. Cells were resuspended in new DC medium supplemented with Alexa Fluor 488-labeled HKLM-OVA. Then cells were rinsed and resuspended in medium at 37 °C for analysis by spectrofluorometer. As lysosomes fuse with phagosomes, the donor Alexa Fluor 488 comes into close proximity with acceptor Alexa Fluor 594, causing FRET. The degree of lysosomes fused with phagosomes could be calculated from the ratio between the FRET-generated emission at 620 nm and the donor emission at 510 nm using the equation RFU = FRT/DRT-FBO/DBO, where RFU represented relative FRET units, FRT represented FRET-generated fluorescent emission, DRT represented Donor emission, FBO represented FRET signal contribution of HKLM-OVA alone and DBO represented Donor emission of HKLM-OVA alone. Fluorescent measurements were taken every 1 min for 3 h.

The extracellular perfusing solution was continuously bubbled with 95% O 2 -5% CO 2 and had the following composition (in mM): 125 NaCl, 25 NaHCO 3 , 2.5 KCl, 2.5 CaCl 2 , 1 MgCl 2 , and 10 glucose, pH 7.4. The recording pipettes were filled with an intracellular solution of the following composition (in mM): 125 K-gluconate, 5 KCl, 8 NaCl, 0.2 EGTA, 10 Hepes, 4 MgATP, and 0.4 Na 3 GTP (pH was adjusted to 7.3 with KOH). The pipette solution also contained Alexa Fluor 594 hydrazide (40 -60 µM), as a sodium salt (Invitrogen / Molecular Probes).
Patch pipettes were pulled from thick-walled borosilicate glass (outer diameter, 1.5 mm; inner diameter, 0.86 mm; BF150-86-10; Sutter Instrument) and the open tip resistance was 7 -12 M" when filled with the intracellular solution. Whole cell voltage clamp recordings were performed with an EPC10-triple amplifier controlled by PatchMaster software (HEKA Elektronik, Lambrecht/Pfalz, Germany). During image acquisition, cells were voltage clamped at a holding potential of -60 mV (corrected for the liquid junction potential).

Whole-Cell Patch-Clamp of Layer 3 Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Layer 3 neurons from acute cortical slices (P24 rat) were whole-cell patch-clamped with borosilicate glass electrodes (3–4 MΩ). The intracellular recording solution consisted of the following (in mm): 113 K-gluconate, 2 MgCl2, 8 Na-gluconate, 3 KCl, 1 K2-EGTA, 4 K2-ATP, and 0.3 Na3-GTP at pH 7.25 with 10 HEPES. The solution also contained 50 µm AlexaFluor 594 hydrazide (ThermoFisher) to visualize the morphology of the dendritic arbor. The example cell was dialyzed with dye for 30 min before the patch electrode was slowly withdrawn before imaging. Images were post-processed in Fiji to subtract background using rolling ball radius, and enhance connectivity while removing speckles using the Gaussian Blur 3D filter and smooth functions.

Mice were deeply anesthetized with ketamine, and perfused with 0.9% w/v Sodium Chloride, then perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate buffer (PB). The brain tissues were removed and post-fixed in 4% PFA in PB for 30 min. Using a vibratome, 100 µm coronal sections were sliced and stored in 1× dPBS. Alexa Fluor® 594 Hydrazide (Thermo Fisher Scientific A10438) was injected into CA1 pyramidal neurons to follow neuronal projections. Injected slices were post-fixed for 15 min on 4% PFA in PB prior to mounting with Aqua-Poly/Mount (Polysciences Inc. 18606-20).

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.
