The sections were treated with 0.1% Triton X-100 and PBS at room temperature for 15 min. After three washes with PBS, sections were incubated with 10% normal goat serum (ImmunoBioScience Corp., Mukilteo, WA, USA) in PBS at room temperature for 1 h. They were then washed thrice with PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in PBS containing biotinylated Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA) (B-1355, Vector Laboratories; 1:200) and/or antibodies described in the subsequent text. After washing with PBS, the sections were incubated with Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated streptavidin (S11227; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) and/or the corresponding secondary antibodies (described in the subsection Antibodies and lectins) at room temperature for 2 h. The labeled sections were then rinsed with PBS and mounted on glass slides using Vectashield medium (H-1400; Vector Laboratories, Funakoshi Co., Tokyo, Japan).

Coverslips with fixed MEF cells were prepared, washed in PBS, and blocked with 1% BSA/PBS for 5 min. Following a PBS wash, the nuclei were stained using Hoechst (Life Technologies Molecular Probes, Grand Island, NY) 1:100 in H2O for 30 min at 37°C. Cells were then blocked using a casein block solution (Scytek) for 5 min, AVIDIN/Biotin blocks (VECTOR) for 20 min each at room temperature (RT) followed by a 5 min PBS wash. Biotinylated p5+14 or CGGY-p5G (control) at 1.6 μg/mL in PBS was added and incubated overnight at 4°C. Following a PBS wash Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated streptavidin (Molecular Probes) was added at a 1:200 dilution in PBS for 1h at RT. Cells were then permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma) in PBS for 10 min at RT and washed with a solution of 1% BSA in PBS for 30 min. The cells were then stained with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated phalloidin (Molecular Probes) at a 1:100 dilution of stock in 1% BSA/PBS, for 45 min at RT to visualize actin filaments. Slides were cover-slipped using a fluorescent mounting medium (Dako) to minimize photobleaching.

Sixteen-micrometer cross cryosections of paraformaldehyde-fixed SC tissues were used. Tissue sections were imaged using a Zeiss LSM 800 confocal microscope. For Gfap staining, mouse anti-Gfap (ZIRC, Zrf1, AB_10013806, 1:1000) and Alexa Fluor-488 anti-mouse secondary antibody (Invitrogen, 1:200) were used. For anterograde axon labeling, zebrafish were anesthetized using MS-222 and fine scissors were used to transect the spinal cord 4 mm rostral to the lesion site. Biocytin-soaked Gelfoam Gelatin Sponge was applied at the new injury site (Gelfoam, Pfizer, cat# 09-0315-08; Biocytin, saturated solution, Sigma, cat# B4261). Fish were euthanized 4 hours post-treatment and Biocytin was histologically detected using Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated Streptavidin (Molecular Probes, cat# S-11227).

A frozen aliquot of pneumococcus was thawed, washed by centrifugation, and re-suspended with 1 ml of HBC. Then, 250 μl of this suspension was mixed with 5 μl of biotin-conjugated DBA or HPA (50 μg/ml final concentration) and incubated for 30 min on ice. After washing with HBC, the bacteria were incubated with 2 μg/ml Alexa Fluor-594-conjugated streptavidin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL) for 30 min on ice. To visualize the capsule of D39 and SPEC6B, the bacteria were also incubated with Hyp2M2 and Hyp6BM1, respectively, and visualized with Alexa Fluor-488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgM [23 (link)]. Bacteria were washed and re-suspended in PBS with 5 μM DRAQ5 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated in the dark for 15 min at room temperature (RT). After washing twice with PBS, the bacterial pellet was re-suspended in 10% neutral buffered formalin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and transferred to a cover slip to dry for 15 min at RT. The coverslip was washed three times with PBS, allowed to dry, and then placed on a slide with 20 μl of Fluromount G (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After a 1-hour incubation at RT, bacteria were examined with either confocal or structured illumination microscopy (Nikon A1R), using a 100X oil objective.

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.
