Calcium Imaging of Tadpole Lateral Line

In immobilized tadpoles, the head skin was cut along the midline using superfine scissors to minimize the stretching and the damage to the peripheral LL organs. The hindbrain dorsal roof was opened and some ependymal cells inside the neurocoele were removed to expose neuronal somata using a tungsten dissection needle (47 (link)). Tadpoles were left further in 5 µM Fluo-4 AM (Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK) saline solution for ∼20 min in darkness. After resting the tadpole for ∼20 min, fluorescence images were captured at 10 Hz using a ×10 water immersion lens with a Neo5.5 CMOS camera and the Andor Solis software (Oxford Instruments, UK), around the time when the anterior lateral line was activated by suction. Regions of interest (ROIs) were chosen based on visible increases of fluorescence intensity following suction during video replay. A large blank area void of tissue was chosen to determine background illumination, which was subtracted from all ROI fluorescence intensity measurements. Fluorescence intensities were given as change of intensity in percentages compared with the baseline, i.e., in the absence of sensory stimulation or motor activity at the same ROIs. Any fluorescence increase lower than 5% within 1 s after suction stimulus was classified as lack of response.

Antennae were imaged through a 10x (Zeiss EC Epiplan-Neofluar 10x/0.25) or a 50x (LD EC Epiplan-Neofluar 50x/0.55 DIC) objective mounted on a Zeiss Axio Examiner D1 microscope. For fluorescence, a light source (Zeiss Illuminator HXP 200C) and eGFP filter cube (FL Filter Set 38 HE GFP shift free) were used.
For image acquisition, an EMCCD camera (Andor iXon Ultra, Oxford Instruments), NIS Elements Advanced Research software (Nikon instruments), and Andor Solis software (Oxford Instruments) were used. Recordings were for 20 seconds, at a resolution of 512×512 pixels, and an exposure time of 200 ms (5 Hz).

Raman Spectroscopy of Monolayer and Embedded Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Monolayer cells were trypsinized and resuspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) prior to Raman spectroscopy, whereas embedded cells were immersed in PBS to prevent dehydration. For data acquisition, a custom-built Raman spectrometer was connected to an Olympus IX71 fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Hamburg, Germany) and equipped with an 85-mW, 785-nm diode laser (TOPTICA Photonics, Gräfelfing, Germany), a blocking filter to separate the elastic Rayleigh scattering, and a spectrograph (Kaiser Optical Systems, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) with an iDus CCD camera (Andor Technology, Belfast, UK). Thirty individual cells were analysed per experiment with 100 s integration time. Data were acquired using Andor Solis software (Andor Technology) and Cell^B software (Olympus). A background spectrum was taken from each focal plane for subsequent data analysis.

Optogenetic Stimulation: Blue Light Intensity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In a typical experimental procedure, the field of view was chosen using the 20× objective. The protocol applied consisted in steps of increasing blue light intensity (corresponding to 10% of the LED power) equal to 7 mW/cm2 (± 1 mW/cm2) measured at the sample from 0 to 67 mW/cm2. Each recording consisted of 10 pulses of blue light (470 nm) applied to a defined area or to the whole field of view. Pulses duration chosen were 10, 100, 250, and 500 ms and each pulse was separated by an interval of 5.5 s. Recordings were performed under continuous green illumination (550 nm, 7% corresponding to 15 mW/cm2 measured at the sample) at 10 frames/s for a total duration of 1 min per field of view (600 frames). The protocols were externally triggered through the LabVIEW script designed in our laboratory and the image acquisition was simultaneously performed through the Andor Solis software (Andor Technology, Belfast, United Kingdom) (Usami et al., 2008 (link)).

To observe the IbpA localization in cells, we used the E. coli BW25113 wild-type strain carrying pCA24N-rhodanese and the dnaKJ deletion strain. Each strain carrying pBAD30-ibpA 5' UTR-ibpA-gfp was grown to an OD660 of ~0.4 at 37 °C in LB medium. Cells were observed with an inverted microscope IX71 (Olympus) and a mercury lamp with a GFP filter. Fluorescent images were recorded with an iXon DV897 electron multiplying CCD camera (Andor) and the Andor SOLIS software (Andor).

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.
