Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Potorous
tridactylus epithelial kidney (Ptk2) cells were cultured in DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich,
UK) supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% l-glutamine (Sigma-Aldrich).
For microscopy experiments,
the cells were seeded onto 25 mm glass coverslips and allowed to grow
to a confluence of about 75%. For sFCS experiments, the cells were
labeled with Atto647N-DPPE or Atto647N-sphingomyelin (AttoTec, Germany)
by incubating the cells at a lipid analogue concentration of 0.4 μg/μL
in L15 (Sigma-Aldrich) at room temperature for 15 min. After cells
were washed twice with L15, the experiments were performed at 37 °C.
The diffusion of the lipid analogues in the cellular membrane was
measured in the periphery of the cell at its bottom membrane.
Transfections of Ptk2 cells with GPI-anchored green fluorescent
protein were performed using Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher) according
to the manufacturer’s protocol. The GPI-GFP plasmid was obtained
from Kai Simons’ Lab (Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell
Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany).

Preparation of Bacterial Lipid Stocks

To prepare the lipid stock solution, E. coli polar lipid extract (Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc.) was dissolved in water and sonicated for 30 min to make a 30-mg/mL aqueous suspension stock. The lipid stock solution was flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C. To prepare a 2 mg/mL aqueous suspension stock of lipopolysaccharide, LPS from E. coli EH100 (Ra mutant; Sigma) was dissolved in water and sonicated for 30 min. The lipopolysaccharide stock solution was flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored in aliquots at −80°C.
To prepare the fluorescent lipid stock solutions for flow cytometry, E. coli polar lipid extract (Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc.) was dissolved in chloroform with 1% (molar ratio) ATTO-488 DPPE, ATTO-565 DPPE, or ATTO-647N DPPE (ATTO-TEC GmbH). Lipid mixtures were then dried into a film, hydrated, and lyophilized overnight. The lipid mixtures were then dissolved in water and sonicated for 30 min to make a 30-mg/mL aqueous suspension stock. The lipid stock solution was flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°C.

Jurkat T-cell Labeling and Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Jurkat T-cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 (Sigma Aldrich, UK) media supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma Aldrich), 2 mM l-Glutamine (Sigma Aldrich), 100 U/mL Penicillin (Sigma Aldrich), 0.1 mg/mL Streptomycin (Sigma Aldrich) and 10 mM HEPES pH 7.4 (Sigma Aldrich). 1 million cells were spun down for 5 min at 2000 rpm and washed with 1 mL of L15 medium (Life Technologies). After spinning down again the cells were labelled by resuspending in L15 medium containing 0.4 μg/mL Atto647N-DPPE (AttoTec). The cells were labelled at 37 °C shaking at 300 rpm for 15 min. After washing with L15, the cells were resuspended and kept in L15 for not longer than 1 h on room temperature. Measurements were performed in 8-well glass-bottom chambers (Ibidi). Prior to the measurements the glass was coated with PLL using a 0.01% PLL-solution (Poly-l-Lysine) (Sigma Aldrich) for 1 h at room temperature and washed three times with L15.

Phase Separation in GPMVs Imaged

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For experiments with phase-separated GPMVs, the membranes were labelled with a fluorescent lipid analogue Atto647N-DPPE (AttoTec) by incubating the GPMV solution with the dye at up to 0.02 g/ml for 5-10 min, followed by a 20-min incubation with up to mM deoxycholic acid (DCA) to facilitate large-scale phase separation (46) . A drop of the GPMV suspension was then transferred into the chamber created with Vaseline between two coverslips (22  50 mm, thickness no. 1.5; by Menzel), which was adhered to a Peltier cooling device set to 4 °C mounted on the microscope stage (35) .
The observations were conducted using an inverted laser-scanning confocal microscope Zeiss LSM780 equipped with a 40x/1.1 water-immersion objective. Green and far-red fluorescence was excited with lasers at 488 nm and 633 nm and collected in two channels within the spectral windows of 500-590 nm and 640-700 nm. For each vesicle, a z-stack of images across the entire vesicle was collected with spacing between slices of 0.56 m and sampling of around 0.1 m/pixel. Acquisition of each slice took 2-6 seconds, which was fast enough that the locations of protein aggregates were not smeared by their diffusion.

Lipids 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), cholesterol (Chol), egg sphingomyelin (SM), and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[biotinyl(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG-biotin) were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL, USA). The fluorescent lipid analogues Atto647N-DPPE and C-Laurdan were purchased from Atto-Tec GmbH (Siegen, Germany) and 2pprobes (Seoul, Korea), respectively. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and biotinylated BSA were obtained from Sigma Aldrich (Gillingham, UK), whereas streptavidin was provided by ThermoFisher (Waltham, MA, USA).

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.
