According to a previous method [46 (link)], collagenase perfusion and percoll layers of different density gradients (25% and 50%) (GE Healthcare, MA, USA) were used to isolate LSECs. After harvested, they were seeded on 12 mm coverslips (Electron Microscopy Sciences, PA, USA) coated with type I collagen (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) at a density of 2.5×105 cells/cm2. The purity of the cultured LSECs was > 90%, as determined by immunofluorescence assays with anti-von Willebrand factor (vWF) (11778-1-AP, Proteintech) and anti-endothelial cell antigen-1 (RECA-1) antibodies (ab9774, Abcam, UK) (Supplementary Figure 2).

Infection of Cells with A. phagocytophilum

Neutrophils and HL-60 cells were infected with A. phagocytophilum DC organisms released from infected HL-60 cells by sonication as previously described (Troese and Carlyon, 2009 (link)). RF/6A or HEK-293T cells were infected with A. phagocytophilum DC bacteria that had been naturally released from infected RF/6A cells into the culture media as follows. Adherent host cells to be infected were seeded onto 12 mm coverslips (Electron Microscopy Sciences) and overlain with 200 µl of A. phagocytophilum-laden media from heavily infected RF/6A cells. The supernatant was spun down on top of the cells at 1000 × g for 3 min followed by a 1 h incubation at 37°C with 5% CO2. The cells were washed with 1× PBS to remove unbound bacteria, and fresh media was added. The cells were returned to 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 or 48 h or specific time points, after which the cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and examined by immunofluorescence microscopy.

Hippocampal cultures were made using previously established methods (31 ). Briefly, brains from P0-P1 C57Bl/6J pups (The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were isolated, and the hippocampus was dissected in ice-cold HBSS solution (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) supplemented with 20% FBS and NaHCO3 (4.2mM), HEPES (1mM; Sigma), pH 7.4. Dissected hippocampi were digested for 10 min with 0.25% Trypsin (Thermo Fisher Scientific), then washed and dissociated using fire polished Pasteur pipettes of decreasing diameter in ice cold HBSS containing DNase (1500 U; Sigma). The cells were pelleted, resuspended in plating media and plated at a density of 4–5×105 cells/12-mm coverslip (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA) coated with poly-Ornithine (0.1mg/ml; Sigma; Cat. #4638) and laminin (5μg/ml; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cells were allowed to adhere for 15 min before addition of 0.5ml of plating media containing Neurobasal supplemented with 1X B27, 2mM Glutamax, 0.5mg/ml Pen/Strep and 5% FBS (all from Thermo Fisher Scientific) for the first 24 h. Half of the media was removed and replaced with serum-free media after 24 h. Half of the media was removed and replaced after 48 h supplemented with 4μM cytosine 1-β-d-arabinofuranoside (Ara-C; Sigma). Neurons were fed by replacing half the volume of spent media with fresh media without serum or Ara-C every week thereafter.

Hippocampal cultures were made using previously established methods (Chander et al., 2019) . Briefly, brains from P0-P1 C57Bl/6J pups (The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were isolated, and the hippocampus was dissected in ice-cold HBSS solution (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) supplemented with 20% FBS and NaHCO3 (4.2mM), HEPES (1mM; Sigma), pH 7.4.

Half of the media was removed and replaced after 48h supplemented and with 4µM cytosine 1-β-d-arabinofuranoside (Ara-C; Sigma). Neurons were fed by replacing half the volume of spent media with fresh media without serum or Ara-C every week thereafter.

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.
