P. falciparum CS2 parasites were maintained in continuous culture according to routine methods27 (link). Parasites were cultured at 4% hematocrit in O+ RBCs. Cultures were maintained in 25 cm2 or 75 cm2 tissue culture flasks at 37°C under a gas mixture of 90% nitrogen/5% oxygen/5% carbon dioxide and in complete culture medium made up of RPMI containing 25 mM HEPES, 0.05 mg/mL hypoxanthine, 2.2 mg/mL NaHCO3 (J.T. Baker), 0.5% Albumax I (Gibco), 2 g/L glucose, and 0.01 mg/mL gentamicin. Primarily ring-stage cultures were treated routinely with 5% D-Sorbitol to achieve synchronous cultures.
Culture health and stage of parasites were assessed daily and at each time point. Thin film blood smears were fixed with methanol, and stained with Giemsa for analysis by light microscopy. Images were acquired using a Nikon Eclipse E400 microscope fitted with a Nikon Digital Sight DS-5M-L1 camera (Nikon Instruments Inc.).

Antimalarial Drug STAD-2 Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ring-stage or late-stage iRBC at <0.5% parasitemia were brought up to 4% hematocrit in complete culture medium and transferred to a 24-well tissue culture plate in 1 mL aliquots. iRBCs were then treated with 1 μM STAD-2, 1 μM scrambled STAD-2, or 0.001% DMSO (vehicle control). 25 μL were removed from each well every 24 hours post-treatment, and samples were stained with Hoechst 33342 and analyzed by flow cytometry. Blood smears were made every 24 hours, fixed with methanol, and stained with Giemsa for analysis by light microscopy. Images were acquired using a Nikon Eclipse E400 microscope fitted with a Nikon Digital Sight DS-5M-L1 camera (Nikon Instruments Inc.).

Immunofluorescent Analysis of Macrophages and Apoptosis in Kidney

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Kidney sections were immunolabeled with primary abs against macrophages, using the anti-Iba1 (cat#NCNP24, Fujifilm Wako, Pure Chemical Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and anti-cleaved casp-3 (cat#9664, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) diluted 1:400 in Super Block (cat#AAA125, ScyTek Laboratories, Logan, UT, USA). The slides were incubated with fluorescent secondary Goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488; cat#ab150077, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) diluted 1:400 in blocking solution. The slides were washed and mounted with DAPI-containing mounting medium, covered with glass coverslips, and imaged on a Sight DS-5M-L1 digital camera (Nikon, Melville, NY, USA) connected to an Eclipse 50i light microscope (Nikon) at different magnifications. The images acquired were used for quantifications of Iba1+ cells and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) for cleaved casp-3 in renal tubular cells, using Image J software (NIH).

Histological Analysis of ZIKV-Induced Skeletal Muscle Pathology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Skeletal muscle samples from mouse hind legs were collected bilaterally at birth or 6 dpi, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and embedded in paraffin after dehydration. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections of 3 to 5 μm were prepared and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or used for immunohistochemistry. H&E images were obtained by using optical microscopy at a magnification of 10× (Olympus BX40), and images were acquired using Leica Application Suite 3.8 software. For scoring, mock-infected or ZIKV-infected skeletal muscle tissues stained with H&E from at least five different animals were classified for the presence of necrosis, cellular infiltrate, and fiber atrophy by a researcher blind to the experimental condition, according to the following criteria: 0, absence; 1, some indicative; 2, moderate; 3, intense; and 4, very intense.
For immunohistochemistry of ZIKV dsRNA, sections of skeletal muscle were stained as previously described (8 (link)) with primary mouse anti-dsRNA antibodies (SCICONS J2) at a 1:200 dilution. Stained tissue sections were analyzed under identical conditions to allow comparison between immunoreactivity ODs. Slides were imaged on a Sight DS-5M-L1 digital camera (Nikon, Melville, NY) connected to an Eclipse 50i light microscope (Nikon).

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.
