To infect Calu-3 cells for immunofluorescence assays, the cells were treated with DMSO or 53 μM SRPIN340 for 12 hours before infection. To infect Calu-3 cells, the medium was removed, and the cells were washed with 0.5 ml of PBS. Virus was added at an MOI of 2.5 and the cells were infected at 37°C for 1 hour. After infection, 200 μl of medium and 2x SRPIN340 or DMSO was added to cells and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. To fix the cells, the culture plate was submerged in 10% NBF for 2 hours. The NBF was removed, and the cells were placed in PBS. For immunostaining, cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 and blocked in PBS, 5% BSA, and 0.1% Tween-20. Cells were stained with either an anti-dsRNA antibody (J2, Sigma MABE1134) at a 1:125 dilution or an anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD protein antibody (ProSci #9087) at a 1:150 dilution. Alexa Fluor 488– or Alex Fluor 594–conjugated secondary antibodies were used at a 1:1000 dilution. DNA was stained with Hoechst 33342 dye at a 1:10,000 dilution in PBS. Images were captured with a Bio-Rad Zoe fluorescent cell imager.

Cells were seeded on 18mm coverslips a day before infection. After the infection, coverslips were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20min at RT followed by three PBS(1X) washes. The samples were then blocked with a blocking buffer (3% FCS/PBS (1X)) for 1h at RT while on a shaker. Then the primary antibodies were added to each sample and incubated overnight at 4C. The primary antibodies used included: anti-VP3 (MA5-18206, Thermo Fisher), anti-dsRNA (MABE1134, Sigma-Aldrich) at 1:200 dilution. The following day, the coverslips were washed three times with PBS(1X) for 5min each and the secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488 or Alexa Fluor 594) were added for 1h at RT. Before mounting on microscope slides, cells were additionally washed with PBS(1X). ProLong Glass Antifade Mountant (P36985, Thermo Fisher) with NucBlue was used and the coverslips were allowed to dry overnight before storing at 4C. Images were acquired either using the Echo Revolve microscope or W2 Olympus confocal microscope and analyzed with Fiji software.

Paraffin blocks from lungs and brain (ChP, cerebral cortex, globus pallidus, lateral ventricle, medulla oblongata, midbrain, pons, and putamen) were selected to produce a tissue microarray, as adapted from Pires et al. [17] (link). Four-µm sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated, subjected to antigen retrieval using 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 30 min at 98°C, and were then blocked/permeabilized (3% bovine serum albumin/0.3% Triton X-100) for 1 h. Overnight incubation at 4°C was performed with anti-SARS-CoV-2 SP monoclonal antibody (Genetex, Cat GTX632604, 1:500); convalescent serum (CS, 1:1000) or anti-dsRNA (J2) (Merck-Millipore Cat MABE1134, 1:200).

Cells were fixed using 4% PFA-PBS for 1h and subsequently washed with PBS. A blocking step was carried out for 1h at room temperature with 10% goat serum/1%BSA in PBS. Nucleocapsid (N) protein detection was performed by primary incubation with human anti-N antibody (Cr3009, 1ug/ml) for 18h, and washed thoroughly in PBS. Where appropriate, N-protein staining was followed by incubation with mouse anti-IRF3 (sc-33641, Santa Cruz) for 1 h. dsRNA was detected by primary incubation with mouse anti-dsRNA (MABE1134, Millipore) for 18h. Primary antibodies were detected by labelling with secondary anti-human AlexaFluor-568 and anti-mouse AlexaFluor 488 conjugates (Jackson Immuno Research) for 1h. All cells were then labelled with either HCS CellMask DeepRed (H32721, Thermo Fisher) or Phalloidin-AlexaFluor 568 (Thermo Fisher) and Hoechst33342 (H3570, Thermo Fisher). Images were acquired using the WiScan® Hermes High-Content Imaging System (IDEA Bio-Medical, Rehovot, Israel) at magnification 10X/0.4NA or 40X/0.75NA. Four channel automated acquisition was carried out sequentially (DAPI/TRITC, GFP/Cy5). For nuclear translocation assay images were acquired at 40X magnification, 35% density/ 30% well area resulting in 102 FOV/well. For dsRNA quantification, images were acquired at 10X magnification, 100% density/ 80% well area resulting in 47 FOV/well.

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.
