For transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, the high-titer phage preparation underwent CsCl density gradient centrifugation. In this procedure, two mL of the phage preparation was meticulously layered onto a preformed CsCl gradient with specific densities of 1.3 g/mL, 1.4 g/mL, 1.5 g/mL, 1.6 g/mL, and 1.7 g/mL, each occupying 2 mL of the gradient. Ultracentrifugation was carried out using a Beckman Coulter L7-55 ultracentrifuge equipped with an SW 40 Ti rotor. The centrifugation process was conducted at a temperature of 18 °C, with a centrifugal force of 110,961.5 g for a duration of 1.5 h.
Following the density gradient centrifugation, five microliters of the phage suspension was loaded onto 400 mesh carbon-formvar-coated copper grids and negatively stained with 1% uranyl acetate. Phage particles were visualized using a JEM-100C transmission electron microscope (JEOL, Akishima, Japan) with an accelerating voltage of 80 kV. Images were taken on Kodak film SO-163 (Kodak, Cat. #74144, Hatfield, PA, USA) with 45,000× magnification. Phage particle dimensions were measured for 10 phage particles using ImageJ version 1.53e [56 (link)] in relation to the scale bar generated from the microscope.

A 3.5 μl sample of K44ADynGTP lipid tubes was placed on a plasma-cleaned (Fishione Inc.) Quantifoil holey carbon EM grid (SPI Supplies), blotted with filter paper, and flash-frozen in liquid ethane using a Leica EM GP (Leica Microsystems). The vitrified samples were imaged at liquid nitrogen temperature on a Polara FEG electron microscope (FEI) operating at 200 kV and recorded at 49,000X magnification. Images were recorded on Kodak SO163 film under low-dose conditions with defocus values ranging from −0.5 to 2 μm. Images were digitized using a NIKON supercool 9000 scanner at 80 ppm, 2.55 Å/pixel.

Fresh cultures of Acanthamoeba castellanii grown in 10 mL YPG (Yeast extract, peptone, glucose) were infected with 1-week-old 5-µm-filtered suspension of E. lausannensis or W. chondrophila (105 cells.mL−1), as previously reported57 (link). Samples of time-course infection experiments were harvested at 0, 7, 16, and 24 h post infection by centrifuging the infected A. castellanii cultures at 116 × g. Pellets were then fixed with 1 mL of 3% glutaraldehyde for  at 4 °C, followed by three washing steps with 100 mM PBS. Cells were further fixed with 1% osmium tetroxide in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Samples were dehydrated with subsequent increasing ethanol washes (50–100%). Samples were then transferred into propylene oxide and incubated overnight in an epoxy resin (Epon) mixed with 50% propylene oxide58 (link). Thin sections (70-nm thick) were cut with a diamond knife in a Leica UC6 microtome and poststained with periodic acid thiosemicarbazide silver proteinate. All specimens were observed with a Philips CM200 transmission electron microscope operating at 80 kV. Images were recorded on Kodak SO163 film.

Samples were visualized by negative staining in a transmission electron microscope. Aliquots were applied to 400 mesh grids (Maxtaform Cu/Rh HR26) coated with a thin (8 nm) carbon layer and glow-discharged for 20 s. Grids were stained (2 min) with 2% uranyl acetate and air-dried before visualization. Images were acquired using a JEM 1200 (JEOL) electron microscope operated at 100 kV and recorded on Kodak-electron SO-163 film. The diameter of oligomeric structures was measured using ImageJ. Images of CCT-α-syn A53T oligomers were acquired using a JEM 1010 (JEOL) microscope and recorded using a 4K×4K TemCam-F416 (TVIPS) digital camera. Single particles were selected manually and extracted from micrographs using the XMIPP software package64 (link).

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.
