Coverslips were then washed 3x5 minutes with PBS and using Dako® fluorescent mounting media. For SR-SIM analysis of GFP-Tau transfected cells, thin (0.1 μm) z-stacks of high-resolution (1024x1024 pixels) image frames were collected by utilizing an alpha Plan-Apochromat 60x/1.4 oil immersion DIC M27 ELYRA objective on an ELYRA PS.1 system (Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Germany) equipped with a 488nm laser (100mW) in 5 rotations, 561nm laser (100mW) in 5 rotations and an Andor EM-CCD camera (iXon DU 885). Images were reconstructed using Zeiss Zen Black Software (2012) based on a structured illumination algorithm [22 ].

Briefly, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde; blocked and permeabilized with 3% bovine serum albumin (Sigma) with 0.1% Triton X-100; incubated with antibodies against microtubules (1:1000, acetylated α-tubulin, Santacruz Biotechnology) and peroxisomes (1:1000, PEX14 [16 (link), 17 (link)]); incubated with secondary antibodies (1:400, Alexa Fluor® 488 and Alexa Fluor® 594, ThermoFisher Scientific) for 30 min and stained with DAPI (1:1000; Life Technologies) to label nucleus. Microtubules were labelled to identify the total cell area.
Cells were visualized and imaged using a Leica SP5 confocal microscope (Leica, Germany) at high magnification of 60×. Resulting images were analysed for peroxisome density and size using image J image analysis software [18 (link)]. For peroxisome density, the total area of the cell and number of peroxisomes in a cell were measured. Peroxisome density was measured and reported as a ratio of number of peroxisomes to the total cell area. The analysis was performed on about 10 cells per cell line. Three controls and one PEX16 patient cell line were used for this analysis. Peroxisome size was also calculated using ImageJ on the same cells.

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.
