Immunofluorescence analysis was performed as described previously (Carroll et al, 2018 (link)). In brief, cells seeded on coverslips in 24‐well plates were fixed in 3.7% formaldehyde in PBS for 7 min at room temperature and permeabilised in methanol for 4 min at −20°C. Cells were then blocked for 1 h in 5% normal goat serum (Sigma‐Aldrich) in PBS at room temperature and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Cells were washed three times and incubated with the appropriate secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature (Thermo Fisher Scientific, A31556 and A21235, 1:1,000). Cells were washed, and coverslips were mounted on slides with fluoroshield mounting medium (Abcam). Fluorescence images were obtained described as above. The number of puncta colocalised with NDP52 or with YFP‐Parkin per cell was quantified. The following primary antibodies were used: mouse α‐Flag (Sigma‐Aldrich, F3165, 1:1,000, for NDP52 staining), rabbit α‐LC3 (CST, 3868S, 1:250), rabbit α‐Atg13 (CST, 13468S, 1:100) and rabbit α‐Atg16L (CST, 8089S, 1:100).

Microphotographs were obtained in three different regions at the three different bandpass filters (345–445, 470–525, and 550–605) for both LV and IVS at a magnification of 63×. Myocyte count, cross-sectional area, extracellular matrix content (ECM), capillary, and fibroblast count were assessed with morphological measurements with ImageJ [13 (link)].

Hela cells were transfected with pCAG-CaMAPRI2 and a vector expressing the ATP-gated Ca2+ channel P2X using the manufacturer’s protocols (Lipofectamine 2000, Invitrogen). After 24 h, cells were washed with Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution, and ATP was administered to a final concentration of 100 μM immediately followed by PC of one field of view (20 s of 400-nm light at 3 mW cm−2) on a Nikon Ti Eclipse wide-field microscope equipped with an LED illuminator (SPECTRA-X, Lumencor), a ×20 objective and an sCMOS camera (Zyla, Andor). The cells were then fixed using formaldehyde (4% in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 10 mM EGTA, 10 min) and immunostained using standard protocols with anti-CaMPARI-red (1:10,000) and rabbit anti-FLAG (1:3000, F7425, Sigma-Aldrich) as primary and goat-anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 405 (1:1000; A31556, Invitrogen) and goat-anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 647 (1:1000, A21236, Invitrogen) as secondary antibodies. Cells were then imaged on the same microscope using the 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, fluorescein isothiocyanate, tetramethylrhodamine, and Cy5 imaging channel.

150,000 BMDMs per well were seeded in an 8-well μ-slide and stimulated with 10 ng/mL (~100 U/mL) recombinant mouse IFNγ for 24 h prior to infection. The BMDMs were infected with parasite strains at an MOI of 0.3 for 3 h, then washed and fixed with 4% w/v formaldehyde for 15 min. Prior to permeabilisation, the cells were blocked with 2% w/v BSA for 1 h and extracellular parasites were stained with 1:1000 rabbit anti-T. gondii (Abcam #ab138698) for 1 h at room temperature followed by 1:1000 goat anti-rabbit 405 (Invitrogen #A31556) for 1 h at room temperature. The cells were then permeabilsed with 0.2% v/v Triton X-100 for 15 minutes, blocked again with 2% w/v BSA for 1 h, stained with 1:200 mouse anti-ubiquitinylated proteins (Sigma #04–263) overnight at 4°C, and finally stained with 1:1000 goat anti-mouse 488 (Invitrogen #A11029) for 1 h at room temperature. Nine tiled fields of view were captured for each well on a Nikon Ti-E inverted widefield fluorescence microscope as above. The images were blinded, and the percentage of ubiquitinated vacuoles was determined manually using ImageJ, excluding T. gondii cells which were positive for extracellular staining. A median of 290 vacuoles were analysed per strain per replicate. Differences between strains were determined by two-sided t-test with Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment.

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.
