CLEM was performed for localization analysis as described previously (Knoops et al., 2015 (link)). 150-nm-thick cryo-sections were imaged with a widefield fluorescence microscope as described above. The corresponding fluorescence signals were visualized using the same filter sets as mentioned before. The grid was post-stained and embedded in a mixture containing 0.5% uranyl acetate and 0.5% methylcellulose. A CM12 transmission electron microscope under 100 kV was applied for the generation of double-tilt tomography series including a tilt range of 40° to −40° with 2.5° increments. To make CLEM images, FM and EM images were aligned using the eC-CLEM plugin (Paul-Gilloteaux et al., 2017 (link)) in Icy (
Immuno-EM was performed as described previously (Thomas et al., 2018 (link)). Labeling of HA was performed using monoclonal antibodies (Sigma-Aldrich, H9658) followed by goat-anti-mouse antibodies conjugated to 6 nm gold (Aurion).
