A three-fold molar excess of Fab was incubated with SARS-2 CoV 6P Mut7 for 30 minutes at room temperature and deposited on a glow discharged carbon coated Cu grid. The complexes were stained with 2% uranyl formate (w/v) for 90 seconds. An FEI Tecnai Spirit at 120 keV paired with an FEI Eagle 4k x 4k CCD camera was used for data collection, and automated using the Leginon software [44 (link)]. Raw micrographs were stored in the Appion database [45 (link)]. Particles were picked with DogPicker [46 (link)] and data was processed in RELION 3.0 [47 (link)]. Figs were generated using UCSF Chimera [48 (link)].

The bispecific antibodies were incubated with SARS-2 CoV 6P Mut7 at equal molar ratios for 30 minutes at room temperature. The complexes were diluted to 0.03 mg/ml in 1X TBS pH 7.4 and applied to plasma-cleaned (Argon/Oxygen mix) copper mesh grids. Uranyl formate at 2% was applied to the grid for 55 seconds and then blotted off. Datasets were collected with a FEI Tecnai Spirit (120KeV, 56,000x magnification) paired with a FEI Eagle (4k x 4k) CCD camera. Data collection details include a defocus value −1.5 μm, a pixel size of 2.06 Å per pixel, and a dose of 25 e2. Data collection automation was achieved with the Leginon (69 (link)) software and resulting images were stored in the Appion (70 (link)) database. Complexed single particles were picked using DogPicker (71 (link)) and stacked with a box size of 300 pixels. RELION 3.0 (72 (link)) was used for 2D and 3D classifications and final refinements.

Purified complexes were diluted to 0.03 mg/ml using 1X TBS pH 7.4, deposited on glow-discharged carbon coated copper mesh grids, and stained for 90 sec with 2% uranyl formate (w/v). Samples were imaged either on a FEI Tecnai Spirit T12 transmission electron microscope (120 keV, 52,000x mag, 2.06 Å per pixel, -1.5 μm defocus) equipped with an FEI Eagle 4k x 4k CCD camera or a FEI TF20 transmission electron microscope (200 keV, 62,000x mag, 1.78 Å per pixel, -1.5 μm defocus) equipped with a TVIPS TemCam F416 CMOS 4k x 4k camera. Collection of raw micrographs was automated with the Leginon (Suloway et al., 2005 (link)) software and stored in the Appion (Lander et al., 2009 (link)) database. For each mouse group complex, enough micrographs were collected to have ≥ 100k particles for data processing. Particles were picked using DogPicker (Voss et al., 2009 (link)), and further data processing was performed in RELION 3.0 (Scheres, 2012 (link)). For EMPEM with SARS-CoV-2 spike, an initial model was generated from a published SARS-CoV-2 S protein structure (PDB: 6VYB (Walls et al., 2020 (link))) and used during data processing. Map interpretation and segmentation was performed in UCSF Chimera (Pettersen et al., 2004 (link)).

Negative Stain Electron Microscopy

EM experiments were performed [29 ] using an FEI Tecnai T12 electron microscope, operating at 120 keV equipped with an FEI Eagle 4k x 4k CCD camera. Negative stain grids were transferred into the electron microscope using a room temperature stage. Images of each grid were acquired at multiple scales to assess the overall distribution of the specimen. After identifying potentially suitable target areas for imaging at lower magnifications, high magnification images were acquired at nominal magnifications of 110,000X (0.10 nm/pixel) or 67,000X (0.16 nm/pixel). The images were acquired at a nominal underfocus of -2 μm (110,000X) or -3 μm to -2 μm (67,000X), and electron doses of ~25–40 e/Å2.

The Cryo-TEM was conducted following our previously described protocol35 (link). Briefly, a 3 µL sample of NP in PBS was dispensed onto a glow discharged copper grid (300 mesh) with lacey carbon film coating (ProSciTech, QLD, Australia). The grid was blotted against filter paper (Whatman 541) and plunged into liquid ethane using an in-house plunge freezing device in 80% humidity. The samples were presented to the transmission electron microscope TEM (FEI, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) operated at 120 kV using a Gatan 626 cryo-holder (Gatan, Pleasanton, CA, USA). A low electron dose of 8–10 electrons/Å2 was employed. Images were captured using a FEI Eagle 4kx4k CCD camera (FEI) and AnalySIS software v3.2 (Olympus.).

10-μl drops of purified samples were adsorbed onto freshly glow-discharged 400 mesh carbon-coated copper grids (Electron Microscopy Sciences) for 1 minute and washed in 1–3 drops of (50 μl) 0.1 M and 0.01 M ammonium acetate solutions each. Then, the grids were stained using a freshly filtered 2% solution of uranyl acetate and air-dried after removing the excess stain with filter paper. The stained samples were examined with a Tecnai G20 transmission electron microscope (FEI Company) operating at an acceleration voltage of 200 kV. Electron micrographs were recorded with an Eagle 4k x 4k CCD camera (FEI Company). Defocus levels of 1–2 μm were applied for recording the images. Micrographs acquired for image processing purposes, were recorded at a nominal magnification of 29,000x with a pixel size of 3.07 Å per pixel.

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.
