Wild-type and recombinant novirhabdoviruses were mass produced in EPC cells, clarified by low-speed centrifugation (4,000 rpm for 15 min), concentrated 10 fold by ultracentrifugation at 24,000 rpm in a SW28 Beckman rotor for 90 minutes and finally purified by ultracentrifugation at 34,000 rpm in a SW41 Beckman rotor for 4 hours through a 25% (w/v) sucrose cushion in TEN buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl [pH = 7.5], 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA [pH = 8]). Influenza virus were mass produced in MDCK cells, inactivated by UV-illumination at 254 nm for 5 minutes (UVitec) and then purified by ultracentrifugation at 34,000 rpm in a SW41 Beckman rotor for 4 hours through a 25% (w/v) sucrose cushion. Virus pellets were resuspended in TEN buffer and the viral protein yield of each preparation was quantified by using the Micro BCA assay protein quantification Kit (Pierce) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS, scraped into 2 mL of 500 mM sodium carbonate (pH 11.0), transferred to a plastic tube, and homogenized with a Sonicator 250 apparatus (Branson Ultrasonic, Danbury, CT) using three 20-sec bursts. The homogenate was adjusted to 45% sucrose by the addition of 2 mL 90% sucrose prepared in 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (MES)-buffered solution consisting of 25 mM MES-buffer solution (pH 6.5) and 0.15 M NaCl and placed at the bottom of an ultracentrifuge tube. A 5–35% discontinuous sucrose gradient was formed (4 mL each of 5% and 35% sucrose, both in MES-buffer solution containing 250 mM sodium carbonate) and centrifuged at 40,000 × g for 20 h in a Beckman SW41 Rotor (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA).

Density gradients from 5 to 33 % sucrose in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.2 mM EGTA, 10 mM NaF and 1.34 mM β-mercaptoethanol were prepared in 14x89-mm centrifugation tubes (Beckman Coulter Inc., Brea, CA) using the Jule gradient former (Jule Inc., New Haven, CT) as previously described [11 (link), 16 (link)]. The gradients were stored overnight at 4°C before they were loaded with 100 μl of the soluble cell extracts (100,000 × g supernatant) or marker proteins and centrifuged for 24 h at 36,000 rpm in a Beckman SW41 rotor (Beckman Coulter Inc., Brea, CA). Fractions of ~220 μl were then collected starting from the bottom of the tube using a peristaltic pump and analyzed for PDE activity or protein concentration (molecular weight markers). The following proteins were used as molecular weight markers: bovine thyroglobulin (670 kDa; 19 S), bovine liver catalase (250 kDa; 11.3 S), rabbit aldolase (158 kDa; 7.3 S), bovine serum albumin (67 kDa; 4.6 S), and chicken ovalbumin (44 kDa; 3.5 S).

Sucrose gradient analysis was carried out as described previously with minor modifications [34 (link), 36 (link)]. Briefly, testicular tissues (~0.1 g)
were homogenized at 4°C in 1 ml of HK buffer (20 mM HEPES/KOH, pH 7.4, 0.1 M KCl) containing 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5% Triton X-100, 0.2 mg/ml cycloheximide, 1 μg/ml leupeptin, 1 μg/ml pepstatin, 0.5 mM PMSF, and 40
U/ml RNaseOUT (Thermo Fischer Scientific) and centrifuged at 13,400 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant solution (0.9 ml) was layered onto a 10–45% sucrose gradient (9.5 ml) prepared in HK buffer
containing 5 mM MgCl2 and centrifuged in a Beckman Optima LE-80K ultracentrifuge using a Beckman SW-41 rotor (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA, USA) at 281,000 × g at 4°C for 2 h. Fractions
(approximately 1 ml each) were manually collected from the top of the gradient and RNA levels in the fractions were measured by a UV spectrophotometer at 260 nm (Nanodrop, Thermo Fischer Scientific). Aliquots of each
fraction were analyzed by immunoblotting or by ethidium bromide staining of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) purified using an ISOGEN LS kit (Nippon Gene).

Briefly, metformin and control‐treated cells were grown to ~70% confluence. Cells were treated with 100 μg·mL−1 cycloheximide at 37 °C for 15 min prior to harvesting. Cells were lysed in lysis buffer (Pereboom et al., 2014), using homogenization on ice. Lysates were cleared by centrifugation at 1200 g for 10 min, and equal OD260 units were loaded onto a 17–50% sucrose gradient. Sucrose gradients were centrifuged for 2 h at 178 305 g in a Beckman SW41 rotor (Beckman Coulter, Indiana, USA) at 4 °C prior to fractionation. Fractionation was performed on an ISCO UV spectrophotometer and gradient fractionator (Teledyne ISCO, Nebraska, USA). Data were collected with labworks software (Lehi, UT, USA). Postcollection data analysis was performed in Microsoft Excel and graphpad prism 7 (La Jolla, CA, USA).

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.
