According to the manufacturer’s calcium colorimetric assay kit (# S1063S, Beyotime Biotechnology, China) operating manual, we determined the calcium ion content of the VZV-infected ARPE-19 and SH-SY5Y cell lysate and culture supernatant. After VZV infects ARPE-19 and SH-SY5Y cells, the cell culture medium is collected and rinsed with pre-cooled 1 × PBS two to three times. Add 200 μl of pre-cooled sample lysate to each sample to make the sample lysate fully contact the cells. After the cells are fully lysed, collect the cell lysate at 4°C, centrifuge at 12,000 × g for 5 min, and aspirate the supernatant. The standard curve of calcium ion content was obtained by calcium standard solution and chromogenic solution, and the absorbance value of each sample was quantified as the corresponding calcium ion concentration.

The shrimp were maintained in normal seawater or transferred to seawater containing 5 mg/L TAN. After transfer, the cell-permeating calcium chelator BAPTA-AM (Selleck; S7534) was injected into the shrimp hemocoel. The calcium content of shrimp gills was determined 30 min later. For the fluorescence probe assay, gills were collected and incubated with 3 µM of the calcium fluorescence probe, Fluo-3AM (Solarbio; F8840) for 30 min at 37°C. After washing with HEPES-buffered saline, gills were placed on slides containing glycerol. The slides were observed and imaged using an LSM 900 confocal microscope (Zeiss).

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.
