The expression of TIM-1, Axl, and MXRA8 was analyzed by staining cells with anti-TIM-1, anti-Axl (R&D Systems, Minnneapolis, MN, USA), and anti-MXRA8 (JSR life sciences, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) monoclonal antibodies without prior fixation. The primary staining with unconjugated antibody was followed by secondary staining with either Alexa 488- or 647-conjugated anti-mouse/goat IgG antibody (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA, USA). The respective IgG isotype was used as control. The expression of TIM-1 and Axl was analyzed by APC-conjugated monoclonal anti-TIM-1 (BioLegend®) and anti-Axl (R&D Systems, Minnneapolis, MN, USA) antibodies respectively. Appropriate APC-conjugated isotype control antibodies from BioLegend® and R&D Biosystems were used. All flow cytometry analyses in this study were performed using Sony Spectral Cell Analyzer (Sony Biotechnology, San Jose, CA, USA) and data analyzed by FlowJo V10 Software.

Immunoblotting was performed as described previously [30 (link)]. The primary antibodies were used at a dilution of 1:1000 if not indicated otherwise: anti-phospho-Axl (#5724), anti-phospho-Erk1/2 (#9101), anti-Erk1/2 (#4695), anti-phospho-Src (#6943) and anti-Src (#2109) were purchased from Cell Signaling (Danvers, MA, USA). Anti-Axl (#AF154) and anti-PRAME (#ab219650) were obtained from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA) and Abcam (Cambridge, England, UK), respectively. Anti-actin (#A2206, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) was applied at 1:5000 as a loading control. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Vector Laboratories, Newark, CA, USA) were diluted 1:10.000. Abundance of proteins was quantified via densitometry using ImageJ software (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/). Peak areas were quantified and normalized to the actin loading control. For the control versus the treatment experiments, the abundance of proteins upon interference was set relative to the control.

For western blotting, corpus callosum tissue of mice was quickly resected on ice and ultrasonically homogenised in RIPA buffer supplemented with 1 mM PMSF and protease inhibitor cocktail. Equal amounts of protein samples (∼20 μg) from each group were loaded in SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. Membranes were incubated with the following primary antibodies: antimyelin basic protein (MBP) (1 : 400, Merck Millipore), anti-MerTK (1 : 1000, R&D Systems), anti-Axl (1 : 1000, R&D Systems), anti-Tyro3 (1 : 1000, R&D Systems), anti-Gas6 (1 : 1000, R&D Systems), and anti-β-actin (1 : 10000, ProteinTech). Protein expression was detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection system (Tanon) via incubation with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies. Images were obtained using an ImageQuant LAS4000 mini image analyser (GE Healthcare).

Cells were washed twice in ice-cold PBS and lysed in lysis buffer (50 mM HEPES [pH 7.5], 150 mM NaCl, 1% glycerol, 1% Triton X-100, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM EGTA, 1 mM Na3VO4, and 1× protease inhibitor cocktail).
Protein concentration was determined by the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Segrate, MI, Italy) using BSA as the standard, considering that 5 μg of BSA shows a value of absorbance of 0.333 at a wavelength of 595 nm. Equal amounts of protein were denatured in sample buffer (10% SDS, 87% glycerol, 5% β-mercaptoethanol and 0.1% bromophenol blue) for 5 min at 100°C, and then analyzed by SDS-PAGE (10% acrylamide).
Gels were electroblotted onto nitrocellulose membranes (G&E Healthcare, Milan, MI, Italy) and, after the transfer, membranes were blocked for 1 hr with a solution of 5% non-fat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) containing 0.1% Tween 20.
Filters were probed with the primary antibodies with shaking overnight at 4°C. Detection was performed by peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies using the enhanced chemiluminescence system (Thermo Fisher, Life Technologies, Monza, MB, Italy). Primary antibodies used were anti-AXL (R&D Systems, Milan, MI, Italy) and anti-β-actin (Sigma Aldrich, Milan, MI, Italy).

Cell lysates were extracted in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher). The protein concentrations were determined by a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay (Thermo Fisher), and the proteins were subjected to 4 to 12% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane. The membrane was blocked with 5% nonfat dried skim milk and incubated with the specific antibodies anti-ACE2 (catalog number AF933; R&D) (1:1,000), anti-NRP1 (catalog number MA5-32179; Thermo Fisher) (1:1,000), and anti-AXL (catalog number AF154; R&D) (1:1,000). Protein bands were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence image analyzer. β-Actin (catalog number A5316; Millipore-Sigma) (1:5,000) was used as an internal control to assess the comparability of protein loading.

Mice were anaesthetised with an intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium and perfused with cold saline solution followed by 4% formaldehyde. Their brains were dissected and then immersed in 4% formaldehyde for fixation followed by dehydration with sucrose solution. The coronal brain sections used for histological analysis were derived mostly from the caudal callosum, beginning at approximately −0.5 mm from bregma. The brain sections (25 μm) were first washed three times with PBS and then blocked with 4% goat serum in 0.3% Triton X-100 for 1 h at room temperature. Subsequently, they were incubated overnight at 4°C with the anti-MBP (1 : 400, Merck Millipore), anti-Iba1 (1 : 400, Wako, Japan), anti-MerTK (1 : 100, R&D Systems), or anti-Axl (1 : 100, R&D Systems) primary antibodies. Samples were then stained with Alexa Fluor 488 or 594 secondary antibodies (1 : 1000, Invitrogen) at room temperature for 2 h before rinsing with PBS. Sections were mounted with fluorescence decay resistant medium (with DAPI) before they were covered with a cover slip. Images were captured using a confocal microscope (Olympus FluoView FV1000).

ZIKV containing Nano luciferase gene (ZIKV-Nluc), generated using strategy previously reported (45 (link)), was used to evaluate ZIKV entry into SC after Axl receptor blockade. SC, seeded in 96-well solid white microplates, were preincubated with 10 μg/ml anti-Axl (catalog no. AF154; R&D Systems), 1 μM R428, or respective goat IgG (50 μg/ml) (catalog no. AB-108-C; R&D Systems) or DMSO vehicle (1:10,000 dilution) controls for 2 h at 37°C prior to infection. SC were then infected with ZIKV-Nluc at different MOIs for 1 h in the presence of antibody or drug, washed twice with PBS, and replaced with fresh media and drug. At 4 and 24 h postinfection, the cells were washed twice with PBS, and luciferase activity (luminescence) was determined using Nano-Glo luciferase assay system (catalog no. N1150; Promega). Luciferase activity is reported as percent relative luminescence of matched time point controls.

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.
