Mtb [DsRed-expressing H37Rv (24 (link))] was cultured in Difco Middlebrook 7H9 broth (Becton Dickinson, Breda, The Netherlands) supplemented with 10% ADC (Becton Dickinson) and 0.05% Tween 80 (Sigma-Aldrich). One day before infection, Mtb cultures were diluted to a density corresponding with early log-phase growth (OD600 of 0.25). The following day, bacterial suspensions (or 7H9 for mock infections) were diluted in cell culture medium without antibiotics to reach a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10. MOI of the inoculum was verified by a standard colony-forming unit (CFU) assay. Cells seeded in 96-well flat-bottom plates at a density of 30,000 cells/well in appropriate cell culture medium without antibiotics 1 day prior to infection, were inoculated with 100 μl of the bacterial suspension, centrifuged for 3 min at 800 rpm, and incubated at 37°C/5% CO2 for 60 min. Bacteria were then washed away with cell culture medium containing 30 μg/ml gentamicin sulfate (Lonza BioWhittaker, Basel, Switzerland), incubated for 10 min at 37°C/5% CO2, followed by replacement with medium containing 5 μg/ml gentamicin sulfate and, if indicated, chemical compounds until readout by flow cytometry, Luminex, or CFU.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One day before infection, mycobacterial cultures were diluted to a density corresponding with early log-phase growth (optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of 0.4). Stm was grown either in LB broth or on LB agar with appropriate antibiotics. After overnight incubation, Stm liquid cultures were diluted 1:33 and cultured for an additional 3–4 h, while plate-grown Stm was suspended in PBS by rinsing the agar plates. Bacterial density was determined by measuring the OD600 and the bacterial suspension was diluted in cell culture medium without antibiotics to reach a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 (unless indicated otherwise). Accuracy of bacterial density measurements was verified by a standard colony-forming unit (CFU) assay. Cell cultures (HeLa for Stm infections and MelJuSo for Mtb infections), seeded in 96-well flat-bottom plates as described below, were inoculated with 100 μl of the bacterial suspension, centrifuged for 3 min at 800 rpm, and incubated at 37 °C/5% CO2 for 20 min if infected with Stm or 60 min if infected with Mtb. The plates were then washed with culture medium containing 30 μg/ml gentamicin sulfate (Lonza BioWhittaker, Basel, Switzerland) and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in a medium containing 5 μg/ml gentamicin and the indicated chemical compounds until readout by flow cytometry or CFU, as indicated.

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.
