Cultures inoculated from single colonies (2 ml; strains IE01 and IE02) were grown overnight in LB medium with and without salicylate (5 mM) at 37 °C and 170 rpm (to have uninduced and pre-induced cultures). Cultures were subsequently diluted 1:200 in M9 minimal medium with different concentrations of salicylate, and were grown for 4 h at the same conditions. Cultures were then transferred to Eppendorf tubes (1 ml). The fluorescence distribution of each sample was obtained with a flow cytometer MACSQuant VYB (Miltenyi Biotec) measuring yellow fluorescence (488 nm, 525 nm). Using delimited forward and side scatter ranges with the commercial software installed in the machine gated events. To calculate the normalized fluorescence, the background value was subtracted, and the resulting values were rescaled according to the mathematical model. The medians and standard deviations of the distributions were computed.

For production of viral stocks, rHAZV-eGFP virus^{24 (link)} was amplified in Huh-7.5 cells (MOI = 0.001). 1 h post-infection, media was changed after a PBS wash and 72 h post-infection, supernatant was harvested and clarified by centrifugation 5 min at 750 x g. Preparations of rHAZV-eGFP (termed HAZV in the text and figures) with titers of 10⁶ eGFP infection units (i.u.)/ml were used in this study.
For infection assays, Huh-7.5 cells were inoculated with serial dilutions of viral supernatant, corresponding to MOIs of 0.5 to 0.001, before PBS wash and medium change, 1 h post-infection. Level of infection was detected 16 h post-infection by quantification of eGFP positive cells by flow cytometry (MACSQuant® VYB Flow Cytometer; Miltenyi Biotec). Data were analyzed with FlowJo software (BD Biosciences). The viral titer was determined after selection of dilutions allowing a linear range of percentage of positive cells.

Electrocompetent XL1-blue E. coli cells were cotransfected with the Arabinose trigger plasmid^{17 (link)} and MDAR memory plasmid or standard memory plasmid,^{17 (link)} respectively. Cell culture experiments were
carried out at 28 °C basically as described in Ullrich et al.^{30 (link)} Single colonies were used for the inoculation
of overnight cultures in LB medium supplemented with 25 μg/mL
kanamycin, 100 μg/mL ampicillin, 300 μM ZnSO₄, and 0.2% glucose to generate a stable OFF-culture. After 24 h,
the ZnSO₄ concentration was decreased to 10 μM by
exchanging the medium. Induction of the ccrM gene expression was performed
by replacing the glucose-containing medium with arabinose (0.02% (w/v))
containing medium. The EGFP expression was evaluated via flow cytometry
as described in Ullrich et al.^{30 (link)} using
a MACSQuant VYB Flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec). Data analysis was
performed with FLOWJO V10.8.0 software (FlowJo BD, Heidelberg Germany).

At day 6, generated macrophages were treated with LPS (10 ng/mL) and incubated for 18 h in the presence or absence of various concentrations of MI-2. The culture supernatants were collected and kept at −80 °C until analysis, and TNFα levels in the culture supernatants were measured using the Human TNFα ELISA MAX^TM Deluxe Kit following the manufacturer’s procedure (BioLegend). To identify human macrophages, cells were stained with antibodies against human CD68 and TNFα (BioLegend) using the BioLegend Intracellular Staining Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions prior to analysis by flow cytometry. Staining data were analysed on a MACSQuant®VYB flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany).

At specific time points following mouse inoculation with various agents, mice were euthanized by CO2 inhalation followed by rapid dissection of the spleen. Mouse spleens were minced on ice and a cellular suspension was separated from tissue using a 40 μm cell strainer. Red blood cells were removed by rapid exposure of mouse splenocytes to ACK lysis buffer followed by washing with FACS buffer (PBS with 2% fetal bovine serum and 2 mM EDTA). Single cell suspensions of mouse splenocytes were first incubated with rat anti-mouse CD16/CD32 (BD Pharmingen #553142) on ice for 15 min, followed by incubation with fluorophore-conjugated antibodies and/or TNF-α conjugated liposomes encapsulating Alexa-594 for 10 min on ice covered by aluminum foil. The cells were washed twice with 200 μl FACS buffer, resuspended in FACS buffer, and fixed in the presence of 2% PFA at 22°C for 1 hour before data acquisition on a Miltenyi MACSQuant VYB flow cytometer equipped with 3 spatially-separated lasers (405, 488 and 561 nm) and 10 detection channels. A minimum of 100,000 events were collected for all experiments. The fluorophore-conjugated antibodies were pacific blue rat anti-mouse CD19 (Biolegend #115526), FITC rat anti-mouse GL7 antigen (Biolegend #144603). The data were analyzed using FlowJo (BD).

HAP1 cells were labeled using the CellTrace™ Violet (CTV) Cell Proliferation Kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. A 2 μl aliquot of CTV was incubated with 2 × 10⁶ HAP1 cells in 2 ml of PBS for 20 min at 37°C. To neutralize the unbound CTV, 8 ml of DMEM was added. After two washes with PBS, every cellular clone was plated in a 6-well plate at 3 × 10⁵ cells per well and grown with or without selenium supplementation. Cells were harvested at the indicated time points and analyzed by flow cytometry all at once at the end of the kinetics. Flow cytometry was performed on a MACSQuant® VYB Flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec) and the analysis was done with FlowJo software (Treestar, Ashland, OR, USA). The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of each condition was plotted as a function of time. Kinetic curves were fitted with y = a.exp(−k.t), where the doubling time t_1/2 = [ln(2)/k], and the represented time necessary for a 50% decrease in the MFI signal.

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.
