Protocol for Delivering AAV to Express Fluorescent Biosensors in the Juvenile Mouse Hippocampus

Experiment Tags: Adeno-Associated Viruses, Acute Brain Slices, Genetically-Encoded Fluorescent Biosensors, Hippocampus, Intracranial Injection, Dentate Granule cells

Experiment Summary: In this protocol, we describe a protocol for intracranial injections of two viral vectors encoding the metabolic biosensor Peredox and the calcium biosensor RCaMP1h. When combined with 2-photon microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging, this protocol allows the simultaneous quantitative assessment of changes in the cytosolic NADH/NAD+ ratio and the intracellular Ca2+ levels in individual dentate granule cells from acute hippocampal slices.

Protocol for Intrathoracic Inoculation of Zika Virus in Aedes aegypti

Experiment Tags: Aedes aegypti, Mosquito, Zika virus, Arbovirus, Intrathoracic Inoculation, Microinjection

Experiment Summary: This protocol describes herein a protocol for the intrathoracic inoculation of ZIKV in Ae. aegypti. This method bypasses the midgut, which leads to a more rapid and higher proportion of disseminated infections in comparison to oral challenge, and mosquitoes become infected with a consistent dose of virus.

Varicella Zoster Virus Replication Assays

Experiment Tags: Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), Replication Assays

Experiment Summary: This protocol describes a basic VZV replication assay using a recombinant VZV-GFP reporter virus. This reporter virus-infected cell line can be used in combination with siRNA gene depletion or cDNA overexpression transfection protocols to determine the effect of individual cellular genes on virus replication.

Antibody-Based CAR T Cells Produced by Lentiviral Transduction Protocol

Experiment Tags: Lentiviral Transduction, CAR T cells

Experiment Summary: In this protocol, an easy and reliable approach for CAR T cell generation is described. T cells are first isolated from peripheral blood and afterwards activated for one day with anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads. The gene transfer is performed by lentiviral transduction and gene transfer rate can be verified by flowcytometric analysis.

Retroviral Capsid Core Stability Assay Protocol

Experiment Tags: Retrovirus, Enveloped Virus, MLV, HIV, Capsid Core Stability Assay, Fate of Capsid Assay, Glycosylated Gag, gPr80, TRIM5α

Experiment Summary: In this protocol, we describe a method using an in vitro detergent-based approach combined with ultracentrifugation for assessing viral capsid core stability. The results show that this method is a significantly simpler and faster way to assess relative capsid core stability.
