Full Methods

Primary Antibody: ABIN236885

Secondary Antibody: anti-rabbit-AF488 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc, 111-545-003), anti-rabbit-Alexa568 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, A11011)

Full Protocol:

• Transfection and infection:
• • Isolate human peripheral blood monocytes from buffy coats and differentiate them into macrophages in RPMI growth media with 20% human serum and 5% L-Glutamin-Pen/Strep (Sigma-Aldrich, G6784) at 37°C, 5% CO₂.
  • Transfect primary human macrophages with an expressing plasmid for a protein X that binds to plasma membranes and endomembranes using Neon Transfection System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MPK5000) for 3h at 37°C and seeded on 12mm glass coverslips (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24696301).
  • Infect macrophages expressing protein X with Borrelia burgdorferi B31 for 1h at 37°C and MOI 100.
  • Fix cells 10 min with 4% methanol-free formaldehyde.
• Extracellular immunofluorescence staining.
• • Block with 40µl of 2% BSA/PBS containing 5% normal human serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc, 009-000-001) and 5% normal goat serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc, 005-000-001) for 30min at RT.
  • Wash 2x with PBS.
  • Incubation with 40µl primary rabbit-anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antibody (antibodies-online, ABIN236885, lot 10L35615) diluted 1:1000 in PBS for 30min at RT.
  • Wash 2x with PBS.
  • Incubation with 40µl secondary anti-rabbit-AF488 antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc, 111-545-003) diluted 1:200 in PBS for 30min at RT.
  • Wash 2x with PBS.
• Intracellular immunofluorescence staining:
• • Permeabilize cells with 0.05% Triton X-100/PBS for 10 min at RT.
  • Wash 2x with PBS.
  • Incubation with 40µl primary rabbit-anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antibody (antibodies-online, ABIN236885, lot 10L35615) diluted 1:1000 in PBS for 30min at RT.
  • Wash 2x with PBS.
  • Incubation with 40µl of anti-rabbit-AF568 antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific, A11011) diluted 1:200 for 30 min at RT.
  • Wash 2x with PBS.
  • Mount coverslips with 6µl prewarmed Mowiol 4-88 mounting medium (Sigma-Aldrich, 81381) on object slides for at least 1h.
• Image acquisition:
• • Image acquisition was performed with a Leica TCS SP5 (with a Leica TCS SP5 AOBS confocal point scanner), equipped with an oil-immersion HCX PL APO 63x NA 1.4 λ_blue objective.
