Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. Lrp1 is essential for RVFV infection of BV2 cells (A) Western blot of BV2 Lrp1 knockout clones (Lrp1KO C3, Lrp1KO R1, Lrp1KO R2, Lrp1KO R4, Lrp1KO R5, and Lrp1KO R6), and partial knockout (Lrp1PKO R3) generated using either single gRNA or dual gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 approaches, as described in STAR Methods. (B) BV2 wild-type (WT) and Lrp1KO clones were infected with RVFV ZH501 at a MOI of 0.1. After 18 h, the cells were harvested for RNA extraction and subjected to RT-qPCR analysis. Data shown are viral RNA (vRNA) titers normalized to wild-type BV2 cells. (C) Microscopic images showing the WT and LRP1KO R4 cells infected with RVFV MP12GFP (MOI 5 for 6 h) in fluorescence images (top panels) and DAPI-stained images (bottom panels). Images were taken at 203 magnification (for quantification, refer to Figure S2H). (D) Flow cytometry of WT, Lrp1PKO R3, and Lrp1KO R4 cells infected with RVFV MP12GFP. (E) Corresponding analysis of flow cytometry histograms in (D). (F) Western blot of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from Lrp+/+ and Lrp1F/F mice infected with AdCre. (G) Representative flow cytometry of MEFs Lrp1+/+ and LrpF/F cells infected for 5 days with AdCre and then infected with RVFV-MP12GFP at MOI of 1 for 15 h. (H) Corresponding analysis of flow cytometry histogram data in (G).
Article Snippet: Anti-Human IgG Fc Capture biosensors were hydrated in kinetics buffer (Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS) containing 0.02% Tween-20, 1 mg/mL BSA) for 15 min. Recombinant human LRP1 CLIV-Fc Chimera (R&D SYSTEMS, #5395-L4-050), recombinant human LRP1 CLII-Fc chimera (R&D SYSTEMS, #2368-L2-050), or recombinant human IgG1 Fc (R&D SYSTEMS, #110-HG-100) were loaded at 200 nM in buffer for 600 s prior to baseline equilibration for 300 s. Association of RVFVGn ormRAPD3 at various concentrations (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 mg/mL) was carried out for 900 s prior to dissociation for 900 s. Data were baseline subtracted to the buffer only controls.
