Burkholderia cenocepacia and Ubiquitin Staining for High-Content Imaging

Step Parameter Value Description
1 Differentiation 48 h Human THP1 monocytes were differentiated to macrophages by treating with 50 ng/mL PMA and grown in RPMI media with 10% heat-inactivated FBS
2 Rapamycin treatment 50 μg/mL If required for experimental protocol, treat cells with rapamycin for 2 h before infection
3 Infect cells 1 h Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 was added to cells in fresh media (no rapamycin) at an MOI of 1 (5 × 105 bacteria/mL)
4 Combination antibiotic treatment 2 h Infected media was aspirated and replaced with media treated with 250 μg/mL gentamicin and 500 μg/mL ceftazidime
5 Media replacement 3–21 h Antibiotic media was replaced with nonantibiotic RPMI for the remainder of the time course
6 Fixation 3×, 10 min Cells were washed thrice in PBS and fixed with 4% PFA
7 Permeabilize cells 10 min Cells were washed once in PBS and permeabilized with Triton X-100 0.1%
8 Block cells 1 h Cells were washed twice in PBS and blocked in 5% BSA-PBS
9 Primary and secondary antibody staining; nuclear staining   As described in Table 1, steps 8–14

FBS, fetal bovine serum; PMA, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; MOI, multiplicity of infection.
