Article Title: Red Fluorescent Chlamydia trachomatis Applied to Live Cell Imaging and Screening for Antibacterial Agents
doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.03151
Figure Lengend Snippet: C. trachomatis expressing the red fluorescent protein mCherry can be detected without immunostaining. Images in (A) represents live infection imaging (upper) of Hoechst (blue) and mCherry (red). Lower panel images are acquired in the same field after immunostaining with FITC-labeled antibody. A merge of live and stained images is shown. Bars in (B) show the inclusion count obtained in in three individual wells from mCherry live imaging and FITC immunostained inclusions, respectively. (C) wt and mCherry expressing C. trachomatis are equally sensitive to doxycycline. Live imaging was used for mCherry expressing C. trachomatis inclusions while wt inclusions were visualized by FITC immunostaining.
Article Snippet: The primary screen of the 349 open access compound library was performed using the mCherry expressing C. trachomatis serovar L2 454/Bu in clear, flat 96-well plates (Nunc, Delta surface, Thermo Fischer Scientific).
