Description

Live-cell imaging of NF-κB immune response in Drosophila S2* cells. Cells stimulated after 60 minutes show nuclear translocation of NF-κB and subsequent transcription of Dpt gene.

Technical Details

Cells were adhered to glass-bottom wells coated with concanavalin A (a lectin protein), and stimulated with 10  µg/mL DAP-type peptidoglycan at time point 5.

Microscopy Setup
Imaging was performed on a Nikon A1R point-scanning confocal microscope equipped with high-sensitivity GaAsP PMTs and a 60× oil immersion objective (NA = 1.4). Acquisition was controlled via Nikon Elements software.
Imaging Parameters
Time-lapse acquisition:

  • Every 15 minutes for 2 hours (9 frames)
  • Every 30 minutes for 8 hours (17 frames)
  • Every 1 hour for 5 hours (6 frames)
  • Image dimensions: 294.6 × 294.6 µm, Resolution: 3.4756 pixels per µm
  • Z-stack: 3 frames spanning a 2 µm depth
  • Output: Maximum z-projections from the 3-frame stacks
