¹Department of Infection Biology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, ²Institut Pasteur, Unité Environnement et Risques Infectieux, Cellule d'Intervention Biologique d'Urgence (CIBU), ³Cellule Pasteur, Université de Paris

Reported here is a protocol for the quantification of infectious viral particles using real-time monitoring of electrical impedance of infected cells. A practical application of this method is presented by quantifying influenza A virus decay under different physicochemical parameters mimicking environmental conditions.

This protocol describes the quantification of volumetric cerebral hemodynamic variations in the mouse brain using functional ultrasound (fUS). Procedures for 3D functional activation map following sensory stimulation as well as resting-state functional connectivity are provided as illustrative examples, in anesthetized and awake mice.

¹NeuroDiderot, Inserm UMR-1141, Hôpital Robert Debré 48, Université de Paris, ²Department of anesthesia and critical care, APHP-Sorbonne university

Primary microglia cultures are commonly used to evaluate new anti-inflammatory molecules. The present protocol describes a reproducible and relevant method to magnetically isolate microglia from neonate pups.

Primary Human Nasal Epithelial Cells: Biobanking in the Context of Precision Medicine

Mairead Kelly^1,2, Elise Dreano^1,2, Aurelie Hatton^1,2, Agathe Lepissier^1,2, Anita Golec^1,2, Isabelle Sermet-Gaudelus^1,2,3, Iwona Pranke^1,2,3

¹Institut Necker Enfants Malades, ²Université de Paris, ³Centre de Référence Maladies Rares Mucoviscidose et Maladies apparentées, Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris

Here we describe the isolation, amplification, and differentiation of primary human nasal epithelial (HNE) cells at the air-liquid interface and a biobanking protocol allowing to successfully freeze and then thaw amplified HNE. The protocol analyzes electrophysiological properties of differentiated HNE cells and CFTR-related chloride secretion correction upon different modulator treatments.
