Protocols

Research Protocol for Infectious Diseases
Infectious-disease experiments test how pathogens interact with host barriers, innate immune receptors, inflammatory signaling, pathogen replication, and tissue injury; pattern-recognition receptors such as TLRs, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and inflammasomes detect microbial molecules and activate NF-κB, interferon, and cytokine responses. The central hypothesis is that infection severity reflects the balance between pathogen burden and host response: protective inflammation restricts pathogen growth, whereas excessive or mislocalized inflammation contributes to tissue damage and disease phenotype. Unresolved questions include which host pathways are protective versus pathogenic, why some infection models fail to translate to human disease, and which combined readouts best predict clinically relevant infection outcomes.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

CFSE Dye Dilution Proliferation Assay
The CFSE (carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester) dye dilution proliferation assay is based on the covalent labeling of intracellular proteins by a cell-permeant fluorescent dye that becomes fluorescent upon intracellular ester cleavage and then is stably retained within cells. As labeled cells divide, the dye is partitioned equally between daughter cells, resulting in a stepwise halving of fluorescence intensity that can be quantified by flow cytometry to determine the number of cell divisions undergone by each cell population. This fluorescence dilution approach enables quantitative tracking of lymphocyte proliferation at the single-cell level over multiple rounds of division. CFSE-based proliferation analysis has been widely applied to measure antigen-driven lymphocyte expansion in vitro, where discrete fluorescence peaks correspond to successive cell divisions and allow reconstruction of proliferative history within heterogeneous populations.

Dye-dilution cell tracking and proliferation staining
Dye-dilution cell tracking assays quantify cell proliferation by covalently labeling intracellular proteins with a stable fluorescent dye that is equally partitioned between daughter cells during mitosis, resulting in stepwise halving of fluorescence intensity with each cell division as measured by flow cytometry histograms. Carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) is a prototypical dye that diffuses into cells, is enzymatically converted into a fluorescent compound, and then covalently binds intracellular amine groups, producing long-lived fluorescence suitable for tracking multiple rounds of division in vitro and in vivo. Successive generations of dividing cells form discrete peaks of decreasing fluorescence intensity, enabling estimation of proliferation history, precursor frequency, and division index within heterogeneous populations. Alternative dyes such as CellTrace Violet (CTV) and far-red membrane dyes (e. g. , PKH26) follow the same dilution principle but differ

Bacterial live/dead nucleic-acid viability staining
The LIVE/DEAD bacterial viability staining method is based on differential permeability of nucleic-acid-binding fluorescent dyes, most commonly SYTO 9 and propidium iodide (PI), which enables discrimination of bacterial populations with intact versus compromised cytoplasmic membranes. SYTO 9 penetrates both intact and damaged bacterial membranes and binds nucleic acids to produce green fluorescence, whereas propidium iodide penetrates only cells with compromised membranes and fluoresces red while also reducing SYTO 9 signal through competitive binding and fluorescence interactions. The resulting fluorescence pattern is interpreted as a proxy for membrane integrity, which is widely used as an indicator of bacterial viability in microscopy, flow cytometry, and spectroscopic platforms. However, mechanistic studies show that SYTO 9 and PI interactions involve displacement and fluorescence resonance energy transfer effects, which can influence signal interpretation depending on dye ratios a
