Lipid Bilayer Experiments with Contact Bubble Bilayers for Patch-Clampers

Here, we present a protocol for the formation of lipid bilayers using a contact bubble bilayer method. A water bubble is blown into an organic solvent, whereby a monolayer is formed at the water-oil interface. Two pipettes are manipulated to dock the bubbles to form a...

One-channel Cell-attached Patch-clamp Recording

Described here is a procedure for obtaining long stretches of current recording from one ion channel with the cell-attached patch-clamp technique. This method allows for observing, in real time, the pattern of open-close channel conformations that underlie the biological signal. These data inform about channel properties in undisturbed biological...

Whole Cell Patch Clamp for Investigating the Mechanisms of Infrared Neural Stimulation

Infrared nerve stimulation has been proposed as an alternative to electrical stimulation in a range of nerve types, including those associated with the auditory system. This protocol describes a patch clamp method for studying the mechanism of infrared nerve stimulation in a culture of primary auditory...

Supported Planar Bilayers for the Formation of Study of Immunological Synapses and Kinapse

Supported planar bilayers are powerful tools that can be used to model the molecular interactions in an immunological synapse. Here, we show methods for anchoring cell adhesion proteins known to modulate synapse formation to the upper leaflet of the lipid bilyer and visualize synapse formation using TIRF microscopy.

An In Vitro Technique to Study T Cell Interaction with Supported Planar Lipid Bilayers

This video demonstrates an in vitro technique to study immune synapse formation between primary human T cells and supported lipid bilayers (SLB). T cell surface proteins interact with respective ligands immobilized on SLB to form an immune synapse, followed by the movement of lytic granules towards the synapse, which is visualized using fluorescence...
