Sample Vitrification DetailsVITRIFICATION 1 -- CRYOGEN- ETHANE, HUMIDITY - 80, INSTRUMENT- FEI VITROBOT MARK III, METHOD- PLEUROTOLYSIN A WAS FIRST ADDED TO SPHINGOMYELIN-CHOLEST ...VITRIFICATION 1 -- CRYOGEN- ETHANE, HUMIDITY - 80, INSTRUMENT- FEI VITROBOT MARK III, METHOD- PLEUROTOLYSIN A WAS FIRST ADDED TO SPHINGOMYELIN-CHOLESTEROL LIPOSOMES AT A MOLAR RATIO OF 1 TO 2000 PROTEIN TO LIPID IN THE ABOVE BUFFER. AFTER 5 MIN INCUBATION AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, PLEUROTOLYSIN B WAS ADDED TO THE MIXTURE AT A MOLAR RATIO OF 1 TO 2 TO PLEUROTOLYSIN A. THE MIXTURE WAS INCUBATED AT 40C OR ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR 30 MIN AFTER WHICH 3. 5 UL WERE PLACED ON NEGATIVELY GLOW DISCHARGED LACEY GRIDS AND VITRIFIED IN LIQUID ETHANE USING A VITROBOT. BLOTTING WAS CARRIED OUT AT 36C AND 80 PERCENT HUMIDITY.
