Two-color in-resin CLEM of Epon-embedded cells using osmium resistant green and red fluorescent proteins
Abstract In-resin CLEM of Epon embedded samples can greatly simplify the correlation of fluorescent images with electron micrographs. The usefulness of this technique is limited at present by the low number of fluorescent proteins that resist CLEM processing. Additionally, no study has reported the...

Abstract In-resin CLEM of Epon embedded samples can greatly simplify the correlation of fluorescent images with electron micrographs. The usefulness of this technique is limited at present by the low number of fluorescent proteins that resist CLEM processing. Additionally, no study has reported the possibility of two-color in-resin CLEM of Epon embedded cells. In this study, we screened for monomeric green and red fluorescent proteins that resist CLEM processing. We identified mWasabi, CoGFP variant 0, and mCherry2; two green and one red fluorescent proteins as alternatives for in-resin CLEM. We expressed mitochondria-localized mCherry2 and histone H2B tagged with CoGFP variant 0 in cells. Green and red fluorescence was detected in 100 nm-thin sections of the Epon-embedded cells.

Two-color in-resin CLEM of two cytoplasmic organelles, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, was also achieved using mitochondria-localized mCherry2 and endoplasmic reticulum-localized mWasabi. In summary, we report three new fluorescent protein-alternatives suitable for in-resin CLEM of Epon-embedded samples, and achieved Epon-based two-color in-resin CLEM. |
