Abstract
Protocol for preparation of α-synuclein pre-formed fibrils (PFF) obtained from expression and purification of Human α-synuclein
Troubleshooting
α- synuclein was dissolved in PBS buffer and placed in 96 wells plates containing teflon
polyball (1/8′′ diameter)
Plates were fixed into an orbital culture shaker Max-Q 4000 Thermo Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA) to keep the incubation at 37 °C, 100 rpm for 24 hours.
After production, PFF were briefly sonicated and added to the co-cultures for 8 hours at a concentration of 10ug/ml
