| ln Vivo |
Geneticin G418 (G-418 disulfate) (40 and 80 mg/kg) for three consecutive days are sufficient to eliminate all nontransfected T. brucei brucei parasites from infected mice[3].

| Cell Assay |
Acanthamoeba is a widely distributed opportunistic parasite which causes a vision-threatening keratitis and a life-threatening encephalitis. The cyst stage of this amoeba is especially resistant to currently used therapeutics and so alternative agents are urgently required. Growing evidence supports the existence of a programmed cell death system (PCD) in Acanthamoeba and while some features are shared by higher eukaryote cells, others differ. It is hoped that by understanding these differences we can exploit them as targets for novel drug intervention to activate PCD pathways in the amoebae but not the invaded human tissue. Here, we use the aminoglycoside G418 to activate PCD in Acanthamoeba. This drug caused a shape change in the treated amoebae. Cells rounded up and contracted, and after 6 h fragments of cells resembling the 'apoptotic bodies' of vertebrate cells were observed. G418 causes an increase in intracellular calcium from a resting level of 24 nM to 60 nM after 6 h of treatment. Mitochondrial function as assayed by the ΔΨm reporting dye JC-1 and CTC a redox dye becomes inhibited during treatment and we have found that cytochrome c is released from the mitochondria. Cells stained with Hoechst showed first an alteration in chromatin structure and then a vesiculation of the nucleus with G418 treatment, although we found no obvious breakdown in genomic DNA in the early stages of PCD [5].

| Animal Protocol |
Mouse RML and 22L prion inocula were obtained from RML- or 22L-infected CAD5 cells (34). The cells were grown to confluency, scraped in 1 ml PBS per 10 cm dish, and then homogenized using a Minilys bead homogenizer and CK14 homogenization tubes (Bertin). Benzonase (50 units/ml; EMD Millipore #70746-4) was added into the scraped culture, and then the culture was homogenized for three cycles of 30 s at maximum speed, with 5 min of incubation on ice between each cycle. Cell homogenates were then stored at −80 °C. Syrian hamster 263K prion inoculum was prepared in a similar way from 263K-infected CAD5-PrP−/− cells stably expressing HaPrP.[6]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
