This article describes a protocol for the extraction of translating ribosomes from eukaryotic cells. Once extracted, ribosomes are separated into monosomes and polyribosomes by sucrose gradient fractionation to allow different ribosomal populations to be analyzed. As such, this method is the gold standard for examining the regulation of translation.

Salmonella invades and replicates inside intestinal epithelial cells both in Salmonella-specific vacuoles and free in the cytosol (hyper-replication). A high-throughput fluorescence microscopy-based protocol is described here to quantify the intracellular phenotypes of Salmonella by two complementary image analyses through ImageJ, reaching single-cell resolution and scoring.

Zebrafish represent a powerful vertebrate model that has been under-utilised for metabolic studies. Here we describe a rapid way to measure the in vivo metabolic profile of developing zebrafish that allows the comparison of different mitochondrial function parameters between genetically or pharmacologically manipulated embryos, thereby increasing the applicability of this organism.

We illustrate the application of 1H(15N,αγ)12C resonant nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) to quantitatively evaluate the density of hydrogen atoms on the surface, in the volume, and at an interfacial layer of solid materials. The near-surface hydrogen depth profiling of a Pd(110) single crystal and of SiO2/Si(100) stacks is described.
FAQs
It compares patterns across multiple measured features rather than relying on one observable trait. A profile may combine signals from imaging, flow cytometry, molecular assays, or other high-content measurements, then be evaluated against reference profiles or treatment responses. This multidimensional comparison can separate immune-cell states and associate phenotype changes with underlying biological mechanisms.
Standardized conditions make profiles more comparable across samples and experiments. When the measured environment is kept consistent, differences in multidimensional patterns can be interpreted more confidently as biological variation or a treatment response rather than uncontrolled experimental variation. In infection studies, this supports comparisons between pathogen-exposed and other samples, while vaccine or antimicrobial studies can assess cellular responses under consistent conditions.
Different measurement modalities contribute complementary evidence about the same biological sample. Imaging, flow cytometry, molecular assays, and other high-content measurements can each add dimensions to the resulting profile, allowing investigators to examine complex responses more fully than a single measurement would. Together, these measurements support treatment comparisons, immune-state classification, and investigation of host responses.
Reference profiles provide a comparison framework for interpreting multidimensional measurements. A new sample can be assessed according to how its pattern relates to established profiles or to profiles associated with particular treatment responses. This comparison helps organize complex observations for disease classification, biomarker discovery, and evaluation of changes caused by infection, vaccination, or antimicrobial compounds.
A typical workflow begins by applying standardized experimental conditions to cells, organisms, or clinical samples. Investigators then collect measurements through imaging, flow cytometry, molecular assays, or other high-content approaches, assemble the resulting features into profiles, and compare those patterns with reference profiles or treatment responses. The final interpretation connects phenotype patterns with biological mechanisms and study outcomes.
In immunology and infection research, the approach is useful when a study must distinguish related immune-cell states or examine how pathogens alter host phenotypes. It can also characterize cellular responses to vaccines and antimicrobial compounds. These outputs support analysis of host-pathogen interactions while contributing to disease classification, biomarker discovery, therapeutic development, and evaluation of intervention responses.
