Published Workflows
Objective: To directly visualize individual extracellular vesicles below the diffraction limit in three dimensions and determine whether their surfaces contain molecular microdomains.
Why it works: The workflow combines super-resolution optical imaging to localize nanoscale surface clusters on individual EVs with Cryo-EM as an orthogonal confirmation method for the observed membrane microdomains.

Stages
- 1.3D dSTORM imaging of individual extracellular vesicles(functional_characterization)
This stage addresses the difficulty of directly visualizing sub-diffraction-limit EVs and provides the primary evidence for surface microdomains.
Selection: Direct three-dimensional visualization of individual EVs and localization of surface molecule clusters including CD81 and CD9.
- 2.Cryo-EM confirmation of membrane microdomains(confirmatory_validation)
This stage exists to confirm that the membrane microdomains inferred from dSTORM are supported by an orthogonal method.
Selection: Orthogonal confirmation of membrane microdomains observed in the primary imaging stage.
Steps
- 1.Visualize individual extracellular vesicles in three dimensions by dSTORMprimary imaging assay
To directly visualize individual EVs that are below the diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy.
This is the primary measurement step needed before any structural interpretation or orthogonal confirmation can occur.
- 2.Localize CD81 and CD9 surface clusters on individual extracellular vesiclescluster-localization method
To identify molecule clusters such as CD81 and CD9 on the EV surface and infer membrane microdomains.
Cluster localization follows acquisition of 3D dSTORM data because the microdomain claim depends on analyzing the imaged individual particles.
- 3.Confirm membrane microdomains by Cryo-EMorthogonal validation assay
To confirm the membrane microdomains observed in the dSTORM-based analysis.
Cryo-EM is applied after the dSTORM-based observation because it serves as confirmatory validation of the primary finding.
Objective: Evaluate antibacterial activity, host-cell compatibility, and bacterial uptake/localization of sphingolipids and ceramide analogs against pathogenic Neisseria.
Why it works: The workflow combines antibacterial potency assays with kinetic, toxicity, and imaging readouts so that active compounds can be linked to rapid bacterial uptake and membrane localization while checking host-cell compatibility.

Stages
- 1.Antibacterial activity profiling by MIC and MBC(broad_screen)
This stage identifies which sphingolipids and ceramide analogs are active against pathogenic Neisseria and distinguishes them from compounds inactive against comparator bacteria.
Selection: Compounds showing antibacterial activity against Neisseria meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae in MIC and MBC assays.
- 2.Kinetic killing characterization(secondary_characterization)
This stage characterizes the time scale of bactericidal action for an active compound after initial activity has been established.
Selection: Measure how quickly an active compound kills N. meningitidis.
- 3.Host-cell toxicity check(confirmatory_validation)
This stage checks whether antibacterial activity is accompanied by significant toxicity to host cells.
Selection: Assess whether bactericidal concentrations cause significant host-cell toxicity.
- 4.Bacterial uptake and membrane localization imaging(functional_characterization)
This stage provides spatial and temporal evidence that ceramide analogs enter bacteria rapidly and distribute in the bacterial membrane.
Selection: Visualize uptake timing and membrane distribution of ceramide analogs in bacteria.
Steps
- 1.Measure MIC and MBC of sphingolipids and ceramide analogs against pathogenic Neisseria and comparator bacteriatested antibacterial ceramide analog
Identify active compounds and assess organism selectivity.
Initial potency testing is needed before kinetic, toxicity, and localization follow-up can focus on active compounds.
- 2.Test killing kinetics of ω-azido-C6-ceramide against Neisseria meningitidisactive hit selected for kinetic follow-up
Determine how rapidly the active compound kills bacteria.
Kinetic characterization follows initial activity detection to refine understanding of bactericidal performance.
- 3.Assess host-cell toxicity of ω-azido-C6-ceramide at a bactericidal concentrationactive antibacterial candidate under safety check
Check whether bactericidal dosing causes significant host-cell toxicity.
A host-compatibility check is performed after antibacterial activity is established to evaluate whether the active compound remains usable in a host-relevant context.
- 4.Measure bacterial uptake of ceramide analogs by flow cytometry and CLSMassays used to quantify and visualize uptake
Determine whether ceramide analogs are rapidly taken up by bacteria.
After activity and host-compatibility are established, uptake measurements help connect antibacterial behavior to bacterial association.
- 5.Visualize membrane distribution of ceramide analogs by CLSM and dSTORMimaging assays used for localization
Determine spatial distribution of ceramide analogs in the bacterial membrane.
Localization imaging follows uptake detection to provide higher-resolution spatial evidence about where the compounds accumulate.
