Abstract [en]

The causative agent of a severe pneumonia termed "Legionnaires' disease", Legionella pneumophila, replicates within protozoan and mammalian phagocytes in a specialized intracellular compartment called the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). This compartment does not fuse with bactericidal lysosomes but communicates extensively with several cellular vesicle trafficking pathways and eventually associates tightly with the endoplasmic reticulum. In order to comprehend in detail the complex process of LCV formation, the identification and kinetic analysis of cellular trafficking pathway markers on the pathogen vacuole are crucial. This chapter describes imaging flow cytometry (IFC)-based methods for the objective, quantitative and high-throughput analysis of different fluorescently tagged proteins or probes on the LCV. To this end, we use the haploid amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum as an infection model for L. pneumophila, to analyze either fixed intact infected host cells or LCVs from homogenized amoebae. Parental strains and isogenic mutant amoebae are compared in order to determine the contribution of a specific host factor to LCV formation. The amoebae simultaneously produce two different fluorescently tagged probes enabling tandem quantification of two LCV markers in intact amoebae or the identification of LCVs using one probe and quantification of the other probe in host cell homogenates. The IFC approach allows rapid generation of statistically robust data from thousands of pathogen vacuoles and can be applied to other infection models.
