This protocol describes how to:

  • Determine fibril length of sonicated unlabelled α-synuclein preformed fibrils (PFFs) by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electron microscopy (EM)
  • Confirm cellular uptake of fluorescently-labelled α-synuclein PFFs by immunofluorescence (IF)
  • Qualitatively verify the formation of amyloid beta-sheets in α -synuclein PFF by Thioflavin (ThT) assay.
