For immunofluorescence assay, C6 cells (3.0 × 105/well), primary astrocytes and mixed glial cells (2.0 × 105/well) were seeded on coverslips in 12-well plate and treated for 1 h with IS (30 μM). In some experiments with C6 cells, DPI (10 μM) and NAC (2 mM) were added 1 h before IS. In other experiments, CH-223191 (1 μM), was added 1 h before IS to C6 cells. Then cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS. After blocking with BSA and PBS, cells were incubated with rabbit anti-Nrf2 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnologies; sc-722; used at diluition 1:250), with mouse anti-AhR antibody (Abcam; ab2769; used at diluition 1:250) or with rabbit anti-p65 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnologies; sc-372; used at diluition 1:250). The slides were then washed with PBS for three times and fluorescein-conjugated secondary antibody (Immuno Reagents; used at diluition 1:2000) was added for 1 h. DAPI was used for counterstaining of nuclei. Coverslips were finally mounted in mounting medium and fluorescence images were caught using the Laser Confocal Microscope (Leica TCS SP5) as previously reported (Del Regno et al., 2015 (link)).

ChIP studies were performed using an AHR-specific antibody (ab2769; Abcam, Cambridge, MA) and the ChIP kit (ab500; Abcam) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
