Monocyte Morphology Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sorted monocytes were imaged after being seeded in chamber slides (ibidi) and allowed to adhere. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with a saponin solution, and stained with Hoescht dye and fluorescently labeled phalloidin (both from Molecular Probes), and mAbs against β-tubulin (BD) and vinculin (Abcam). Cell morphology was captured on an Eclipse TiE epifluorescent microscope with NIS Elements deconvolution software (Nikon).

Hemocyte Isolation and Immunostaining in Drosophila

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyze hemocytes ex vivo, hemocytes of single flies were released in 100μl of Schneider’s medium (Gibco, Millipore) or PBS supplemented with Complete 2x (Roche) and proteinase inhibitor 4-(2-Aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride AEBSF (Sigma); flies were dissected and hemocytes were scraped from all inside areas of the fly (head, thorax and abdomen).
For immunohistochemistry, antibodies used were goat anti-GFP (Rockland Immunochemicals, 1:2000), rabbit anti-βGal (Thermo, 1:1000), rabbit anti-DsRed (Rockland Immunochemicals, 1:1000), mouse P1 (P1a+P1b) (Kurucz et al., 2007a (link)) (kind gift of I. Ando, 1:10), anti-Crq (Franc et al., 1996 (link)) (kind gift of C. Kocks, 1:1000), anti-Srp (kind gift of A. Giangrande, 1:1000) and secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa dyes (Molecular Probes, 1:500), fluorescently labeled phalloidin (Molecular Probes), DAPI (Sigma), DRAQ5 (ThermoFisher).
Fat body cells were labeled using OilRedO (37%) dissolved in triethyl phosphate (6ml triethyl phosphate and 4 ml water) for 30 min, followed by three to four washes with distilled water. Other stainings used fluorescent LipidTOX dyes (LifeTech), diluted in PBS.

Immunostaining and RNA Hybridization Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining and RNA in situ hybridizations were essentially performed as described in (Miller et al., 2017) . The following antibodies were used: mouse anti-P1/NimC1 (Kurucz et al., 2007) , mouse anti-Col (Krzemien et al., 2007) , mouse anti-ß integrin/Myospheroid (CF6.G11, DSHB), mouse anti-Antp (8C11, DSHB), rabbit anti-GFP (Torrey Pines), anti-DIG coupled to alkaline phosphatase (Roche) and Alexa-fluor labelled secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes). Nuclei were stained with DAPI and the actin cytoskeleton with fluorescently labeled phalloidin (Molecular Probes). The slides were mounted in Vectashield (Vector) and observed under a confocal microscope (Zeiss LSM800 or Leica SP5). Confocal images are displayed as maximum intensity projection of Z-stacks.

Immunofluorescence Staining of Cultured Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells cultured on glass-bottom dishes were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (Wako) at 37°C for 30 min, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 15 min, blocked with 5% normal goat serum for 1 h, and incubated with the primary antibody (Supplemental Table S3) for 1.5 h and then hybridized with appropriate secondary antibodies (Thermo Fischer Scientific) for 1 h at room temperature. The cell nucleus and actin filaments were stained with Hoechst 33342 (Thermo Fischer Scientific) and fluorescently labeled phalloidin (Thermo Fischer Scientific), respectively. Images were acquired using a microscope (IX73, Olympus) or a confocal laser scanning microscope (FV1000, Olympus) equipped with a UPlan Apo 60× oil objective lens (NA = 1.42) and analyzed using ImageJ software.

Probing T Cell Activation Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD4 and CD8 T cells were purified by negative selection and expanded for 48 hr using platebound anti-CD3 (clone 145–2c11; 1μg/mL) and anti-CD28 (clone 37.51; 1μg/mL). Cells were collected and allowed to rest on ice for 2 hr prior to stimulation with planar lipid bilayers as described above, for 15 min. Cells were subsequently fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% T-100, and blocked with PBS containing 2% bovine serum albumin and 5% goat serum before incubation with pZAP70 (cell signaling technologies, cat#2701), pERK (cell signaling technologies, cat#4370) or pAKT (cell signaling technologies, cat#4060) Abs, as well as fluorescently labeled phalloidin (ThermoFisher). All antibodies were used at 1:200. Images were acquired with a Marianas CSU-W with super resolution via optical reassignment (SoRa) spinning disc equipped with a 100X oil objective, Prime95B sCMOS camera and Slidebook software (Intelligent Imaging Innovations).

Immunofluorescence Microscopy of HS1 and Actin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence microscopy was carried out using standard techniques. At specified time points, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 10 minutes. Samples were then blocked using 5% BSA for 2 hours at room temperature. Samples were stained with primary antibodies targeting HS1 (D5A9; Cell Signaling Technology), followed by appropriate secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa fluorphores (Invitrogen). Cells were also stained for actin cytoskeleton using fluorescently-labeled phalloidin (Invitrogen) and nuclear stain Hoechst 33342 (Thermo).

Unless stated otherwise, 200,000 cells were plated on collagen-coated coverslips (18 mm, No. 1.5) in a six-well plate well and kept in a CO2 incubator for 48 h to form a freshly confluent monolayer. Cells were fixed either with ice-cold methanol for 1 min (for keratin staining) or with 4% PFA for 10 min (for F-actin staining). When PFA was used for fixation, cells were subsequently permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 10 min. Nonspecific antigen interactions were blocked with 5% BSA in PBST for 1 h. Incubation with primary antibodies was performed either for 3 h at RT or overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Coverslips were incubated with secondary antibodies, together with Hoechst 33258 (Sigma-Aldrich) and, when indicated, also with fluorescently labeled phalloidin (Invitrogen) for 1 h at RT in the dark.

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.
