Cells were fixed with 4% PFA (wt/vol) for 10–15 min and blocked for 30 min in 10% goat serum (Sigma), 2% horse serum (GIBCO), and 0.3% Triton-X-100 at 20–25 °C. Primary antibodies were diluted in blocking solution and applied for 1 h at 20–25 °C, and included mouse anti-MAG (1:100, Millipore; MAB1567), rat anti-MBP (1:250; AbD Serotec; MCA409S), and chicken anti-GFP (1:100; Abcam; ab13970). Cells were incubated with fluorescently conjugated secondary antibodies diluted in blocking solution (1:1000, Life Technologies-Molecular Probes), and in a subset of experiments with Phalloidin-Alexa-568 (1:40; ThermoFisher), for 1 h at 20–25 °C. Slides were counterstained with Hoechst (5 µg ml−1) and coverslipped with Fluoromount-G. Cells were imaged on a Leica SPE confocal microscope (40× objective) or an Olympus 3i Spinning Disk microscope (30× or 60× objectives).

Parental cells and M13HS hybrid clone cells (2×104) were seeded onto cover slips in the appropriate media for 24 h in a humidified atmosphere at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde (PFA; 4% (w/v) in PBS; 20 min, room temperature), washed twice with PBS and were permeabilized with 1% Triton X-100 ((v/v) in PBS; 5 min, RT). Subsequently, cells were washed again twice with PBS and were stained with Phalloidin-Alexa568 (1 h, room temperature) and SYTOX Green (15 min, room temperature; both dyes from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bonn, Germany). Samples were washed again two time with PBS, mounted with Fluoromount (Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) and were finally analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (Leica TCS SP5; Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany). Images were processed using ImageJ (imagej.nih.gov/ij/).

BxPC-3 cells were plated on coverslips coated with a layer of 2% type B gelatin (MilliporeSigma) or with Oregon Green-labeled gelatin (ThermoFisher Scientific), essentially as described before (Diaz et al., 2013 (link); Díaz, 2013 (link)); PANC-1 were plated on coverslips coated with type B gelatin and treated with 10% NuSerum supplement (Corning) for 24 h. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min, blocked in PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and 3% BSA, and incubated overnight at 4 °C in primary antibody diluted 1:500 in PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and 0.3% BSA. Secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa 488 or Alexa 594, as well as Phalloidin-Alexa 568 (ThermoFisher Scientific) were used at 1:500. Samples were mounted using vectashield containing DAPI (Vector Labs). Images were obtained using a 63× objective in a Zeiss AxioImager A1 equipped with a PRIOR Lumen 200, Axiocam 503 mono camera and ZEN2 software (Zeiss).

Samples, isolated blebs and cells were spun on poly-L-lysine coated 25 mm coverslips by centrifugation at 460 g for 10 min. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS for 10 min followed by 10 min permeabilisation with 0.2% Triton X-100 at room temperature. Blebs were fixed with combined permeabilisation-fixation for 6 min with 4% PFA in intracellular buffer with 0.2% Triton X-100 followed by 14 min fixation with 4% PFA in intracellular buffer at room temperature, followed by three washes with PBS. Samples were stained with DAPI and phalloidin–Alexa568 (1:500 dilution, Thermo Fisher Scientific, A12380) for 1 h, followed by three washes with PBS.
Samples were imaged using Olympus FluoView FV1200 Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope using a 60× oil objective (NA 1.4).

Integrin and Actin Cytoskeleton Analysis in Lymphoid Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flow cytometry was performed on peripheral blood mononu-clear cells, LCL, and cultured primary B cells using an LSRFortessa X-20 (BD Biosciences). The results were processed using FlowJo v10 software (TreeStar Inc., St. Ashland, OR, USA). To determine integrin expression at the cell surface, LCL were labeled with an anti-human CD11a antibody (TS2/4; Biolegend) for total CD11a expression, or an anti-human CD11a antibody (Hl111; Biolegend) for inactive/closed conformation-CD11a expression, or an anti-human CD54 antibody (Biolegend), followed by an anti-mouse-Alexa647 antibody (ThermoFisher Scientific). To determine F- and G-actin content in two LCL samples side by side, one sample was incubated with an anti-human CD54 antibody (Biolegend) for 30 min on ice and thereafter labeled with DNaseI-Alexa488 (ThermoFisher Scientific) and phalloidin-Alexa568 (ThermoFisher Scientific).

Cells were grown on poly-D-lysine hydrobromide (50–100μg (cm2)-1 Sigma) and collagen-coated glass cover slips (Karl Hecht GmbH&Co KG, Sondheim, Germany) and exposed to normoxia or severe hypoxia prior to 4h reoxygenation with or without sevoflurane as described. The monoclonal mouse anti-β-catenin antibody was used at a dilution of 1:500 (BD), monoclonal mouse anti-ZO-1 antibody at a dilution of 1:100 and phalloidin-Alexa 568 at 1:30 (both Life Technologies). The secondary anti-mouse Alexa-Fluor 488 antibody (Life technologies) was applied at a dilution of 1:500 and 4’, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) for nuclear staining was diluted to 1:1000.

Immunostaining and Confocal Imaging Protocol

Immunostaining of cell cultures and cryostate sections was performed as described previously (Vutskits et al., 2001 (link)). For phalloidin staining of actin filaments, cells were incubated 20 min RT with phalloidin-Alexa568 (Life Technologies, 1/40) following the incubation with secondary antibodies. Images were acquired with a Nikon Eclipse 80i (Nikon Instruments) epifluorescent microscope, with an LSM 510 META (Carl Zeiss) and a Nikon A1 (Nikon Instruments) laser scanning confocal microscope. Image processing was carried out with the NIS-Elements Advanced Research platform (Nikon Instruments, version 3.21.0), and the Metamorph Software (Molecular Devices, version 7.4).

Immunostaining of HEp-2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEp-2 cells (ATCC) were split 1/3 in T175 on day −2 and seeded to glass coverslips at day −1 (100K/well, 24 well). Cells were fixed with 1%PFA for 20 min at RT. Cells were then blocked and permeabilized with block/perm buffer (2% FBS, 0.1% Tx-100 in PBS). After 30 min, cells were stained o/n in block/perm buffer with indicated antibodies at 10 ug/ml, 1 ug/ml or 0.1 ug/ml (C11 and 564 only). The next day, coverslips were washed 3 times and incubated for one hour with Goat anti Mouse IgG (H+L) Alexa488 (Life Technologies), phalloidin Alexa568 (Life Technologies) and DAPI. Coverslips were then washed 4 times and mounted on slides with Fluorogel as mounting medium. Detectors were set to no primary Ab control. Anti HA Ab 6649 was used as negative control. C11, the original hybridoma from which the 564 BCR was created was used as positive control in addition to re-cloned 564.

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.
