A standard plaque assay was used to determine the infectivity of MP-12 [31] (link). For determining the infectivity of scMP-12 and VRP, Vero-G cells in 6-well plates were inoculated with 400 µl of serially diluted samples and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. After removal of the inocula, cells were incubated with MEM containing 0.6% Tragacanth gum (MP Biomedicals), 5% FBS, and 5% tryptose phosphate broth at 37°C. After 3 days incubation, cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and fixed with PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at room temperature. After removing paraformaldehyde and overlays, the cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X100 and incubated with anti-N rabbit polyclonal antibody, which was generated by injecting a purified, bacterially-expressed fusion protein consisting of glutathione-S-transferase and full-length MP-12 N protein into rabbits, followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated, anti-rabbit IgG antibody. The plaques were visualized with Nova RED peroxidase substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). This modified plaque assay was also used for observing plaque morphologies of MP-12 in Vero-G cells.

Immunohistochemical staining for KI67 and caspase 3 (CASP3) was performed in GC monolayers, spheroids and gingiva ex vivo tissues to visualize proliferating and apoptotic cells, respectively.
Sections obtained from samples prepared for histology were deparaffinized. For KI67 and CASP3 staining, sections were steamed with EDTA at pH 9, followed by a wash with TBS. Subsequent blocking was performed with BloxAll (Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA). Afterward, sections were washed with TBS and incubated for 1 h with primary antibodies for KI67 (RM‐9106‐S1, rabbit monoclonal SP6, 1:200; Thermo Fisher Scientific) or CASP3 (9,661, rabbit polyclonal, 1:100; Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA). Afterward, sections were washed with TBS, incubated with secondary antibodies (VWRKDPVR110HRP, antirabbit; Immunologic, Amsterdam, Netherlands) and washed again with TBS. For detection, NovaRED peroxidase substrate (SK‐4805; Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA) was used. The staining process was performed directly in cell culture plates for GC monolayers and automatically by a Lab Vision Autostainer 360 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for sections of GC monolayers and gingiva ex vivo tissues. Sections without incubation with primary antibodies served as negative controls. Images were taken in 200‐fold magnification under a light microscope.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A phosphorylated human FGF23 peptide, CSQELP[pS]AE, was conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin with maleimide and the conjugate used to immunize rabbits (Covance, Denver, PA, USA). An IgG fraction was prepared using a Protein A column and used for all experiments. The specificity of this IgG preparation (final concentration, 1 μg/mL) for phosphorylated peptide was tested by preferential Western blot reaction for FGF23R176Q obtained from the conditioned medium of HEK cells cotransfected with FAM20C versus inactive kinase cDNAs, as well as by phosphopeptide ELISA, as described in Results. Immunocytochemistry was performed on paraffin-embedded sections of a decalcified mouse tibia using the Vectastain Elite ABC kit and NovaRed Peroxidase substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) in the presence or absence of phospho-FGF23 IgG (1:50 dilution). Specificity was confirmed by incubating the antibody solution with a serial tibial section in the presence of excess phosphorylated human FGF23 immunogen peptide.
