Prolong gold antifade mountant containing 4 6 diamidino 2 phenylindole

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

ProLong Gold Antifade Mountant is a ready-to-use, water-based mounting medium designed for fluorescence microscopy. It contains 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), a fluorescent dye that binds to DNA, allowing for the visualization of nuclei in fixed cells or tissue samples.

Y4 was labelled with Alexa Fluor 488 dye (Life Technologies). COS-7 cells were transiently transfected with hKCNK9 or hKCNK3 and mcherry was co-transfected as a transfection control. After 36 h, cells were treated with 0.4 mg ml−1 Y4 either for 3 h at 4 °C or for 12 h at 30 °C. At the end of incubation, cells were washed with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, washed with PBS and mounted with ProLong Gold Antifade Mountant containing 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Life Technologies). Images were taken at × 63/1.4 with scan zoom 1.0. For co-localization analysis, COS-7 cells were co-transfected with red fluorescent protein-tagged EEA1 (Addgene). Images were taken at × 40/1.3 with scan zoom 1.0 and quantified using Imaris software (Bitplane). A minimum threshold of red and green channels was selected. The data represent images taken from 20 different areas (n=20).

Five micrometer human gastric tissue sections were deparaffinized and dehydrated in sequential washes of 50%, 80%, and 95% ethyl alcohol. After air drying, a hybridization cocktail containing 40% formamide, 0.1% SDS, 0.9 M NaCl, 20 mM Tris (pH 7.4), nuclease-free water, and 10 ng/μl fluorescently labeled probes (EUB338 probe: Cy3.5 5′-GCTGCCTCCCGTAGGAGT-3′ and Helicobacter-specific probe: Alexa488 5′-TCTCAGGCCGGATACCCGTCATAGCCT-3′; Eurofins) were added to the sections, and they were incubated in a humidified chamber at 37 °C overnight. The slides were washed in wash buffer containing 0.9 M NaCl and 25 mM Tris (pH 7.4) at 50 °C for 20 min. They were dipped in room temperature distilled water very briefly, dried at room temperature, and mounted with ProLong Gold Antifade Mountant containing 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Life Technologies; P36935).

Immunofluorescent Staining of ACKR3 and IL6

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were placed on glass slides, fixed in acetone at 25 °C for 5 min, and dried completely before staining. Cells were incubated overnight at 4 °C with either anti-ACKR3 (PA5-27077, Thermo Fisher Scientific) or anti-IL6 (ab6672; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies diluted 1:100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After washing 3 times with PBS, slides were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit or AlexaFluor555-conjugated donkey anti-goat (Thermo Fisher Scientific) antibodies, respectively, diluted 1:2000 in PBS, for 1 h at 25 °C. After incubation, nuclei were washed 3 times with PBS and counterstained using ProLong gold anti-fade mountant containing 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Immunofluorescence Staining of Cathepsin F and IL-6

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were placed on glass slides, fixed in acetone at room temperature (15–25 °C) for 5 min, and dried completely before staining. The cells were incubated overnight at 4 °C with an anti-cathepsin F antibody (PA5-87,925, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and anti-IL-6 antibody (ab6672, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) diluted 1:100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). To confirm the specificity of the immunostaining, fetal bovine serum diluted to the same concentration was used instead of the primary antibody as a negative control. After washing three times with PBS, the slides were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody and AlexaFluor555-conjugated donkey anti-goat antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific) diluted 1:2000 in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. After incubation, nuclei were washed three times with PBS and counterstained for the visualization of nuclei using ProLong Gold Anti-fade Mountant containing 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

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.
