Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A modified protocol was used based on previous studies 23. In brief, NIKS cells were first collected by trypsinization and after centrifugation and washing, cells were resuspended to ∼1 × 106 cells/ml in F medium and fixed in 1.5% PFA (J61899; Alfa Aesar, Lancaster, UK) for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were then recovered by centrifugation (3000 rpm) and permeabilized in ice‐cold methanol (1 × 106 cells/500 µl) (Sigma, Haverhill, UK) at 4 °C for 10 min. Cells were subsequently washed in PBS–1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and passed gently through a 25G needle (Terumo, Leuven, Belgium) for to five times to avoid the formation of cell clumps. Cells were then incubated (1 × 106 cells/100 µl) with a mouse primary antibody to keratin 10 (Krt10) (PA5‐32459; Thermo Scientific, East Grinstead, UK) for 1 h on ice with occasional agitation. The optimal concentration of Krt10 antibody for use in these assays was determined experimentally to be 1 µg/µl. Cells were subsequently washed in PBS–1% BSA and incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti‐mouse secondary antibody (A21202; Life Technologies, Paisley, UK) diluted to 1 µg/ml for 30 min at room temperature. After extensive washing (at least three times in PBS), cells were subjected to FACS sorting using either a DxP8 (Cytek, Ely, UK) or a MoFlo MLS cell sorter (DakoCytomation, London, UK).

All animals were euthanized seven days after I/R injury by CO2 inhalation followed by cervical dislocation. Eyes were enucleated and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 2 hrs. As previously described47 (link)48 (link), retinas were immunostained for γ-synuclein, a marker for retinal ganglion cells (RGC), and the number of surviving RGC was determined. Briefly, retinas where incubated overnight with mouse anti-γ-synuclein primary antibody solution (1:400, Abnova Corporation, Walnut, CA, USA), followed by several rinses in PBS and incubation with an Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse secondary antibody (1:300, Life technologies, Grand Island, NY). After another PBS wash, retinas were whole-mounted, cover slipped and imaged. Twelve images (318 × 318 μm, 40X magnifications) were taken at predetermined mid-peripheral locations using a Nikon Eclipse i80 confocal microscope (Nikon Instruments Inc, Melville, NY). γ-synuclein positive RGC were counted in a masked fashion by an independent observer using the cell counter plugin in ImageJ software (NIH).

For ABCA1 localization experiments, thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages were plated on coverslips and incubated with Ac-LDL (120 μg ml−1) for 24 h. At the end of incubation, cells were washed with PBS and incubated with fluorescently labelled cholera toxin B (CTxB) in 0.1% BSA in PBS at 4 °C for 20 min. Cells were then fixed with 4% PFA on ice for 10 min, permeabilized with 100% pre-chilled methanol at −20 °C for 2 min, blocked with 4% goat serum in PBS for 1 h and stained with monoclonal antibody against ABCA1 (1:1000; Abcam; clone AB.H10; # ab18180) overnight. After three washes with 1 × PBS, cells were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse secondary antibody (1:250, life technologies; # A21202) for 1 h at RT and coverslips were mounted on glass slides with mounting media with DAPI (Vectashield, Vector Laboratories; # H-1200). All images were analysed using a confocal microscope (Leica SP5 II) equipped with a 63X Plan Apo Lenses. All gains for the acquisition of comparable images were maintained at a constant level. Analysis of different images was performed using ImageJ (NIH) and Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Cells were harvested by trypsinization or by shake-off in cases that involved the collection of only mitotic cells. After being washed once with PBS, samples were fixed with cold 70% ethanol. Fixed cells were washed with PBS, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton X-100 (Sigma) in PBS and incubated with the MPM2 antibody (Millipore) diluted in PBS containing 2% BSA. After being washed with PBS containing 2% BSA, cells were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse secondary antibody (Life Technologies) diluted in PBS containing 2% BSA. After the antibody incubation, cells were washed again with PBS and resuspended in PBS containing 200 μg ml−1 DNase-free RNase A (QIAGEN) and 2 μg ml−1 propidium iodide (Sigma). Samples were analysed with a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and the data were processed with the FlowJo software (Tree Star).

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.
