Immunohistochemistry microscopy of cryosections: Confocal laser scanning microscopy was performed using a LSM-700 system (Zeiss) with a Plan-Apochromat 20x NA 0.8, an EC Plan-Neofluar 40x NA1.30 Oil DIC Plan-Apochromat, or a Plan-Apochromat 63x NA 1.40 oil DIC. Z-stacks were selected to cover the entire section and taken in software (ZEN) suggested optimal size steps.

Confocal Imaging of Lymphatic Vessels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Confocal images of lymphatic vessels of the ear skin, the popliteal lymphatic vessels or mesenteric lymphatic vessels were acquired using a Zeiss LSM 700 system (Carl Zeiss) with a 20×/0.8 objective or a Leica SP8 laser confocal microscope system (Leica Microsystems) with either of 25×/1.0, 25×/0.95, 20×/0.75 or 10×/0.3 objectives. The images represent maximum intensity projections of z stacks that, in the case of overviews, were stitched from multiple tile scan images, either manually using Adobe Photoshop (Adobe) or automatically by the Leica LAF software. Images were processed with FIJI (Schindelin et al., 2012 (link)) or Adobe Photoshop software (Adobe). Intensity Adjustments in Fig. 5E′ were applied specifically to the vessel area (dashed line) in order to enhance the visibility of perivascular SMCs. Tiled epi-fluorescence images showing the entire capillary network were acquired using an Axio Observer Z1 system (Carl Zeiss) with a 5×/0.13 objective and images were automatically aligned by Zen blue 2012 software (Carl Zeiss).

Bone marrow-derived DCs were plated on glass coverslips and fixed by incubation for 15 min on ice in 3.7% w/v paraformaldehyde followed by quenching for 10 min with 50 mM NH4Cl in PBS. The cells were incubated for 1 h with specific primary antibodies in permeabilization buffer (PBS with 1 mg/mL BSA and 0.05% w/v saponin (Sigma-Aldrich)), washed twice, and incubated for another hour with the fluorescently labelled secondary antibody in permeabilization buffer. Lastly, the cells were mounted on slides in Prolong Gold antifade reagent in the presence of DAPI (Invitrogen Carlsbad, CA). Confocal microscopy was performed with a Zeiss LSM 700 system (Carl Zeiss) and a 63x NA1.4 objective. Images were processed with the Zeiss LSM Image Browser (Carl Zeiss) and ImageJ software (version 1.43).

Biofilm Formation on Glass Coverslips

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacteria were cultured as described for the bead biofilm system, but instead of inoculating into bead-containing tubes, cultures were diluted into 1 ml M9 citrate in uncoated polystyrene 24-well plates. Each well contained one sterile 10-mm-diameter glass coverslip. Biofilms were grown in 37°C with 200 rpm shaking for 24 h. The glass coverslips were removed with forceps, gently washed three times in 10 ml PBS, and immediately mounted on a glass slide for confocal microscopy with a Zeiss LSM 700 system. Images were acquired and analyzed using Zeiss’s Zen software.

TRAIL-Induced Apoptosis Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GC cells were treated with the different concentrations of TRAIL for 24 h. Then a TUNEL Detection Kit (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) was used to determine cell apoptosis, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cell confocal images were acquired with a Zeiss LSM700 system (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany). Percentages of apoptotic cells are shown from at least 1000 cells, and data were obtained from three independent experiments.

Fresh frozen sections were permeabilized and blocked in a humidified chamber for 1 h at room temperature with 3% horse serum in PBS with 0.3% Triton X-100. The slides were exposed for 2 h to primary antibodies diluted in the same solution. Anti-Sox-9 (1:100, Rb Cell Signaling 82630) was used to mark Müller cells. Slides were washed three times with PBS. Secondary antisera (Alexa-Fluor 488 and 647) diluted 1:10,000 in the serum solution were added for 1 h at room temperature followed by two washes with PBS. Labeling for 30 min at room temperature (Apply Click-iT Invitrogen Alexa Fluor 555 C10338) was followed by a wash with PBS. After incubation with DAPI (1:10,000 in PBS) for 5 min and the application of mounting solution, sections were imaged by confocal microscopy with a Zeiss LSM 700 system with a ×20/0.8 NA objective lens with a pinhole size set at the first Airy disc.

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.
