Quantifying Neural Stem Cell Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To monitor NSC proliferation, we analyzed NSCs by immunostaining of mouse anti–Ki-67 antibody (BD Pharmingen) and Click-IT EdU detection (Invitrogen) after 4 h exposure to EdU, and co-stained with rabbit anti-Sox2 antibody (EMD Millipore) or DAPI (Sigma) to count all cells. Cell images were obtained on AF6000 (Leica) and BZ-X (Keyence). Cell counting was performed using the ImageJ software for images captured on the AF6000, and Hybrid cell count (Keyence), an algorithm for cell counting, for images captured on the BZ-X. Six to eight images were collected under each condition. Inhibitors used for cell culture were obtained from the indicated suppliers: bafilomycin A1 (Sigma), SAR405 (Cayman Chemical), Dynasore (Adipogen), thapsigargin (Adipogen), nocodazole (Adipogen), DAPT (Calbiochem), AG1478 (Cell Signaling Technology), Torin-1 (Cayman Chemical), and rapamycin (Wako). To measure protein stability, cells were incubated with 10 µg/ml cycloheximide (Sigma) to block protein synthesis.

Confluent fibroblasts were infected with 0.5 MOI of WT virus and were treated with DMSO, 5μM AG1478 (Caymen Chemical), or 20μM LY294002 (Cell Signaling) at 18 hpi. Virus present in cells and media were quantified by the TCID50 as described previously [10 (link)]. An infectious centers assay was used to quantitate infectious centers produced by CD34+ HPCs, as described previously [75 (link)]. CD34+ HPCs were treated with 10 μM AG1478, 10μM Gefitinib (Cell Signaling), 20 μM LY294002 or DMSO for vehicle control.

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.
