Axl Protein Detection in Tumor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole cell protein lysate was obtained by enhanced RIPA buffer (Beyotime). Samples were sonicated and then centrifuged at 15,000 g for 10 min at 4°C. Protein concentrations were determined by Bradford assay (Beyotime). Equal amounts of protein were fractionated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to a PVDF membrane (Millipore), and analyzed by incubation with primary rabbit anti-mouse/human Axl antibody. Proteins were detected via incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies and enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) detection system (Cell Signaling Technology).
For immunofluorescence staining, tumor cells were seeded on collagen-coated glass slides and grown to 50–60% confluence. Cells were then fixed in fresh 3% formaldehyde in PBS followed by permeabilization and blocking in Tris-buffered saline + 0.05% Tween 20 (TBST) containing 5% bovine serum albumin and 0.3% Triton X-100 at room temperature. After that, cells were stained with primary rabbit anti-mouse/human Axl antibody followed by secondary FITC-labeled goat anti-rabbit antibody. After final washes in TBST, cells were mounted in ProLong Gold anti-fade reagent (Life Technologies) and imaged on the Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope system. Acquired images were processed by ImageJ software.

The cells were washed with 1X PBS and subsequently mounted on glass slides with prolong gold. Confocal images were obtained with a 100× objective using an Olympus FV1000 Confocal microscope system (Olympus America, Center Valley, PA).

Cells were stained with an apoptotic/necrotic/health cell detection kit (PromoCell GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) containing FITC-Annexin V, Ethidium Homodimer III (EthD-III), and Hoechst 33342. In brief, cultured cells on the glass slide were washed using a binding buffer and stained with the staining solution for 15 min. Subsequently, the cells were washed twice with the binding buffer and observed under confocal microscopy (40× objective) using the Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope system (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). The observed cells were in an unfixed state.

BMMs were plated onto a glass coverslip in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and incubated overnight at 37°C. The following day, the cells were treated with TNF-α (10 ng/ml) for 1 h. At the end of the treatments, the cells were washed with PBS, fixed in PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde, and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 10 min at room temperature. Then, the cells were blocked with 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS for 1 h and incubated with primary monoclonal antibodies against acetylated p65 overnight at 4°C. After washing in PBS, the cells were further incubated with TRITC-conjugated secondary anti-mouse IgG for 1 h. The nuclei were stained with DAPI (0.5 µg/mL; Invitrogen-Molecular Probes). The cover slips were mounted and stored in the dark at 4°C. Fluorescent images were obtained from analyses using the FV-1000 confocal microscope system (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

All images of meiotic chromosomes after silver staining and immunodetection of 5-MeC and sequential FISH experiments were acquired using a Zeiss Axio Imager.Z.2 wide-field fluorescence microscope equipped with an AxioCam HRm monochromatic camera. Meiocytes embedded in polyacrylamide and embryo sections were optically sectioned using an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope system equipped with a ×60/1.35 PlanApo objective. Image stacks were acquired by traversing from the top to the bottom of a nucleus in 0.2 µm steps. Image processing, including the rendering of the Z-stacks from a series of optical sections of the meiocytes, was performed using ImageJ (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/; last accessed 10/12/2018).

Cells were grown on petri dishes and treated with HMGB1. Cells were then fixed in cold paraformaldehyde followed by extraction in 0.2% Triton X-100. Distribution of VE-cadherin was detected using rabbit anti-human VE-cadherin antibody and FITC-labeled goat anti-rabbit antibody as the secondary antibody. After subsequent washes, cells were incubated with DAPI at room temperature for 5 min. Cells were mounted in anti-photobleaching medium.

Quantifying Cortical Neuronal Distribution

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry staining images were acquired using Olympus VS120 Automated Slide Scanner. Images for quantitative analyses were acquired using Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope system. Cell counting was performed on Z-stack confocal images. Briefly, the confocal images were imported into Photoshop CC (Adobe Systems Incorporated). We divided the human dorsal and dorsal-lateral neocortex into different number of bins with equal size (250 μm length and 125 μm width in 60 μm thick sections) spanning the cortical VZ, ISVZ (inner subventricular zone), IFL (inner fiber layer) [41 (link)], OSVZ [42 (link)], IZ (intermediate zone), SP (subplate), CP (cortical plate) and MZ (marginal zone). Cortical layers were delineated by DAPI staining. Labeled cells within each bin were manually counted by using a cell-counter and switching between the red, green, and blue channels in Photoshop. Three representative images of the dorsal or dorsal-lateral neocortex from randomly sampled sections were counted at each age (GW18 and GW23).

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.
