SD rats (3 rats per group) were perfused with saline under deep isoflurane anesthesia, and epithelial tissues, including taste buds, were removed from the tongue by treatment with 1.0 mg/mL collagenase D, 2.5 mg/mL dispase II, and 1.0 mg/mL trypsin inhibitor. As negative controls, rats received 0.7 g/kg diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDTC; Sigma-Aldrich) intraperitoneally 80 min before perfusion with saline. DEDTC was used as a chelating agent for Zn2+ and other group IIB metal ions.44 (link) Subsequently, the detached epithelial tissues were treated with Tyrode’s solution (140 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM CaCl2 (link), 1 mM MgCl2 (link), 10 mM D-glucose, 10 mM HEPES, and 10 mM sodium pyruvate) containing 100 mM ZnAF-2 DA (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY, USA) and 0.04% Pluronic F-127 for 90 min at 23°C, followed by washing in Tyrode’s solution. Fluorescence images were taken using an LSM510 META confocal laser microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

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.
