NETs were stained as previously described5 . Briefly, after blocking and permeabilization, neutrophils were incubated with a mouse monoclonal antibody (IgG2a) against DNA/Histone 1 (MAB3864; Millipore 0.55 mg/ml, diluted 1:1000) for 1 h at room temperature.

Mice were anesthetized and killed, and inner-ear tissues were then removed. The cochleae were further dissected and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Immunofluorescence staining with antibodies against CAV2 (mouse IgG; BD) and Prestin (goat IgG; Santa Cruz) along with DAPI (Vector Laboratories) was performed on whole-mount preparations of the carefully resected organ of Corti or cochlear cryosections (7 μm). We incubated the tissues in the antibody solutions for 1 h at room temperature after blocking with 2% bovine serum albumin in phosphate-buffered saline. Fluorescence confocal images were obtained with a LSM510-META confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss). CAV2 was labeled with Alexa 488 (mouse IgG; Life Technologies) and observed by confocal laser microscopy using a 488-nm laser. Prestin was labeled with Alexa 633 (mouse IgG; Life Technologies) and observed by confocal microscopy using a 633-nm laser. Some of the red signals in the figures reflect the pseudo-color of the Alexa 488 signal.

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.
