Wright giemsa staining solution

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Wright-Giemsa staining solution is a laboratory reagent used for the differential staining of blood cells and other cellular components. It is a combination of the Wright stain and the Giemsa stain, which are commonly used in hematology and cytology. The solution provides a standardized method for staining and visualizing cellular structures, enabling the identification and analysis of various cell types.

EML Cell Differentiation and Wright-Giemsa Staining

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood progenitor EML cells (ATCC CRL-11691) were cultured and maintained as described previously [26 (link)]. Multipotent EML cell population was stimulated with either EPO (to differentiate into erythroid cells), GM-CSF/IL-3 and ATRA (to obtain myeloid cells), or a mixture of all cytokines for the “combined” treatment as previously reported [4 (link),26 (link)]. Wright-Giemsa staining was performed with some modification following a reported protocol [27 (link)]. In brief, 60,000 cells in 250 μl of PBS + 1% FBS buffer were cytospun at 350 rpm for 5 min per slide and allowed to air dry for 10 min. Slides were subjected to five 1-second dips in methanol, followed by Wright-Giemsa staining solution (0.4% [w/v], Sigma). After a final rinse with water, slides were allowed to air dry for 30 min. Colored phase contrast images were obtained using a Zeiss Axiovert 200M microscope.

Proliferating or differentiating K562 cells were attached to slides using TXT3 cytospin (Nasco Korea) at 900 × g for 5 min and stained with Wright-Giemsa staining solution (Sigma, 45253 and 32884). Cell morphology, including cell size and polynucleation, was analyzed by microscopy and ImageJ software. At least 290 cells in randomly separated fields were counted and expressed as relative cell size or percentage of the total cell number in these fields.

Isolation and Characterization of Erythroid Progenitor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The differentiated cells from a coculture system were harvested by manual picking and treating with 2 mg/ml Collagenase IV incubation for 30 minutes, and then with 0.25% Trypsin‐EDTA (Life Technologies) for 20 minutes. The single cells were counted and seeded at 1–2 × 105 cell/ml into Methocult H4434 medium (StemCell Technologies) specified for CFC assay according to the manufacturer's protocol. The cells were maintained at 37°C, 5% CO2 and the pattern of colony forming units (CFUs) was examined at day 12–13. At day 16, burst‐forming unit erythroid colonies were identified and picked for CD235a (Glycophorin A [GPA]) positive cell selection by the MACS (Miltenyi Biotech, San Diego, CA, http://www.miltenyibiotec.com) according to the manufacturer protocols. The purified CD235a positive cells were used for determining hemoglobin chain expression pattern. The cell morphology was evaluated by being spun onto a glass slide using cytocentrifugation (Shandon Cytospin 4; Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, http://www.thermoscientific.com) at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes and stained with Wright‐Giemsa staining solution (Sigma‐Aldrich).

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.
