Sodium (meta)arsenite (NaAsO2) and sodium arsenic (V) oxide (As2O5 were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (S7400 and 483257, respectively). For arsenite (As[III]) use, a 1 M stock solution was prepared in water and stored at RT. For arsenic (V) oxide (As[V]) use, a 218 mM stock solution was prepared in water and stored at RT. Staurosporine was purchased from Sigma (S5921), dissolved in DMSO and stored at –20°C as a 1 mM stock solution. RNAse A was purchased from Thermo Scientific™ (EN0531). RNAse V1 was purchased from Thermo Scientific™ (AM2275) and stored at –20°C in storage buffer (10 mM Tris Succinate, pH 7.5, 0.2 M KCl and 50% glycerol, v/v). The following antibodies were used: anti-TIA-1 (Abcam, ab40693, rabbit, 1:500), anti-G3BP1 (Abcam, ab56574, mouse, 1:1000), anti-cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (Cell Signaling, 5A1E, rabbit, 1:500), anti-γ-H2AX(p-S139) (Upstate BioTech JBW301, mouse, 1:1000). Of note, ab40693 has been discontinued by Abcam after internal validation on TIA-1 knock-out cells (contact Abcam for further information).

Immunostaining of Stress Granule Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were grown on coverslips, washed with PBS and fixed for 20 min in 4% PFA. Cells were then permeabilized in 0.5% Triton X-100 for 3 min. After blocking, cells were immunostained for 1 h with a primary antibody, and after subsequent washes the cells were incubated for 1 h with fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies. Primary antibodies: goat anti-TIA-1 (Abcam, ab40693; 1:200), rabbit anti-eIF4B (Abcam, ab68474; 1:200), mouse anti-G3BP1 (Abcam, ab56574; 1:200), rabbit anti-G3BP2 (Abcam, ab86135; 1:1000), rabbit anti-α-tubulin (Abcam, ab4074; 1:400). Secondary antibodies: Alexa Fluor 488-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG and anti-rabbit IgG, Alexa Fluor 594-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG and anti-rabbit IgG (all from Abcam; 1:1000) and Alexa Fluor 647-labeled donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Life Technology; 1:1200). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (Sigma), and coverslips were mounted in mounting medium (made in house).

Immunogold Labeling of Tau Aggregates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mixtures of tau aggregates were prepared using the ThioT aggregation assay described above. 48 h reaction mixtures with or without TIA1 were adsorbed for 2 min onto formvar/carbon-coated Nickel mesh grids, washed 2x with distilled water (dH20), treated with 2% uranyl acetate, washed 4x with dH20 and imaged at 80 kV using a JEOL JEM 1011 with a digital camera (Gatan). For double immuno-gold labeling, grids were rinsed 4x in TBS, blocked for 30 min in block buffer (1% BSA/TBS supplemented with 2.5 μg/ml gelatin, 2% BSAc), and incubated for 2 h in rabbit anti-TIA1 (1:500, Abcam cat#ab40693) and mouse anti-tau (Tau13 or TOC1, 1:1,000) antibodies diluted in block buffer. After 2 h, the grids were washed 4x in TBS prior to incubation for 1 h in 15 nm (anti-rabbit) and 6 nm (anti-mouse) gold particle-conjugated secondary antibodies diluted 1:50 in block buffer. After 1 h, the grids were washed 4x in TBS, then 2x with dH2O prior to treatment with 2% uranyl acetate. Grids were then washed a final 4x in dH2O and imaged as described above.

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.
