SEM Analysis of MEF-ECM Morphology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The morphology of MEF-ECM was observed by the
method previously described with minor modifications (15 (link)). The specimens were fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde
(MP Biomedicals, Irvine, CA, USA) for 30 minutes at
4˚C. After that, all samples were dehydrated with 60, 70,
80, 90 and 100% absolute ethanol for 20 minutes each
time and air dried. The dried samples were fixed on the
sample stage of the SEM using conductive adhesive and
subsequently sputter-coated in gold for 90 s. Imaging was
obtained by using a SEM (S-520; Hitachi, Japan) with a
voltage of 10-15 kV.

Visualizing LKB1 Localization in HeLa Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells (LKB1-null) were co-transfected with either pEGFP-C1 control or our panel of LKB1 constructs and Flag-STRADα using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), per manufacturer’s protocol. 24 hours later, cells were fixed using Phemo buffer with a final concentration of: 3.7% paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA), 0.05% glutaraldehyde (MP Biomedicals, Santa Ana, CA), and 0.5% Triton-X (Promega, Madison, WI) for 10 minutes at room temperature. Fixed cells were rinsed with PBS and stained with Alexa Fluor® 555 Phalloidin (1:200 in PBS) for 1 hour, rinsed three times with PBS, and stained with 350 nM DAPI for 10 minutes followed by three more PBS washes. Coverslips were then mounted with ProLong® Diamond Antifade Mountant. Fixed cells were imaged using a Leica SP8 inverted confocal microscope at 63x (HP PL APO 1.40 NA oil) using a 488 and 514 nm argon laser.

Ultrastructural Analysis of Embryonic Epidermis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Embryos were processed for EM at the VCU microscopy core using standard protocols. Briefly, embryos were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde (MP Biomedicals, 198595) in 0.1M sodiμm cacodylate buffer (Electron Microscopy Services, 12300) overnight (4°C) and then refixed in 2% osmiμm tetroxide in 0.1M cacodylate buffer (one hour). They were dehydrated in ethanol and then infiltrated with propylene oxide (EMS, 20401) and Poly/Bed 812 resin mix (50:50, Polyscienes, 08792–1) overnight. Finally, embryos were incubated in EMbed 812 resin (EMS, 14120, overnight), placed in molds and heated 60°C (2 days). 700–900Å thick sections were created on a Leica EM UC6i Ultramicrotome (Leica Microsystems) and stained with 5% Uranyl acetate (EMS, 22400) and Reynold’s Lead Citrate (Lead Nitrate (EMS, 17900) and Sodium Citrate (EMS, 21140)). A JEOL JEM-1230 TEM (JEOL USA, Inc.) with the Gatan Orius SC1000 digital camera (Gatan Inc., Pleasanton, CA) was used to image the ultrastructure of the epidermis.

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.
