Dissociated SCG neurons were microinjected using a Zeiss Axiovert S100 microscope with an Eppendorf FemtoJet microinjector and Eppendorf TransferMan® micromanipulator. Plasmids were diluted in 0.5× PBS (without CaCl2 and MgCl2) and filtered using a Spin-X filter (Costar). The mix was injected directly into the nuclei of SCG neurons using Eppendorf Femtotips. Approximately 100 neurons were injected per dish. Injected plasmids were allowed to express for 16 h before CCCP treatment. Plasmids were injected at the following concentrations: 30 ng/μl NMNAT2-EGFP, 30 ng/μl pDsRed2-N1. Time-lapse imaging of axonal transport was performed on an Olympus IX70 imaging system with 100×/1.35 Oil objective. During imaging, cell cultures were maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in an environment chamber. Images were captured at 4 frames per sec for 2 min. Three neurites per condition were imaged in every individual experiment.

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.
