Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Podocytes were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 min at room temperature. After rinsing twice with PBS, cells were blocked with 2% bovine serum albumen (BSA) in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Cells on coverglass were incubated with KCa1.1 (1184–1200) antibody (APC-107, Alomone Labs) at a 1:100 dilution in PBS with 2% BSA at 4°C overnight. Cells were rinsed three times with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20. Secondary antibodies were diluted in PBS with 2% BSA and cells were incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:500; Cell Signaling Technology, United States) served as the secondary antibody. After rinsing three times with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20, cells were incubated with DAPI (2 μg/ml) for 1 min. Cells were rinsed three times with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20 and cells on coverglass were mounted on microscope slides with Prolong Gold antifade reagent (Invitrogen, United States). Images were taken using a Carl Zeiss LSM710 confocal microscope and processed using Photoshop software (Adobe Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA, United States). All of the images were quantified with ImageJ software and normalized to the respective control.

Extracellular ROS Scavenging by CeNP-PEG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HK-2 cells were treated with100 μM of H2O2 for 2 h with the presence of the CeNP-PEG at different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 μg/mL) or vehicle. The effect of CeNP-PEG on extracellular ROS scavenging was investigated by DCFH-DA. Briefly, cells were loaded with CM-H2-DCFDA reagent (Invitrogen) by incubating cells with 5 μM of probe solution in PBS for 20 min at 37 °C. Then, the fluorescence microscopy was visualized using a Carl Zeiss LSM710 confocal microscope, and processed using Photoshop software (Adobe Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA, USA).

Immunostaining of Adult Fly Brains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining of whole-mount adult fly brains was performed as previously described50 (link). Dissection of adult brains was done in ice-cold PBS and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) prepared in PBS for 20 min. Brains were mounted in Fluoromount-G mounting medium (Southern Biotechnology, 0100–01). Primary antibodies used were anti-Ringer (1:750)10 (link), anti-Elav (1:500, DSHB, 9F8A9), anti-Brp (1:250, DSHB, NC82), anti-Th (1:300, Novus Biologicals, NB300-109), anti-GFP (1:500, Invitrogen, A10262), and anti-Repo51 (link). Secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa 488, 568 and 647 (Invitrogen-Molecular Probes) were used at 1:400 dilution. Confocal images of all genotypes of the brains belonging to the same experimental group were acquired using the same settings with a Zeiss LSM710 confocal microscope, and image editing was done using Adobe Photoshop software.

HK-2 cells cultured on cover slips were fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 15 min, permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100 for 10 min, and blocked in quick blocking liquid for one hour at room temperature. Then, the primary antibody for α-SMA (1:200) or Vimentin or FN (1:100) was incubated overnight at 4 °C. Next, cells were rinsed for three times with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20. Then, the secondary Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (CST, USA) was incubated at a dilution of 1:200 for one hour at room temperature. After rinsing for three times with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20, these cells were incubated with DAPI (2 mg/ml) for 1 min. Then, these cells were rinsed for three times with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20, and cells on the cover glass were mounted on microscope slides with the Prolong Gold anti-fade reagent (Invitrogen, USA).

Drosophila Ovary and Larval Tissue Staining

Adult Drosophila ovaries were dissected and stained as described in ref. 79 (link). Wandering third instar larval tissues were processed similarly to adult ovaries with one additional permeabilization step with 0.1% TritonX-100 in 1X PBS for 1 h at room temperature immediately following fixation. Primary antibodies were diluted in 5% BSA, 0.3% TritonX-100 in PBS and are listed in Supplementary Table 2. Alexa Fluor-conjugated secondary antibodies were used at a 1:500 dilution. All images were collected on a Zeiss LSM 710 Confocal Microscope, cropped and rotated using ImageJ software, size matched with Adobe Photoshop and assembled with Adobe Illustrator. The number of HP1a foci was quantified manually using ImageJ. Unless otherwise noted, all images are a single slice of a confocal stack.

Next, the sections were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. After extensive washes in PBS, the sections were incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Then, the sections were washed in PBS for 3 times and mounted with Fluoromount-G with DAPI. Nikon Eclipse TiE microscope and LSM710 confocal microscope were used to take images, which were further processed by ImageJ and/or Adobe Photoshop.

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.
