106 T-cells in 400 µl of XFSFM were treated with anti-CD3-targeted NPs containing 3 µg cy5-labeled eGFP mRNA for 1 h at 4 °C for surface binding, followed by a 2-h incubation at 37 °C for internalization. Following these treatments, the cells were washed 3 times with cold PBS, and loaded onto poly-l-lysine (Sigma)-coated slides for 30 min at 4 °C. The samples were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde, mounted in ProLong Gold Antifade reagent (Invitrogen), and imaged with a Zeiss LSM 780 NLO laser scanning confocal microscope.

Ethanol-induced GFP-ATG8e fluorescence and MDC staining in Arabidopsis leaves and roots

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GFP fluorescence in detached 4-week-old rosette leaves of GFP-ATG8e [44 (link)] was observed following treatment with 100 mM ethanol for 6 h; water treatment was used as a control (Mock). An LSM 780 NLO laser-scanning confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany) was used to observe the signals from GFP-ATG8e fusion protein. GFP fluorescence was detected at 488 nm filtered through a primary dichroic filter (UV/488/543).
MDC staining was carried out as described previously [29 (link)]. Briefly, 7-day-old seedlings were treated with or without light submergence (LS) in a 15-mL centrifuge tube containing 10 mL of sterile water for the indicated time and submersed in PBS buffer (135 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 2 mM NaH2PO4 [pH 7.4]) plus 0.05 mM monodansylcadaverine (MDC, Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min. Following two rinses with PBS buffer, MDC-stained mature root cells were observed and photographed under an Axio Observer Z1 Inverted microscope (Carl Zeiss) using the 405 nm laser line.

The stable transgenic lines expressing a GFP-ATG8e fusion and MDC staining were used to monitor autophagosome formation.35 (link) Seven-d-old GFP-ATG8e seedlings grown in culture vessels (7 × 10 cm) were submerged with sterilized water with or without 0.5 µM Concanamycin A (Sigma, C9705). Primary root cells were observed using an LSM 780 NLO laser scanning confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany) with a 40× oil immersion objective lens. GFP fluorescence were excited by a wavelength of 488 nm and detected at 493 to 558 nm.
For MDC staining, 7-d-old seedlings were not treated or submergence-treated for 24 h and subsequently immersed in phosphate-buffered saline (135 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 2 mM NaH2PO4 pH 7.4) plus 0.05 mM monodansylcadaverine (MDC; Sigma, D4008) for 10 min. After 2 washes with phosphate-buffered saline, the root cells were observed using an Axio Observer Z1 Inverted microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany) with a 4',6-diamino-phenylindole–specific filter.

To analyze the percentage and distribution of TAMRA+ cells in human gliomas, 1 million freshly isolated cells were incubated in 1 mL DMEM premixed with 0.5 μg TAMRA-labeled AluDNA for 1 hour at room temperature in the dark. The cells were spun down by brief centrifugation, washed once with the medium, and resuspended in the final volume of 200 μL DMEM. Cell suspensions were layered onto the glass slides using cytospin apparatus (1000 rpm, 1 minutes) and mounted in a droplet of ∼10 μL antifade (DABCO) +0.5 μg/mL DAPI. The slides were covered with coverslips and analyzed under fluorescent microscope AxioVision (Zeiss, Germany) using ISIS V. 5.4.9 (MetaSystems) software for imaging or under LSM 780 NLO confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss, Germany) and ZEN 2010 B SP1 software.

The cellular uptake of different DOX-loaded nanoparticles was examined by confocal laser microscopy and flow cytometry. Before confocal laser microscopy imaging or flow cytometry analysis, RAW-264.7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were grown on glass coverslips in 24-well plates (or cultured in 6-well culture plates for flow cytometry analysis) overnight. Then the cells were incubated with free DOX, DOX/MSNs, RM-(DOX/MSNs) or iRGD-RM-(DOX/MSNs) at an equivalent DOX concentration of 10 μg/mL for 0.5 hours or 1 hour. For confocal laser microscopy imaging, the cells were fixed with immunostaining fixative for 15 min, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 min, incubated with phalloidin-F488 for 30 min and then counterstained with DAPI for 5 min at 25 °C. Images were taken with an LSM780NLO confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss, Germany). For flow cytometry analysis, the cells were collected after the administration of each treatment, centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 5 min, and washed three times with PBS (pH 7.4). After that, cells were suspended in 300 μL of PBS and analyzed by flow cytometry (Accuri C6, BD, American). For the blocking test, cells were preincubated with free iRGD for 30 min, after which the iRGD was removed, and the cells were incubated with iRGD-RM-(DOX/MSNs).

Microtubule dynamics were analyzed by high-frequency time-lapse imaging of seedlings of icr2-2×UBQ10::RFP-MBD×ICR2-3×YPet at 8 DAG. Seedlings were grown on CellView 35/10 mm glass-bottomed cell culture dishes (Greiner, 627860) at a 45° angle, so that roots grew along the glass bottom between the growth medium and the glass. Imaging of root hairs was done by taking a z-stack of ten focal planes at 5-min intervals, for a total of 30 frames, using an LSM 780-NLO confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss) with a 63× water immersion objective. Images were de-noised using ND-Safir software (Boulanger et al., 2010 (link)).

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.
