Jasplakinolide

Manufactured by Hello Bio

Jasplakinolide is a natural product isolated from the marine sponge Jaspis johnstoni. It is a cyclic peptide that acts as an actin-stabilizing compound. Jasplakinolide binds to actin filaments, preventing their depolymerization and leading to the stabilization of the actin cytoskeleton.

Neuronal Transfection and Live Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transfection was carried out on DIV 12-13 using lipofectamine STEM reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific; STEM00001) according to the manufacturer's guide. The following plasmid constructs were used: pmCherry-N1 (Clontech), pEGFP-N1 (Clontech), pEGFP-actin (Clontech), AC-TagGFP2 (AC-GFP; Chromotek), and LifeAct-TagGFP2 (Clontech). Each GFP-conjugated protein was coexpressed with mCherry to highlight neuronal morphology. After transfection (24 h), cells were either fixed or used for live cell imaging. Jasplakinolide (HelloBio; #HB3946) was used in a final concentration of 5 μM on glass-bottom Petri dishes mounted for live cell imaging, 7-15 min before imaging, and was present throughout the imaging session.

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.
