Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded monkey TM sections were used for immunochemistry staining. After deparaffinizing and antigen retrieval, two antibodies were applied to the same specimen. A mouse monoclonal antibody of 8-OHdG, (sc-393871; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) was used at 1:500 dilution, and a rabbit polyclonal antibody of fibronectin (ab23751; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) was used at 1:500 dilution at 4°C overnight, respectively. Alexa-Fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse IgG and Alexa-Fluor 555 donkey anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000; Abcam) were used as secondary antibodies to detect 8-OHdG and fibronectin separately. 4′,6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole (DAPI) was used for nuclear staining. ImageJ (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/; provided in the public domain by the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) was used for fluorescence intensity analysis.

Following drying in a 60°C oven overnight, the tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated in a gradient ethanol series. For antigen retrieval, the sections were microwaved in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 20 min. The sections were then incubated in 5% bovine serum for 1 h at 37°C. A combination of two primary antibodies, rabbit polyclonal anti-SOX4 (SAB2108306; 1:100 dilution; Sigma-Aldrich Merck KGaA, St. Louis, MO, USA) and mouse monoclonal anti-p180 (ab24751; 1:50 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), was used for incubating the sections overnight at 4°C, while for negative controls PBS was used in the place of the antibody. The sections were then incubated with a mixture of two secondary antibodies, Alexa Fluor-594 donkey anti-rabbit IgG (ab150076; 1:500 dilution; Abcam) and Alexa Fluor-488 donkey anti-mouse IgG (ab150105; 1:500 dilution; Abcam) for 4 h at room temperature, followed by DAPI incubation for nuclear staining. Double immuofluoresence images were acquired using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (C1; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Spermatozoa in Hank’s buffer were attached to the wells of an eight-well glass slide (TF0808; Matsunami). After washing out excess sperm, attached spermatozoa were briefly demembranated using 1% Nonidet P-40 for 2 min. Specimens were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde/Hank’s buffer for 10 min at room temperature, followed by treatment with cold acetone and methanol (−20°C). After rehydration with PBST (phosphate buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20), specimens were treated with blocking buffer (2% normal goat serum, 1% cold fish gelatin in PBST). Immunostaining was performed with anti-acetylated tubulin antibody (1:500 dilution; T6793; Sigma-Aldrich) and anti-Dnah8 antibody (1:50 dilution; generated in this study) as primary antibodies. Alexa Fluor 488 Donkey anti-mouse IgG (1:250 dilution; ab150105; Abcam) and Alexa Fluor 555 Donkey anti-rabbit IgG (1:250 dilution; ab150074; Abcam) were used as secondary antibodies with 2.5 μg/ml DAPI (Wako) for nuclear staining. Specimens were mounted with Fluoro-KEEPER Antifade Reagent (Nacalai tesque) and observed with a fluorescence microscope (BX60; Olympus) and a CCD camera (ORCA-R2; Hamamatsu).

Immunofluorescence Staining of CD31 in HUVECs

The co-cultured HUVECs for CD31 antibody as an endothelial cells marker were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA (Sigma-Aldrich)) for 30 min at room temperature. The cells were permeabilized with 0.2% Triton-X 100 (Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min, the cells were blocked with goat serum and incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibody CD31, mouse monoclonal anti-human (Abcam, 1:200), then to determine the specificity of immunofluorescence, labeled secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor@488 donkey anti mouse IgG, at a 1:500 dilution; Abcam, USA) was added for 2 h at room temperature in the dark. For negative controls, only the secondary antibody was used. After PBS washes, the nuclei of cells were stained by 4’,6-diamidino-2- phenylindole (DAPI, Sigma) in darkness for 5 min. The images were captured by fluorescence microscopy (Olympus BX51, Japan).

Tissue block specimens used for micro-CT analysis then underwent routine histological processing and cut into 5-µm-thick sections, which were stained using Masson’s trichrome and Verhoeff-Van Gieson to compare the fascial components of the proximal and distal parts of the AC. Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) selectively labels peripheral motor axons in humans [13 (link)]. To quantify motor and sensory makeup of the pmNVM and SN, sections were incubated with the primary antibody against neurofilament 200 (NF200; mouse, diluted 1:400; Abcam) and ChAT (goat, diluted 1:100; Abcam). Antigens were observed in each section using the Abcam Alexa Fluor 488 donkey antimouse IgG and Abcam Alexa Fluor 555 donkey antigoat IgG. The ratio of ChAT-positive neurons to the cross-sectional area of each fascicle was computed in microns squared for each cross-sectional image (Image J version 1.53n, NIH, USA).

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.
