Tissue Histology Analysis in Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The tumor, liver, lung, and bone marrow tissues were taken in the same way as above from each group of rats (n=10) on days 0 and 7 to monitor the morphologic change. The tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology Co. Ltd, Shanghai, China). Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining was performed according to the common method. Briefly, the samples were dehydrated in a graded series of ethanol solutions, cleared in xylene, embedded in paraffin, cut into sections, stained with H&E, and finally observed under a microscope (BX51, Olympus, Japan).

Immunofluorescence Assay for Cell Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence assays were performed as follows: cells (1 × 105 cells/well) were seeded into 12-well plates with a round coverslip (Biosharp) and cultured for 12–24 h. The cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (YuanYe Bio-Technology) for 20 min at room temperature and then permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 (Solarbio) for 15 min at room temperature. Nonspecific antibody binding was blocked by washing the cells with 5% normal goat working serum (Solarbio) for 1 h at room temperature, and the cells were incubated with NKX2.5 antibody (1:200, Abcam), GATA4 antibody (1:100, Proteintech), β-catenin (1:500, Proteintech), and cTnT antibody (1:500, Abcam) overnight at 4 ℃. The secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor 568, Invitrogen) was incubated with the cells at room temperature for 1.5–2 h, and DAPI (1:5000, Beyotime Biotechnology) was added for 10 min to stain the nucleus. Images were acquired using a fluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss).

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.
