In Situ Hybridization Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In situ hybridization (ISH) was performed using locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes for U6 snRNA 47 (link) and SARS-CoV-2 RNA, designed to target the sense strand of ORF1ab and Spike regions of the viral genome. Scrambled sequences were used as control. Experiments were performed using a dedicated ISH kit for Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, FFPE tissue slides were deparaffinized in xylene, treated with proteinase-K (15 μg/ml) for 5 min at 37°C and incubated with either SARS-CoV-2 (40 nM) or U6 probes (2 nM) for one hour at 54°C in a hybridizer. After washing with SSC buffer, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected using an anti-DIG alkaline phosphatase (AP) antibody (1:500) (Roche Diagnostics) supplemented with sheep serum (Jackson Immunoresearch) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Hybridization was detected by adding NBT-BCIP substrate (Roche Diagnostics). Nuclei were counterstained with nuclear fast red.

Whole-Mount Immunohistochemistry for Axon Labeling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For whole-mount immunohistochemistry, larvae were immersed overnight in 4% formaldehyde at 4 °C, washed three times at room temperature in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)/0.02% Triton X-100, pH 7.3, incubated in 2% BSA with 5% sheep serum (Cat #013–000-12, Jackson Immuno, West Grove, PA, USA) for 2 h at room temperature, and then incubated overnight with primary antibodies at 4 °C. For labeling axons, mouse anti-acetylated tubulin (1:1000, Cat #T6793, Sigma) and Alexa 647-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:500, Cat #A-21235, Molecular Probes, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were used.
All fluorescent images were taken in the 2-somite area above the end of the yolk extension using an A1Si laser-scanning confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Confocal images (1-μm z-stacking) were processed using NIS-Elements AR Analysis 4.30 software (Nikon).

The following antibodies and reagents were used: Mouse monoclonal and mouse polyclonal MIEN1 (Abnova; antibody specificity tested and proven in previous studies[15 (link), 17 (link)]), rabbit polyclonal MIEN1 (Life Technologies; antibody specificity tested in previous studies[15 (link)]), mouse monoclonal GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rabbit monoclonal pNF-κB p65 S536 and rabbit polyclonal MMP-9 (Cell Signaling Technology), mouse monoclonal VEGF and uPA (R&D Systems), mouse monoclonal Alexa Fluor 594 conjugated Phalloidin (Life Technologies), mouse monoclonal E-cadherin (BD Biosciences), Vimentin (supernatant developed in mouse and tested against human antigen, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank), anti-mouse and anti-rabbit IgG (Promega), AlexaFluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG and AlexaFluor 594 goat anti-mouse IgG (Life Technologies) sheep anti-DIG-AP antibody and NBT-BCIP ready-to-use tablets (Roche), sheep serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch), rabbit IgG, BSA, levamisole hydrochloride, Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), nuclease free water, SSC buffer, Xylene, Tween-20, Nuclear Fast Red, Hematoxylin and Eosin (Sigma-Aldrich) and Permount and PBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

In situ Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

In situ hybridization was performed using locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes for U6 snRNA (miRCURY LNA Detection probe, Qiagen, Cat. No. YD00699002) and SARS-CoV-2 RNA, designed to target the sense strand of ORF1ab and Spike regions of the viral genome. A scrambled sequence probe (YD00699004) was used as a control.
Experiments were performed using a dedicated ISH (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, air-dried frozen tissue sections were incubated with either SARS-CoV-2 (40 nM) or U6 probes (2 nM) for 1 h at 54°C in a hybridizer. After washing with SSC buffer, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected using an anti-DIG alkaline phosphatase (AP) antibody (1:500) (Roche Diagnostics) supplemented with sheep serum (Jackson Immunoresearch) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Hybridization was detected by adding NBT-BCIP substrate (Roche Diagnostics). Nuclei were counterstained with nuclear fast red. Images were acquired using a Leica ICC50W light microscope.

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.
