Detecting Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis via TUNEL

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TUNEL staining was performed as previously described (22 (link)). In brief, 7-μm frozen left ventricular sections were obtained using a Leica, cryomicrotome (Model CM3050S, Leica Microsystems, Buffalo Grove, IL, USA). Sections were stained with an in situ terminal dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining kit (11684795910, Roche Diagnostics Corporation, USA) to detect apoptotic cells according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cardiomyocytes were further stained with a Desmin antibody (#4042, Cell Signaling Technology, USA). Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Following coverslip embedding, the sections were imaged through an inverted laser-scanning confocal microscope at ×100 magnification (Zeiss 710, Thornwood, NY, USA). The percentage of TUNEL positive nuclei was quantified using an ImageJ software (30 (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.
