Ph 6.0 citrate buffer

Manufactured by Merck Group

The PH 6.0 citrate buffer is a laboratory solution designed to maintain a specific pH level of 6.0. It is a common buffer used in various scientific applications to control the acidity or basicity of a solution. The citrate buffer is composed of citric acid and sodium citrate, which together provide a stable pH environment. This product is intended for use in research, analytical, and quality control settings where precise pH control is required.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Mouse Xenograft Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed tumor samples derived from mouse xenografts were processed and embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections were deparaffinized and antigen retrieval was achieved by use of heat-induced epitope retrieval with pH 6.0 citrate buffer (Sigma). Tissue sections were stained with H&E, anti-ERBB2 antibody (Dako, A0485, dilution 1:200), or anti-S100A1 antibody (Dako, Z031129-2, dilution 1:00). Immunostained slides were counterstained with hematoxylin (Sigma). Images of tissue sections were captured at 10× magnification to create a merged image of the entire section using Olympus VS120 Slide Scanner.

Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol with Antigen Retrieval

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunofluorescence staining, antigen retrieval was done by water bath incubation with pH 6.0 citrate buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) at 95 oC for 35 min. Samples were quenched by incubation with 0.1% Sudan black B, diluted in 70% ethanol for 25 min. Primary antibodies were incubated at 4 oC overnight whereas Alexa Fluor (AF) conjugated secondary antibodies diluted in blocking serum were incubated at room temperature for 1 h (antibodies listed in Supplementary Table 13). Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining was performed with 5 μl ml−1 AF 647 conjugate (Invitrogen, W32466) before incubation with protein block serum-free (Dako). All sections were incubated with 300 nM DAPI stain, mounted with Vectashield Antifade mounting medium and cured for 24 h. Visualization of fluorophores was by TissueFAXS SL Q + upright epifluorescence microscope and viewed with TissueFAXS slide viewer 7.0 software. FIJI ImageJ software v1.8.0_72 was used to prepare the images for presentation.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Mouse Tumor Xenografts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed tumor samples derived from mouse xenografts were processed and embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections were deparaffinized and antigen retrieval was achieved by use of heat-induced epitope retrieval with pH 6.0 citrate buffer (Sigma). Tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), anti-TRPA1 antibody (Sigma), or anti-Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) antibody (Cell Signaling). TRPA1 antibody was validated using sections from tumors that expressed TRPA1 shRNA vectors (Figure S1G). Immunostained slides were counterstained with hematoxylin (Sigma). The score of TRPA1 staining level was based on blinded analysis of epithelial staining by veterinary pathologist R.T.B.. The score of 2+ or greater was used for χ2 test. Images of tissue sections were captured at 4× magnification to create a merged image of the entire section and at 20× magnification for quantification of cleaved caspase-3-positive nuclei, using a Olympus VS120 Slide Scanner. Images of tumor sections stained with H&E, cleaved caspase-3, 4-HNE, and 8-OHdG are representative of at least two independent experiments. Relative apoptosis was quantified by determining the percentage of cleaved caspase-3-positive cells from more than five random fields, per section, from each tumor in the group, and normalized to the shGFP-expressing tumors treated with vehicle.

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.
