Dapi dye

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

DAPI (4',6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole) is a fluorescent dye commonly used in biological research. It binds strongly to DNA, emitting a blue fluorescence when excited by ultraviolet light. DAPI is a popular stain for visualizing and quantifying DNA in various applications, such as cell nuclei and chromosome counting.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three samples at PN5 were included, and at least three slices with good morphology from each sample were selected for immunofluorescence analysis. The procedures before primary antibody incubation were the same as the methods of immunohistochemistry mentioned above. The slices were incubated overnight (15 h) with diluted KLF6 mouse monoclonal antibodies (1:50, Santa Cruz, # sc-7158) and then treated with FITC conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Boster, #BA1101). Subsequently, the slices were treated with goat serum, following which the slices were incubated overnight (15 h) with diluted P21 rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:100, Proteintech, # 28248-1-AP). Wash four times with PBS. The slices were treated with Cy3 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Boster, #BA1032) in an immunohistochemical wet box. All the slices were counterstained with DAPI dye (Beyotime, #C1006)) for 5 min away from light. A Leica SP8 confocal laser scanning microscope was used to observe the fluorescence intensity. All slices were prepared under the same conditions and time to ensure homogeneity between samples. Images were taken under identical gain and offset values, with the same intensity of excitation wavelength and exposure time.

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

Sporidiobolus pararoseus JD-2 was obtained from the School of Biotechnology of Jiangnan University (China). Torularhodin was isolated and purified from the S. pararoseus extract according to a previously published method [25 (link)]. Its purity was greater than 95%, as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection at 450 nm. Torularhodin was stored at -80°C; it was first dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and then in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) before use.
DMEM and fetal bovine serum (FBS) were from Gibco BRL (Grand Island, NY, USA). The DAPI dye and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) were from Beyotime Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China). The TRIzol Reagent was from Ambion (Kusatsu, Japan).

Immunofluorescence assay was performed in P19 cells with 1.0% DMSO treatment at 10 days. P19 cells were washed with PBS (Gibco) and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Beyotime) for 15 min. Then, cells were permeated with 0.5% Triton X‐100 (Beyotime) for 20 min. The myosin heavy chain‐specific MF20 antibody (1:50, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank) was incubated for 2 h and the goat anti‐mouse secondary antibody labelled with red fluorescent was incubated for 1 h. Finally, the nucleus was labelled with DAPI dye (Beyotime). MF20 positive cells were observed by a fluorescence microscope (Nikon).

A549 and CEF cells in 96-well-plates were incubated with 64 HA units of wild type (WT) or mutant viruses at 4 ​°C for 1 ​h. Then, cells were washed thrice in cold PBS and fixed for 1 ​h in 4% paraformaldehyde. The washing step with cold PBS was repeated thrice to prepare cells for the incubation with the corresponding chicken antiserum at a 1:500 dilution (1 ​h at 4 ​°C). The washing step with cold PBS was again repeated thrice, and cells were incubated for 1 ​h at 4 ​°C before adding a 1:1000 dilution of the secondary antibody (anti-chicken IgG conjugated with FITC; Life Technologies, USA). Cells were again washed thrice with cold PBS, and the nuclei were stained with DAPI dye (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) for 10 ​min at 37 ​°C, and observed under a fluorescence microscope (Nikon). The preparation of tissue sections has been described detailedly in our previous research article (Liu et al., 2022 (link)). The following steps were similar with the procedure described in virus binding to cells.

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.
