The third-passage cells were seeded at a density of 1 × 104/ml in a confocal dish (Nest). After the cells were completely attached on the next day, they were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma) for 30 min at room temperature. Then the cells were incubated for 45 min at 4°C in the dark with phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated anti-human CD29 monoclonal antibody (clone: TS2/16, BioLegend BD, ref. 303003; Table S1) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated anti-sheep CD44 antibody (clone: 25.32, AbD Serotec, ref. MCA2219F; Table S1). The corresponding isotype control IgG was simultaneously incubated as a negative control (Table S1). Finally, the cells were counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; 1 μg/ml; Solarbio) for 15 min. The fluorescently labeled cells were visualized and photographed using an inverted fluorescence microscope (Nikon Ti-S).

DF-1 cells in a confocal dish (Nest, China) were transfected with indicated plasmids (4 μg) for 24 h. The cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and penetrated with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 5 min at room temperature. The fixed cells were subsequently incubated with rabbit anti-Myc polyclonal antibodies for 2 h at room temperature. Next, the cells were stained with FITC-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG for another 1 h at 37°C. The nucleus was then stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) (Roche, 10236276001). Fluorescence signals were scanned using an Olympus laser scanning confocal microscopy (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

Naïve T cells and activated T cells which stimulated with anti‐CD3 and anti‐CD28 antibodies for 72 h were seeded in 24‐well plates. T cells were then incubated with MVs‐NPs, IFN‐γ‐MVs‐NPs, or FIRN labeled with Dil. After 1 h, 3 h, and 6 h of incubation, cells were collected and washed three times with cold PBS to remove free Dil. Cells were then stained with 4',6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI) for 5 min. The cell sediment was suspended in 500 µL agarose gel (1%, W/V) and subsequently seeded in confocal dish (NEST). Images were obtained by laser scanning confocal microscope (Olympus FluoView FV 1000, USA).

Visualizing Actin Cytoskeleton Dynamics with LIPUS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
F-actin cytoskeletal staining was performed using the fluorescent dye Actin-Tracker Green (Beyotime, China). HUVECs were seeded on confocal dish (NEST, China) at a density of 2 × 104 cells/well. Subsequently, BTO nanoparticles were added for incubation, during which LIPUS treatment (1 min) was performed twice. After culturing for 48 h, the cells were washed with PBS, and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Biosharp, China) for 10 min. After washed with PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 (Sigma Aldrich, USA), the samples were sequentially stained with Actin-Tracker Green (1:200 in PBS solution, 1 h) solution and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (3min; DAPI, Beyotime, China) solution for F-actin cytoskeleton and cell nucleus visualization respectively. Then the stained samples were observed by a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM, TCS SP8, Leica, Germany).

HUVECs were seeded on a confocal dish (NEST, China) at a density of 2 × 104 cells/well and incubated for 12 h at 37 °C. Then, the medium was replaced with fresh ECM containing fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled U-BTO/P-BTO, after which cells were cultured for 0, 3, and 6 h, respectively. The cells were stained with Actin-Tracker Red (30 min, Beyotime, China) and DAPI (3min) at 37 °C in the dark. Fluorescent images were captured using CLSM.

For immunofluorescence analysis, monolayers of cells were grown on a confocal dish (NEST, Guangzhou, China). The cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes and permeabilized with PBS containing .5% TritonX‐100. Blocking was performed with 5% BSA, and the cells were subsequently incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody (1:100, ab76149, abcam). FITC‐conjugated rabbit anti‐goat IgG (1:500, ab150079, abcam) was used as the secondary antibody. The cell nuclei were counterstained with 10 μg/mL 4′,6‑Diamidino‑2‑phenylindole (DAPI) solution (C0065, Solarbio, Beijing, China). Images were obtained and analyzed using a confocal microscope (TCS‐SP8, Leica, Wetzlar, Germany).

Quantitative Biofilm Analysis Protocol

We diluted the obtained fresh bacteria liquid 100-fold with TSBG (TSB with 0.25% glucose) and the diluted bacteria were added in a confocal dish (diameter 15 ​mm, Nest) mixed with GNCs-CBM hydrogel. After incubation at 37 ​°C for 24 ​h, biofilm formation was determined by crystal violet staining. After discarding the medium, PBS was slightly added to wash away the planktonic bacteria. Biofilms were dried for 20min in the air after being fixed in methanol. Then, the biofilms were stained with 0.5% crystal violet. The stain dye was removed after 20 ​min and each dish was washed twice with PBS. The stained biofilms were re-solubilized in 33% ethanoic acid and measured at OD550 using the microplate reader.

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.
