Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anterior lobes of male Wistar rats were dissected, and the cells were dispersed as described previously35 (link). Dispersed cells were counted using a haemocytometer and separated using a Universal Mouse pluriBeads kit (pluriSelect, San Diego, CA, USA) as described in our previous paper19 (link) with a monoclonal anti-rat CD9 antibody (BD Biosciences). CD9-positive and -negative cells were processed for smear preparation, qPCR, cultivation, or immunocytochemistry as described above. After immunocytochemistry, using a 40× objective lens, 10 random fields (157.5 × 210 mm rectangle) were captured per cell culture chamber well containing isolated CD9-positive cells. The populations of CD9-positive cells and CD9/S100β9/SOX2-positive cells were counted using the cellSens Dimension system (Olympus). Three individual experiments were carried out for cell counting.

For live-cell imaging, 35-mm glass-bottom dishes (MatTek Corp.) were coated with 10 µg/ml fibronectin (PHE0023; Gibco) in PBS for ≥3 h at 37°C, washed with PBS twice, and immersed in complete DMEM without phenol red (01-053-1A; Biological Industries) before seeding of cells. For labeling actin and microtubule cytoskeleton, cells were incubated with 0.2 µM SiR-Actin (CY-SC001; Cytoskeleton) and SiR-Tubulin (CY-SC002; Cytoskeleton) for 6 h, respectively.
Time-lapse images of cells with transient transfection were acquired with the Olympus CellSens Dimension system, consisting of an Olympus SpinSR10 Ixplore spinning disk confocal microscope and a Yokogawa CSU-W1 confocal scanner. Appropriate filters, heated sample environment (37°C), controlled 5% CO2, and UplanApo 100×/1.5 oil objective (Olympus Corp.) were used. The recording was set as every 10 min for 12 h, and one focal plane was recorded for all live-cell videos.

For live cell imaging, 35 mm glass-bottomed dishes (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, MA, United States) were coated with 10 μg/ml fibronectin (#F2006, Sigma Corp., St. Louis, MO, United States) in PBS for at least 3 h at 37°C, washed with PBS twice and immersed in complete DMEM medium without phenol red (#01-053-1A, Biological Industries, Kibbutz Beit-Haemek, Israel) before seeding of cells. The time-lapse images of cells with transient transfection of CAV-1-mEGFP and mCherry-actin were acquired with Olympus cellSens Dimension system, consisting of an Olympus SpinSR10 Ixplore spinning disk confocal and a Yokogawa CSU-W1 confocal scanner. Appropriate filters, heated sample environment (+37°C), controlled 5% CO2 and UplanApo 100×/1.5 Oil objective (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was used. The recording was set as every 1 s for 200 s and one focal plane was recorded for all live cell videos. For tracking and speed measurement of CAV-1 vesicles, the Imaris 9.2 (Bitplane, Zurich, Switzerland) “Track” module with globular-objects over time was used as in previous study (Jiu, 2018 (link)). Two micrometers estimated XY diameter, 5 μm max distance and 3 max gap size were set for analyzing.

BrdU Proliferation Assay of CD9-Positive Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To visualise the proliferative activities of cells, the nucleotide analogue BrdU (Merck Millipore) was added at a concentration of 3 μg/mL to the primary culture of CD9-positive cells at a density of 1.0 × 105 cells/cm2 for 24 h after adding siRNAs against Cd9 mRNA. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.025 M PB (pH 7.4) for 15 min at room temperature and were then treated with 4 M HCl in PBS for 10 min. Immunocytochemistry was performed as described above. Ten fields per well were randomly imaged using the cellSens Dimension system (Olympus) installed on a microscope (BX61, Olympus) with a 60× objective lens.

Multiplex Immunofluorescence Staining of Lung Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Staining for two groups of combination of either CD8/CD103 or CD8/PD-1 was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) lung tissue slides. FFPE slides were deparaffinized in CitriSolv for 30 min and then immersed in alcohol series from 100, 95, 85, and 75% to distill H2O for 5 min each for tissue hydration. For antigen retrieval, hydrated slides were steamed for 20 min in 1 mM EDTA. The slides were then blocked with 10% normal goat serum phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 30 min at room temperature (RT) and then were incubated with either rabbit anti-CD103 (Abcam) or rabbit anti–PD-1 (Cell Signaling) overnight at 4°C.8After rinsing in 0.1% PBST (PBS with Tween 20) solution, the slides were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488–conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary Ab (Life Technologies). After rinsing with 0.1% PBST, the slides were then incubated with Alexa Fluor 647–conjugated mouse anti- CD8 (BioLegend) for 60 min at RT. After stringent washing in 0.1% PBST, slides were aired before mounting with 4’,6-diamidino-2- phenylindole for nuclei counterstain. Tissue staining for the Ab mixture was reviewed and representative images were captured in Olympus cellSens Dimension system. Fifteen representative image fields were captured for each patient for quantification purposes.

Vimentin-GFP stable expression cells in 35 mm glass-bottom dishes (MatTek Corporation, P35G-1.5-14-C, US) in the density of 1 × 105 cells per dish, followed by infection with mCherry tagged S. Tm at MOI of 10. Cells were rinsed with PBS and replaced with DMEM containing 50 μg/ml gentamycin after 1 h of infection. Cells were placed back in the incubator for an additional 2 h before live-cell imaging. The time-lapse images were acquired with Olympus cellSens Dimension system, consisting of an Olympus SpinSR10 Ixplore spinning disk confocal and a Yokogawa CSU-W1 confocal scanner. Appropriate filters, heated sample environment (37 °C), controlled 5% CO2 and UplanApo 100×/1.5 oil objective (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) were used. The recording was set as every 36 min for 18 h and one focal plane was recorded for all live cell movies.

Detection of IL-33 and TSLP by immunohistochemistry was performed as described elsewhere with minor modifications29 (link). Twenty-four hours after the last chitin inhalation, the trachea was cannulated with a 22-G blunt needle attached to a syringe, and 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) was infused. The lungs were immediately harvested and immersed in a fixative solution consisting of 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 4 °C for 20–24 h. The tissues were then immersed in 30% sucrose in 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 4 °C for more than 2 days, embedded in Tissue Tek OCT compound (Sakura Finetek Japan, Tokyo, Japan), and rapidly frozen. Frozen frontal and horizontal sections (8-μm thickness) were prepared using a cryostat (Tissue-tek Polar DM; Sakura Finetek Japan) and mounted on slide glasses (Matsunami, Osaka, Japan). Nuclei were counterstained by incubation with Vectashield Mounting Medium containing 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Sections were scanned using a fluorescence microscope (cellSens Dimension System; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Each section was scanned at least three times.

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.
