Histological Evaluation of Skin Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Skin was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and processed for paraffin embedment. Tissue sections (5 μm) were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for histology evaluation. The stained sections were photographed using a Nikon Eclipse 80i microscope, and analysed with NIS‐Elements AR 2.10 imaging software.

106 cells were incubated with 9 μg/mL 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) (Sigma) for 48 hours, followed by 0.1 μg/ml colcemid (Thermo Fischer Scientific) treatment for 40 min before standard metaphase chromosome harvest69 . Images were acquired by Nikon eclipse 80i / NIS Elements D4.20.00. For each cell line, 50 metaphases were analyzed to determine the SCE frequency.

Quantifying Neuronal Markers in Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues stained for thionin, SMI-32, DCX, Calb, Calr, Parv, APP/Aβ (6E10), Aβ1–42, CP13, and PHF-1 were imaged using a Nikon Eclipse 80i and analyzed using NIS-Elements BR software. All cell density counts were performed in 10 different areas on each slide at 400 × magnification within SG layers II-III and IG layers V-VI, except for Calb which was counted at 200 × magnification (due to the low density of positive cells) and an average cell count was calculated for each layer per case. Additionally, all counts were normalized against thionin-stained cell numbers. APP/Aβ plaque number and load were examined at 100 × magnification and plaque load was calculated as a percentage of the area immunostained versus the area examined of 1.02 mm2 using NIS-Elements BR software. Counts were performed by an investigator blind to case demographics.

Microtubule Dynamics in HeLa Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells were transfected with NuMA or GADPH siRNA (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) in oligofectamine for 72 h. Taccalonolide A was added to for 4 h after which cells were immediately fixed and microtubules visualized by indirect immunofluorescence for β-tubulin with a Nikon Eclipse 80i fluorescence microscope and NIS Elements software as previously described [29 (link)]. The distribution of cells in interphase, in mitosis with cortically localized tubulin, and in mitosis with asters were determined. A minimum of 800 cells were evaluated for each treatment condition.

Fluorescence Microscopy of Bacteroid Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One μL of each freshly prepared bacteroid sample was mixed with 1 μL of 50 μg mL−1 DAPI or with both 1 μL of 50 μg mL−1 DAPI and 1 μL of 100 μg mL−1 propidium iodide (PI), which are both DNA binding dyes. Samples were visualized at ×100 magnification under oil immersion using a Nikon Eclipse 80i fluorescence microscope with the NIS-Elements BR 4.00.01 software and a Digital Sight DS-U3 camera.

Quantification of Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TdT assay was performed using the kit (Promega, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Five sections from each left ventricle (LV) cut perpendicularly to the major axis of the heart were sampled. TUNEL positive cells were counted throughout the LV and were expressed as percentage of the total number of nuclei as determined by DAPI (Molecular probes, Pittsburgh, PA). TUNEL costaining with tropomyosin was used to assess the percentage of apoptotic cardiomyocytes. All images were captured in 600X magnification using bright field microscope (Nikon Eclipse 80i, NIS Elements version 4.3). Quantification was done by ImageJ software (bundled with 64-bit Java 1.8.0_112).

Histological Analysis of C5 Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples of C5 stage from each treatment were fixed in Davidson solution for 24–48 h, stored in a 70% ethanol solution until further normal histological processing. Parafin wax sections (5μm thick) were stained with H&E and were observed using Nikon® microscope type Eclipse 80i, and image analysis (NIS-Elements D 2.30 227) software.

Visualizing Hydrogen Peroxide in Pea Roots

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We analyzed the primary and lateral roots of pea harvested after seven days of Cd treatment. Localization of H2O2 was performed by modifying the method of Thordal-Christensen et al. [57 (link)]. The fresh, hand-cut samples were placed in 1 mg/mL solution of 3,3′-DAB-HCl, pH 3.8 (Sigma), for 30 min at room temperature. Production of H2O2 was visualized as a reddish-brown coloration. We conducted tissue fixation of DAB stained tissues in 2.5% glutaraldehyde after rinsing slides for 10 min. Results were analyzed with Nikon microscopy (Eclipse 80i) and a NIS-Elements BR 3.1 program.

Samples were processed and stained according to the manufacturer's instructions (Vectastain ABC Kit). Antibodies include: PTEN (Cell Signaling Technology (CST #9559 - 1:100)), pAKT(S473) #4060 (CST 1:200), Ki67 (1:500, Novus Biochemicals #NB110-89719), α-SMA (Sigma-Aldrich #A7607, 1:1000), E-cadherin (CST #3195 1:200), AR (Santa Cruz Biotechnology (SCBT) #N-20, 1:400), p65 (CST #6956 1:200). TUNEL assay performed using DeadEnd Fluorimetric TUNEL Assay (Promega, #G3250). Photomicrographs were taken using a Nikon Eclipse 80i microscope and acquired using NIS-Elements BR 3.2. Investigators were not blinded during immunohistochemical analysis.

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.
