Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse kidneys were fixed with the 4% paraformaldehyde solution (pH 7.2) overnight at 4°C, washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), cryoprotected with 10% and 20% sucrose at 4°C, embedded in OCT compound (Miles), and frozen in hexane at −80°C. Frozen sections (5 μm thick) were collected onto MAS‐coated slides (Matsunami Glass IND, Ltd.) and air‐dried (Ohkido, Segawa, Yanagida, Nakamura, & Miyamoto, 2003; Segawa et al., 2005). Serial sections were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Alexa Fluor 488 anti‐rabbit (Molecular Probes) and Alexa Fluor 568 anti‐mouse (Molecular Probes) were used as secondary antibodies for 60 min at room temperature. Thereafter, the sections were mounted with Dapi Fluoromount GTM (Southern Biotech).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pmRFP-Rab5 was obtained from Addgene (Addgene plasmid 14437). pcDNA4-EGFP-DTX1 and pcDNA4-LAMP1-mCherry were generated as described previously9 (link). To generate pcDNA4-cerulean-c-FLIPL, cerulean fragments were amplified by PCR from Cerulean-GalT (Addgene plasmid 11930) with HindIII/EcoRI and cloned into pcDNA4-c-FLIPL-Myc with HindIII/EcoRI to create a translational fusion construct.
293T cells (1 × 106) transduced with mRFP-Rab5 or LAMP1-mCherry were transfected with cerulean-c-FLIPL and EGFP-DTX1. 24 h after transfection, cells were re-seeded on a 22 × 22 mm glass coverslip and allowed to attach for another 18 h. Cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 min at 37 °C and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were mounted in Dapi-Fluoromount-GTM (SouthernBiotech, Birmingham, AL) and observed under a Zeiss LSM 780 confocal microscope.

Validating αvβ3 Expression in U87MG Tumor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The  V  3 expression in U87MG tumor cells was validated in both cell culture and xenograft levels. In brief, U87MG cells were analyzed by flow cytometry with the anti-human α V β 3 antibody (LM609, 1:100 dilution; Millipore).  V  3 -Overexpressing HEK293( 3 ) and  V  3 -negative HEK293( 1 ) cells (kindly provided by J.-F. Gourvest, Aventis, France) were used as the positive and negative controls, respectively. For U87MG xenograft, α V β 3 expressed by tumor cells and neovascular endothelial cells was validated by immunofluorescence staining with the anti-human α V β 3 antibody and double staining with the anti-mouse CD61 antibody (2C9.G2, 1:50 dilution; BD Biosciences) and the anti-mouse CD31 antibody (MEC 13.3, 1:1000 dilution; BD Biosciences). The slides were mounted with mounting agent (Dapi-Fluoromount-G TM ; SouthernBiotech) containing 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) for nucleus staining. Fluorescence images were acquired with an epifluorescence microscope (Olympus X61).

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.
