The ovaries were dissected from mosquitoes injected with Fluc control dsRNA and EOF1 dsRNA at 96 h PBM. Each follicle was carefully separated from the ovaries in 1× PBS under a dissecting microscope. The mature follicles were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M PIPES for 1 h at room temperature and washed twice in PIPES. The follicles were then postfixed in 1% osmium tetroxide in PIPES for 1 h and washed twice in deionized water for 10 min each. The follicles were dehydrated with ETOH in water through a graded series for 10 min each in 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% ETOH and 3 times 30 min each in 100% ETOH at room temperature. The samples were dried with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS; Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA, USA) in ETOH through a graded series for 20 min each in 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% HMDS at room temperature. The follicle samples were air dried under a fume hood overnight at room temperature for SEM analysis. The dried samples were metallized with gold using Hummer 6.2 Sputter System (Anatech USA, Union City, CA, USA). Inspect-S scanning electron microscope (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA) was used to compare the ultrastructural characteristics of the ovarian follicles of females injected with Fluc and EOF1 dsRNA.

Particle size distributions were determined using a Zetasizer ZS90 (Malvern Instruments Inc., Westborough, MA) and confirmed with scanning electron microscope (SEM), as described below. Samples were sputter-coated with 10 nm of platinum (Hummer 6.2 Sputter System, Anatech USA, Union City, CA). Particle and nanofiber morphology were evaluated using a Quanta 200 SEM (FEI, Hillsboro, OR) with an acceleration voltage of 10 kV and sized using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

To assess morphology, SEM images of bevacizumab spray-dried powders were obtained using a Hitachi SU3500 (Hitachi High Technologies America Inc., Schaumburg, IL, USA). A trace amount of sample was applied to double-sided carbon tape mounted on an aluminum stub. The sample was then sputter-coated with gold/palladium for 10 min at 15 to 20 mV using a Hummer® 6.2 Sputter System (Anatech Ltd., Battle Creek, MI, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The structure of scaffolds and human AC was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JSM-6500F; JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) after enzymatic depletion of the proteoglycan moiety and chondrocytes in phosphate-buffered solutions (PBS, H15–002; PAA Laboratories, Pasching, Austria) containing 1 mg/ml bovine hyaluronidase (type I, H3506; Sigma-Aldrich) and 1 mg/ml trypsin (Trypsin-EDTA, T4174; Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 °C for three days. Specimens were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (P/0840/53; Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK) in PBS for 4 hours at room temperature, rinsed with water and dehydrated in graded ethanol series.
Prior to SEM imaging, all chitosan/PEO scaffolds and cartilage samples were coated with a thin conducting layer of gold (∼10 nm) with a Hummer 6.2 Sputter System (Anatech, Union City, CA). Images were obtained using an emission current of 10 µA and an accelerating voltage of 10 kV.

Zebrafish Larval Otolith Structural Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At seven dpf, larval zebrafish were euthanized, dehydrated in a graded ethanol series to 100%, and split into two groups. The oval windows of larvae in group one were teased apart using one μm tungsten dissecting needles (Roboz Surgical, Gaithersburg, MD) to reveal the inner ear and its associated otoliths (n = 6). Group two larvae received no further treatment (n = 6). All larvae were then fixed in three percent glutaraldehyde in 0.1M NaPO4 buffer, pH 7.4 at four °C. Larvae were transferred to microporous specimen capsules (Structure Probe Inc., West Chester, PA) for processing. Larvae were washed in three changes of phosphate buffer and dehydrated in a graded ethanol series to 100% (as described above) before critical point drying in liquid CO2 (Tousimis Research Corporation, Rockville, MD). Larvae were placed on carbon tabs (Ladd Research Industries, Williston, VT) and sputter coated with Au/Pd using a Hummer 6.2 sputter system (Anatech USA, Union City, CA). Samples were viewed on a JEOL JSM-5900LV at 10 kV) (JEOL USA, Peabody, MA) (Fig. 4a, 4b, and s2).

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.
