Live-Dead cell staining kit was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Abcam). Briefly, after 0, 7, and 14 days of monoculture or 7, 14, and 21 days of coculture, samples were labeled with mixture of solution A (Live-Dye) and solution B (PI) in the staining buffer for 15 min at 37 °C. The samples were then washed once with the staining buffer and examined under Olympus IX71 with U-RFL-T (detects FITC and TRITC). For NeuN immunostaining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and treated with 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma), followed by blocking in 4% BSA (Millipore) at 4 °C overnight. Cells were then labeled with NeuN antibody (1:500, Abcam) for 24 hr at 4 °C, and were stained with Alexa Fluor® 488 donkey anti-mouse IgG (1:500, Invitrogen) for 1 hr at room temperature, followed by DAPI (Life Technologies) staining.

For double immunofluorescence, sections were incubated with a mixture of primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight, followed by a mixture of FITC- and Cy3-conjugated secondary antibodies. Sections were coverslipped using a water-based mounting medium containing DAPI (Bioss, China). The stained sections were examined using an Olympus fluorescence microscope, analyzed by Image Pro-plus 6.0 (Image Pro-Plus Kodak, USA), and images were taken with a CCD Spot camera. Negative controls in which the primary antibody was omitted or replaced with PBS were used to confirm immunospecificity.

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.
