Device imaging was performed using inverted fluorescent microscopy (Olympus IX83 microscope, Olympus; Tokyo, Japan) with MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices; San Jose, CA), with the following exceptions: Growth factor titration, KI-67, CC3, and UEA-1 experiments were imaged using a Zeiss Axio Observer.Z1 microscope with a Zeiss Axiocam 506 mono camera (Carl Zeiss AG; Oberkochen, Germany). The integrated GOC model was imaged using a Zeiss LSM 880 II Airyscan FAST confocal microscope with the accompanying Zeiss Zen Microscope software, as was the EC only bead perfusion study. DAPI staining of HIEC monolayers on Transwells was imaged using a Leica SP8X tandem scanning confocal microscope with a white light laser 40x oil objective, with LASX by Leica Microsystems software (Leica Microsystems; Wetzlar, Germany).

After harvest, whole rat aortas were washed in PBS and then fixed in 30% sucrose mixed with 4% PFA for 2–3 h. Tissues were then blocked in 1% BSA with 1% Triton X-100 for 4 h to prevent nonspecific binding, and whole tissues were then incubated for 48 h at 4°C in primary antibody (anti-CCR2, Novus Bio, 1:50 and anti-CD68, Bio-Rad, 1:100) or control IgG (anti-mouse and anti-rabbit IgG, Novus Biologicals, 1:400). Anti-rabbit and anti-mouse secondary antibodies were applied (Jackson Laboratories) for 24 h at 4°C, and tissues were washed in PBS and incubated with DAPI (1:700 in PBS from Sigma). Tissues were then cleared in 70% ethanol, followed by 100% ethanol overnight. Whole tissues were then mounted in aqueous mounting media and imaged using a Zeiss LSM 880 II Airyscan FAST confocal microscope.

Assessing MAPT p.R406W Impacts on Endolysosomal Pathway

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the impact of MAPT p.R406W on the endolysosomal pathway, culture media was aspirated, and cells were washed and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA). Cells were washed and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer (0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS). Cells were then blocked in 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA; Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) and incubated with primary and secondary antibodies diluted in 1% BSA. Immunostained cells were then imaged (Nikon Eclipse 80i fluorescent microscope) and acquired by using Metamorph Molecular Devices software. Confocal images were acquired by using Zeiss LSM 880 II Airyscan FAST Confocal Microscope.

Microglia Morphology Analysis in Dentate Gyrus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Z-stacks (20 μm) of Iba1- labeled immunofluorescence images were acquired on an LSM 880 II Airyscan FAST confocal microscope (Zeiss) with a 60X objective, 1.8X zoom and 1,024 X 1,024 pixel resolution, For each mouse, a total of four z-stacks of the dentate gyrus region were taken from two separate brain sections. Microglia morphology analysis was performed on 3D images using Imaris 9.5 software (Bitplane). Morphology was analyzed using the Filament Tracer, with no loops allowed and spot detection mode to determine process start and end points per cell. Process reconstruction was made using the following custom settings: ‘detect new starting points’; ‘largest diameter 9.00 μm’, ‘seed points 2.00 μm’; ‘remove seed points around starting points’; ‘diameter of sphere regions: 15 μm’. All filament parameters were exported into separate Excel files and used for analyzing the number of process branches, process length, and process volume per cell. Image processing, three-dimensional reconstruction, and data analysis were performed in a blinded manner with regards to the experimental conditions.

Visualizing Schwann Cells in Zebrafish

One-cell stage zebrafish embryos were injected with ~ 15–20 ng of sox10:Lifeact-RFP (a gift from the Lyons lab, University of Edinburgh) and 25 ng of transposase mRNA. 1 dpf larvae were then screened for expression of sox10:Lifeact-RFP in Schwann cells at 24 hpf. For live-imaging, larvae were anesthetized in Tricaine and embedded in 0.8% agarose on a 35 mm glass bottom dish filled with 0.2% Tricaine and covered with a 22 × 22 mm2 coverslip on top of vacuum grease [40 (link)]. The larvae were then imaged with a Zeiss LSM 880 confocal microscope at 20× for 3 h at 3 min intervals. Still images were captured with a Zeiss LSM 880 II Airyscan FAST confocal microscope at 40xW with a 1.8 zoom. To examine blood vesssls, 4 dpf larvae with Tg(kdlr:mcherry) were imaged at 13.5× with a Nikon SMZ18 fluorescent dissecting microscope.

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.
