Immunofluorescence Staining of Cells and Tissue Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 30 min at room temperature, after being washed with PBS three times, the cells were blocked and permeated with PBS containing 5% BSA and 0.3% Triton for 1 hr at room temperature. Then cells were incubated with the relevant primary antibody at 4°C overnight. After a thorough washing, cells were incubated with the appropriate fluorescence-conjugated secondary antibody for 1 hr at room temperature. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33,342 (10 μg/mL).
For staining of frozen tissue sections, fresh liver specimens were embedded in cryo-embedding medium and stored in frozen blocks at −80°C prior to sectioning. Sections of 10 μm thickness were fixed with 4% PFA for 30 min, and then blocked with 5% BSA. The sections were then incubated with the correct primary antibodies and secondary antibodies similar to cell staining. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33,342 (10 μg/mL). Images were captured with an Olympus IX71 inverted fluorescent microscope. Antibodies used in this study are as follows: anti-E-cadherin (CST, 24E10), anti-albumin (Bethyl Laboratories, A90-234A), anti-ZO-1 (Gibco, 40–2200), anti-Cyp1a2 (Abcam, ab22717), anti-Cyp2c9 (Abcam, ab4236), anti-Cyp2c19 (Abcam, ab137015), and anti-Fah (Abcam, ab81087).

Standard media were used for the culture of yeast and bacterial strains (Burke et al. 2000 ). The bacterial DH1 strains containing the vectors pCS316 and pCYP1A2_NAT2 were cultured in LB-Amp (Luria Broth media with 100 µg/mL ampicillin). Media used for the culture of yeast cells included YPD (yeast extract, peptone, dextrose), SC (synthetic complete, dextrose), and SC-URA (SC lacking uracil). A mouse monoclonal antibody to CYP1A2 (ab22717) and a mouse polyclonal antibody to NAT2 (ab88443) were purchased from Abcam. Purified recombinant NAT2 protein was purchased from OriGene (TP761755). A goat antimouse IgG-HRP antibody was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (sc-2005). 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline (IQ) was purchased from Toronto Research Chemicals. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methanol, and glacial acetic acid were purchased from Sigma. AFB1 was dissolved in DMSO, while IQ was dissolved in methanol containing 0.1% acetic acid, and is simply referred to as MeOH.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Sciatic Nerve

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Briefly, rats were anesthetized and then perfused with 100 ml of saline solution and 100 ml of 4% paraformaldehyde. Within 15 min after completion of perfusion, the bilateral sciatic nerves were removed and fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4 °C. Subsequently, the bilateral sciatic nerves were transferred into a 30% sucrose solution for at least 1 week. Tissue embedded into the Tissue-Tek OCT compound (Sakura Finetek) was frozen-sectioned. Next, the sciatic nerve sections were stained using anti-CYP1A2 (5 μg/ml, Abcam, ab22717) and anti-S100β(dilution 1:1,000, Abcam, ab52642). Furthermore, ImageJ measured the fluorescence intensity of immunostaining.

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.
