Example 4

Hemangioblast-derived endothelial cells or pure hemangioblasts (1×106 cells) derived from H1-GFP human ES cells were purified and resuspended in 700 μl of Matrigel (BD Biosciences™). These cells were injected subcutaneously in the dorsal region of 4-week-old SCID mice (Jackson Laboratory™). Five weeks after injection, the Matrigel plugs were removed from the animals and frozen sections were prepared from the plugs. Cross sections of the Matrigel plugs were fixed, and stained by standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, as well as immunohistochemistry using an anti-human specific nuclei antibody (MAB1281, Chemicon™) and human specific anti-vWF antibody, followed by fluorescent dye labeled corresponding secondary antibodies (goat anti-mouse IgG-Texas Red secondary antibody for MAB1281). FIG. 10 demonstrates vessels in cross sections of Matrigel plugs with H&E staining; and FIG. 11 demonstrates that the vessels in cross sections of Matrigel plugs are cells derived from human hemangioblasts, which are positive for human specific nuclei antibody.

Mouse anti-human nuclei monoclonal antibody (MAB1281 Millipore Merck) was used for immunofluorescence staining procedures, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Ten randomly selected fields per each slide were examined, and the areas of interest were interactively selected by two independent observers, using proper optical threshold and microscope filter combinations. Computer morphometry was performed using Lionheart FX Automated Live Cell Imager (BioTek VT, USA). The system included a digital color camera and software package for immunofluorescence evaluation.

Sections were fixed in formaldehyde. A monoclonal mouse antibody was used for labeling human nuclei (anti-human nuclei, HuNu, MAB 1281, 1:200, EMD Millipore, UK). Sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C. Biotin block solution (Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA) was added to the primary antibody dilution. Furthermore, antibody conjugates were adsorbed with normal rabbit serum to minimize cross-reactivity. An avidin-conjugated secondary antibody was used. For analysis of adverse effects of the transplantation, such as thromboembolic complications, hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed according to Mayer's protocol.19

The cellular immunofluorescence staining for Lamin B1 (1:100, CL594-66095, Proteintech, China) was performed to detect cell senescence. For tissue immunofluorescence staining, after blocking, the frozen sections were incubated with primary antibodies against NeuN (1:1000, ab177487, Abcam, USA), Aβ (mouse anti-Aβ (1:200, SIG-39320, Covance), DCX (1:100, ab18723, Abcam, USA), MAB1281 (1:100, MAB1281, Merck, USA), GFAP (1:500, 16825-1-AP, Proteintech, China) and Iba1 (1:100, 10904-1-AP, Proteintech, China) overnight at 4 °C, and then incubated with Cy3 or FITC-conjugated anti-mouse or ant-rabbit IgG (1:200, AB0122, Abways, China) for 2 h. For EdU/DCX, EdU/NeuN, or EdU/Nestin double immunofluorescence staining, EdU solution (5 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected daily for three consecutive days before the mice were sacrificed, according to the instructions of the Cell-Light EdU Apollo567Kit (RiboBio, China). After Apollo staining, the slices were respectively incubated with DCX, NeuN or Nestin antibody (1:1000, 19483-1-AP, Proteintech, USA) overnight at 4 °C and incubated with FITC-conjugated IgG antibody (1:500, SA00003-2, Proteintech, USA) for 2 h. After DAPI (1:100) counterstaining, the sections were examined under a microscope (Leica, German), and the positive cells were analyzed using Image J software (Bethesda, USA).

The pigs were euthanized 21 days after transplantation. Transcardiac perfusion with 0.9% NaCl solution followed by 4% paraformaldehyde was performed. The fixed spinal cord was excised and frozen. The cord was sectioned axially at 50 μm intervals and stained with Prussian Blue (PB) reagent for microscopic Iron and counter-stained with Eosin. Immunohistochemical staining for detection of grafted human cells using a primary mouse monoclonal anti-human nucleus (HuNu) antibody (MAB1281; EMD Millipore; 1/250) and detection of grafted pig cells using a primary mouse monoclonal anti-GFP antibody (AB3080; EMD Millipore; 1/250) was performed on every 6th section with cresyl violet background stain. Images were captured using a Nikon E400 microscope supplied with NIS-Elements imaging software (Nikon Instruments, Inc.). The current study was not designed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy or biological properties of transplanted cell grafts, which has been established in previous studies[29 (link)–31 (link)].

After perfusion, brains were post-fixed for 24 h in 4% PFA and then cryopreserved in a 30% sucrose solution before being sectioned coronally on a freezing sledge microtome at a thickness of 35 μm in series of 1:8 or 1:12.
Immunohistochemistry was performed on free-floating sections and all washing steps were carried out with 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline with potassium (KPBS, pH 7.4). The sections were washed three times and then incubated in Tris-EDTA pH 8 for 30 min at 80 °C for antigen retrieval. After washing an additional three times, the sections were incubated in blocking solution (5% serum, 0.25% Triton X-100) for 1 h, before adding the primary antibody solution. Primary antibodies used were: mouse anti-HuNu (1:200, Merck Millipore, #MAB1281), rabbit anti-TH (1:1000, Merck Millipore, #AB152) and chicken anti-GFP (1:1000, Abcam, #ab13970). After incubation with primary antibodies overnight at room temperature, the sections were washed twice and incubated in blocking solution for 30–45 min. For fluorescent immunolabeling, the sections were then incubated with fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:200, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) for 2 h at room temperature, washed three times and then mounted on gelatin-coated slides and cover-slipped with PVA-DABCO containing DAPI (1:1000).

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.
