At the end of experiment, following deep anesthesia and fixative perfusion, rat spinal cord was dissected and processed for serial frozen sections (10 μM thick) using a cryostat microtome. In order to examine the presence of myelinating oligodendro-cyte, immunohistochemistry staining was carried out with specific antibody (16 (link)). Briefly, after sample permeabilization, incubation was performed in primary antibodies; mouse monoclonal anti-Major basic protein (MBP) (1:1000) (Abcam, Cambridge City, MA, USA) and mouse monoclonal anti-Olig2 (1:1000, Abcam), and subsequently in secondary antibody; Goat anti-mouse FITC - (1:2000, Abcam). Finally, nuclear counterstaining was performed using 4’, 6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dilactate (DAPI). The cells were examined using a fluorescence microscope (Olympus BX51, Tokyo City, Japan) for at least five sections of each sample. The ratio number of labeled positive cells to the number of nuclei was calculated for each antigen by Image J, a public domain, Java-based image processing program developed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure a bystander killing effect of 9MW2821 and EV, PC-3 and PC-3/nectin-4 cell lines were used as nectin-4–negative and positive cells, respectively. For the coculture study, PC-3 cells were seeded in a 6-well plate at fixed 3 × 104 cells/well, and PC-3/nectin-4 cells were seeded at 0, 0.3 × 104, 3 × 104, and 6 × 104 cells/well. After overnight incubation, the supernatant was removed, and each drug, MW282 mAb, 9MW2821, and EV, was added to 1 μg/mL (no added drug was the control). After 5 days of coculture, the supernatant was removed, and viable cells were detached from the plate. The number of cells was measured with a cell counter. To determine the ratio of PC-3 and PC-3/nectin-4 cells, the cells were stained with a mouse monoclonal anti-nectin–4 antibody (Clone# M008, prepared by Mabwell) on ice for 60 minutes. After washing, the cells were stained with goat anti-mouse FITC (Abcam, catalog No. ab150113) on ice for 60 minutes. After washing, the fluorescent signals of 1 × 104 stained cells were measured using a flow cytometer, and the ratio of nectin-4–positive to nectin-4–negative cells was calculated. The number of PC-3 or PC-3/nectin-4 cells in each well was calculated, and the bystander killing effect was evaluated on the basis of the number of PC-3 cells.

Mice were sacrificed after 15 days. The wound tissues were fixed in 10% formalin and embedded in the paraffin routinely. The sections of diabetic wounds were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H & E), and Masson’s trichrome. Images were scanned by ServiceBio Company. Picrosirius red staining pictures were photographed by polarized light microscope in Servicebio Company. The collagen content was quantified using ImageJ v1.8.0 software.
For immunostaining, wound sections were dewaxed and rinsed with PBS. For antigen retrieval, tissue sections were treated with sodium citrate buffer at 95 °C for 10 min, followed by permeabilization with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 min. After blocking in PBST (PBS + 0.1% Tween 20) containing 2% BSA, tissue sections were incubated with 8-OHdG (Abcam; 1:200), anti-mouse CD31 (Abcam; 1:300), anti-CK10 (Abcam; 1:100), anti-mouse F4/80 (Abcam; 1:100), anti-mouse CD86 (Abcam; 1:100) or anti-mouse CD206 (Abcam; 1:100) antibodies for 8 h at 4 °C.

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.
