The distribution of various fusion proteins (or RFP fusions) was analyzed with a ×100 PlanApochromat objective (NA = 1.4) either using an Olympus IX-81 inverted microscope equipped with a Hamamatsu Orca/ER digital camera (Hamamatsu Photonics, Hamamatsu City, Japan) and an Olympus (Tokyo, Japan) CellR detection and analyzing system (GFP filter block U-MGFPHQ, exc. max. 488, em. max. 507; RFP filter block U-MWIY2, exc. max. 545–580, em. max. 610; DAPI filter block U-MNUA2, exc. max. 360–370, em. max. 420–460), a Leica TCS SP5 AOBS confocal laser scanning system (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) coupled to a Leica DMI 6000 Cs inverted microscope, a Carl Zeiss AG Axioscope (Oberkochen, Germany) or Nikon (Tokyo, Japan) Eclipse Ni-U equipped with a DS-Fi2 digital camera.

Skin samples were fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde, 4% paraformaldehyde, and 2 mM CaCl2 in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate buffer (pH 7.2) for >1 hour at room temperature, post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide, and processed for Epon embedding; ultrathin sections (60–65 nm) were counterstained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. Images were acquired with a transmission electron microscope (TEM, Tecnai G2–12; FEI, Hillsboro, OR) equipped with a digital camera (AMT BioSprint29). Semithin sections (800 nm) were stained with toluidine blue and photographed with a Zeiss Axio Scope equipped with a Nikon Digital Sight camera.

FM4-64 Staining in Yeast Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FM4-64 staining with small modifications was performed as described [52 (link)]. Yeast cells were diluted to an OD600 = 0.1 and were grown for 12 h in liquid SC-medium. An aliquot (2 mL) was washed once in YEPD and resuspended in 100 µL YEPD supplemented with 20 µM FM4-64. After a 20 min incubation at 28 °C, cells were wash with SC-medium and incubated for 1 h in 100 µL liquid SC medium. Moreover, 50 µL of this cell suspension was used as a control, 50 µL was supplemented with 1 M NaCl and incubated for >30 min. Cells stained by FM4-64 were analyzed with a × 100 objective (NA = 1.4) using either a Carl Zeiss AG Axioscope (Oberkochen, Germany) or a Nikon (Tokyo, Japan) Eclipse Ni-U equipped with a DS-Fi2 digital camera.

Quantifying Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The slides containing the sections were coded and quantification performed by an experimenter blind to the code. BrdU-positive cells were counted within the SGZ [15] (link) on a Zeiss Axioskop-2 Plus microscope. The number of BrdU-positive cells per section was determined by assessing every sixth section across the rostro-caudal extent of the hippocampus (10 sections/animal). The number of DCX- and GFP-positive cells in the dentate gyrus was quantified (four sections per animal) using a Zeiss Axioscope and Nikon Eclipse 90i fluorescence microscope, respectively. The cell counts are plotted as a percentage of the control (vehicle-treated) for each adrenergic receptor agonist and antagonist. The numbers of cells/section for all treatment conditions are shown in Table S1.
The number of Nestin-GFP/GFAP double-positive cells was quantified by determining the percentage of GFP-positive cells that colocalized with GFAP using confocal microscopy. At least 50 GFP-positive cells from each animal (four sections per animal) were analyzed using z-plane confocal sectioning with 1 µm steps on a Zeiss LSM5 Exciter microscope.

The fusion proteins (either GFP or RFP fusions) were analysed with a × 100 objective (NA = 1.4) using either a Carl Zeiss AG Axioscope (Oberkochen, Germany) or a Nikon (Tokyo, Japan) Eclipse Ni-U equipped with a DS-Fi2 digital camera. The grade of co-localization was quantified as described in Rinnerthaler et al. (Rinnerthaler et al., 2013 (link)) using the Co-localization Finder plugin as part of NIH ImageJ software.

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.
