For immunofluorescence, cells were pretreated with CCT271850 for 1 h, then treated with nocodazole, MG132 and CCT271850 for additional 1 h. Cells were fixed and stained according to the protocol previously described (Gurden et al, 2015 (link)). Primary antibodies used were as follows: anticentromere antibodies (ACA; ImmunoVision, Springdale, AR, USA, HCT-0100), BubR1 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA, 612503), Mad1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab45286), Mad2 (Bethyl Laboratories Inc., Montgomery, TX, USA, A300-301A), MPS1 (Invitrogen, 35–9100), MPS1 pT33pS37 (Life Technologies, 44–1325 G) and Zwint-1 (Abcam, ab84367). Images were acquired using a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope and processed using the Volocity 3D Image analysis software (PerkinElmer). Time-lapse microscopy was performed in 96-well Ibidi plate (Thistle Scientific, Glasgow, UK) using a Diaphot inverted microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan), in a humidified CO2 chamber at 37 °C, using a motorised stage (Prior Scientific, Cambridge, UK), controlled by Simple PCI software (Compix, Irvine, CA, USA).

Procyclic or metacyclic promastigote cells were incubated in culture with 200 nM of MitoTracker™ Green FM (Molecular Probe) for 30 min at 26°C, harvest and antibody stained as described (30 (link)) using mouse anti-HA [1:500] (Sigma) or rabbit anti-TbRBP16 [1:500] (29 (link)) and Alexa secondary antibodies [1:10 000]. Images were acquired on a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope and images were processed using PerkinElmer Volocity software.

Radiation-Induced DNA Damage Analysis

T98-EGFP and T98-EGFP-8.6 cells were grown on Lab-Tek II (Thermo Scientific) glass chamber slides (using the aforementioned conditions). Doxycycline (1 μg mL−1, Sigma) was added 24 h after seeding. Seven days after the addition of Doxycycline, cells were treated with 5 Gy of radiation using an MDS Nordion Gammacell 40 research irradiator. After treatment, cells were fixed in 4% (v/v) paraformaldeyde, permeabilized for 10 min with 0.5% (v/v) Triton-X 100 in phosphate-buffered saline, and blocked with a 1× casein (Sigma) or 3% (v/v) goat serum (Gibco) mixture for 2 h at room temperature (RT). Cells were then exposed to a 1:500 primary antibody solution (either y-H2AX (Millipore) or Rad-51 (Calbiochem)) overnight at 4 °C. The slides were then washed with phosphate-buffered saline and exposed to a 1:500 Alexa-Fluor 594 secondary antibody solution. Slides were washed again with phosphate-buffered saline, and nuclei were counterstained with VectaShield mounting media with DAPI. Images were acquired using a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope and analyzed (including foci counting) with Perkin Elmer’s Volocity software.

Neurite Growth Quantification in 2D and 3D Co-Cultures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence microscopy (Zeiss Axiolab A1, Axiocam Cm1) was used to capture images of neurites from five pre‐determined fields of each gel or coverslip using a ×20 lens. The neurite number in the determined fields depended on the cell type and model used (~1–12 neurites). Briefly, the positions of the pre‐determined fields on coverslips were equally spaced (625‐μm apart) in a line across the diameter at the center of the coverslip, for the gels the same method was used but the line of fields was along the edge of the construct where alignment was greatest. The length of each neurite in each field was measured using ImageJ. Following stabilization the gel acquired a thickness of 100 μm and the neurons extended predominantly in a single horizontal plane along the top surface, following the aligned Schwann cells (Phillips, 2014). This allowed analysis of neurite growth to be comparable between both the monolayer and 3D co‐cultures.
Tile scans were used to capture high‐magnification (x20) micrographs from the entire nerve cross‐section using a Zeiss LSM 710 Confocal microscope and images were analyzed using Volocity™ 6.4 (PerkinElmer) running automated image analysis protocols to determine the number of neurofilament‐immunoreactive neurites in each transverse nerve section.

Quantifying Neurite Outgrowth via Fluorescence Microscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence microscopy (Zeiss Axiolab A1, Axiocam Cm1, Carl Zeiss GmbH) was used to capture images of neurites from five pre-determined fields of each gel using a ×20 lens. The positions of the pre-determined fields on the gels were equally spaced (625 μm apart) in a line along the edge of the construct where alignment was greatest [27 (link)]. The length of each neurite in each field (~1–12 neurites) was measured using Fiji ImageJ [29 (link)]. Following stabilization, the gel acquired a thickness of 100 μm and the neurons extended predominantly in a single horizontal plane along the top surface, following the aligned Schwann cells [30 (link)].
Tile scans were used to capture high-magnification (×20) micrographs from the entire nerve cross-section using a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope and images were analysed using Volocity™ 6.4 (PerkinElmer, Beaconsfield, UK) running automated image analysis protocols to determine the number of neurofilament-immunoreactive neurites in each transverse nerve section.

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.
