Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunofluorescent staining, non-specific binding was blocked using 10% blocking serum in PBS for 1 hour, and the tissue samples were then incubated with primary antibodies to AhR (ab84833, Abcam), nestin (clone 10C2, Abcam), and GFP (clone 4B10, Cell Signaling Technology Inc.) overnight at 4°C. Secondary antibodies conjugated with fluorescence were added, and slides were incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Isotype-matched negative control antibodies (R&D Systems) were used under the same conditions. Nuclei were counterstained with 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride (DAPI) (Sigma). The sections were mounted with the ProLong Gold Anti-fade Kit (Molecular Probes, Grand Island, NY) and observed by a NIKON ECLIPSE Ti-U microscope equipped with DS-Fi2 camera (NIKON, USA).

Sections were mounted with the ProLong Gold Anti-fade Kit (Molecular Probes) and observed with a Nikon Eclipse Ti-U microscope equipped with a DS-Fi2 camera (Nikon). To determine the fluorescence signal in tissue sections, fluorescent-positive cells in four different high-power fields (500 μM2) from each slide were quantified using ImageJ v1.50e (National Institutes of Health). At least two tissue sections per mouse were included for analysis and presented as mean fluorescence intensity per square micrometer.

Chicken embryonic fibroblasts (DF-1) were purchased from the Cell Resource Center of Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. BSR-T7/5 cells stably expressing the T7 phage RNA polymerase were a kind gift from Prof. Zhigao Bu (Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, China). DF-1 and were BSR-T7/5 cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics and were cultured at 37 °C under 5% CO2. The parental NDV (rSS1GFP) and the mutant NDV harboring NLS mutation in the M protein (rSS1GFP-M/NLSm) were generated in our previous study [22 (link)]. The two viruses were plaque purified three times in DF-1 cells and propagated once in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) embryonated chicken eggs. Primary antibody mouse anti-Tubulin monoclonal antibody (sc-53646), mouse anti-GAPDH monoclonal antibody (sc-66163), mouse anti-Lamin B1 monoclonal antibody (sc-56143), and mouse anti-GFP monoclonal antibody (sc-9996) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (USA). Mouse anti-PROX1 monoclonal antibody (ab33219), and rabbit anti-AHR polyclonal antibody (ab84833) were purchased from Abcam (UK).

Ileal tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight, dehydrated, and
embedded in paraffin. Tissue slices (5 µm in thickness) were mounted on
positively charged glass and dewaxed. Ag retrieval was achieved by incubation in

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.
