Fluorescent Labeling and Localization of LCN2 in Mice

LCN2 was fluorescently labelled with Alexa568-Succinimidyl Ester (Molecular Probes) by following previous protocols58 (link) and instructions from the manufacturer (https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/brochures/TR0031-Calc-FP-ratios.pdf) including clean up by gel filtration followed by microcon (10 K) washes. The molar ratios of Alexa dye to native, K3, K3Cys proteins were 0.98, 1.20 and 0.73. The proteins were introduced (80 μg for LCN2, 8-week old mice) and after 1 h, kidney, liver, heart and spleen were fixed in 4% PFA. Immunohistochemical staining of the kidney proximal tubules (Anti-Megalin, Santa Cruz; LTL, Vector Labs) collecting ducts (Anti-Tromal Ab, Developmental Studies Hybridoma; DSHB; Anti-AE1 Ab), Principal cells (Anti-AQP2), Intercalated cells (Anti-V-ATPase Ab) were visualized using Zeiss LSM 510 Meta Confocal Scanning Microscope. Immunoblots were assayed with anti-mouse LCN2 (R&D Systems) and anti-mouse Tf (Bethyl Laboratories, A90-129A).

Animals were euthanized by intraperitoneal administration of pentobarbital (120 mg/kg body weight administered intraperitoneally followed by intracardial administration), and the eyes were enucleated and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 3 h at room temperature and then submerged in 20% sucrose in PBS (1×: 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 2 mM KH2PO4, pH 7.4) overnight at 4 °C. Fixed eyes were embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (OCT; Miles Diagnostics, Elkhart, IN) and frozen at −80 °C. Transverse 10 µm thick retinal sections were cut using a cryostat (Leica Biosystems, Buffalo Grove, IL) and used for immunohistochemical analysis. Sections were viewed with a Zeiss (Thornwood, NY) LSM 510 META confocal scanning microscope.

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.
