4 protocols using achroplan 40 75w objective

1

Visualizing F-actin in Raw264.7 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Raw264.7 cells were fixed with 3.7% methanol-free formaldehyde, and F-actin formation in Raw264.7 cells was observed after staining with Alexa Fluor 488 Phalloidin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Images were captured with an epifluorescence Zeiss (White Plains, NY) Axioskop and a Zeiss (Achroplan 40/.75W) objective.

Quantifying AKT-PH and YAP Localization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunolabeled and GFP tagged AKT-PH samples were imaged and captured with an epifluorescence Zeiss Axioskop and a Zeiss (Achroplan 40/.75W objective). The selected cells displayed in the appropriate figures were representative of 90% of the population. For YAP localization the average fluorescence intensity in the nucleus and just outside the nucleus (cytoplasm) was measured to determine the nuclear/cytoplasmic ratios. To determine membrane/cytoplasmic ratios of GFP tagged AKT-PH, the average fluorescence intensity in the membrane and inside the cytoplasm was measured. All Image analysis was performed using ImageJ software.

Quantifying NFE2L1 Nuclear Localization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NSCLC cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.4% Triton X‐100, and washed with PBS before incubation for 2 h in 5% BSA at 25°C to facilitate blocking. Samples were then probed overnight at 4°C with anti‐NFE2L1 (ab238154, Abcam, 1: 200) in BB, followed by washing with PBS and staining at room temperature for 1 h with AF488‐conjugated goat‐anti‐mouse IgG (1: 100). The epifluorescence Zeiss Axioskop and a Zeiss (Achroplan 40/.75 W objective) were used to capture uncompressed 24‐bit TIFF files. A cooled (−12°C) single CCD color digital camera (Pursuit, Diagnostic Instruments) driven by the freely available SPOT version 4.7 software was utilized for this purpose. To detect AF488 (Chroma Technology), a filter set 41,001 with high IQ was employed. To determine the ratios of nuclear/cytoplasmic, the measurement of average fluorescence intensity was conducted for NFE2L1 localization in both the nucleus and the immediate surrounding area (cytoplasm). Zeiss analysis imaging software, which is freely available, was utilized for conducting all Image analysis. Eighty percent of the population was represented by the chosen cells, which were shown in the relevant figures.

Immunofluorescence of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence of PDAC cells was performed by fixing the cultures with 4% paraformaldehyde followed by permeabilization with 0.4% Triton X-100. Cultures were then incubated for 2h at 25°C in blocking buffer (BB), consisting of PBS supplemented with 5% bovine serum albumin, then incubated at 4°C overnight with a YAP mouse mAb (1:200) diluted in BB. Bound primary antibody was detected using Alexa Fluor 488 - conjugated goat-anti mouse (1:1000) for 1h at 25°C. Nuclei were stained using a Hoechst 33342 stain (1:10,000). Images were captured as uncompressed 24-bit TIFF files captured with an epifluorescence Zeiss Axioskop and a Zeiss (Achroplan 40/.75W objective) and a cooled (−12 °C) single CCD color digital camera (Pursuit, Diagnostic Instruments) driven by SPOT version 4.7 software. Alexa Fluor 488 signals were observed with a HI Q filter set 41001 and TRITC images with a HI Q filter set 41002c (Chroma Technology).

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.
