Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For live imaging of EB1-EGFP, cells were collected by standard trypsinization and 1.4 x 106 cells were plated on a collagen-coated 35 mm glass-bottom dish (MatTek Corporation). After recovering overnight, the spent media was replaced with fresh media containing diluted DMSO/nocodazole. Each dish was treated and imaged separately at room temperature using an Eclipse TE2000 confocal microscope (Nikon). After imaging up to 15 min, treated plates were incubated in 5% CO2 at 37°C for an additional 1.75 hours. Adhesion activation was then analyzed via brightfield microscopy with images collected using a IX-71 microscope (Olympus), the same as similar assays in this paper. Cells were then fixed in -20°C methanol for 10 min, washed twice with PBS, then blocked for 30 min in 5% milk/PBST before overnight incubation with mouse anti-α-tubulin DM1A monoclonal antibody (Pierce, #62204) [1:2,500] at 4°C. Cells were then washed twice with PBS before incubation with rabbit anti-mouse IgG (H+L) 546 [1:500] in the dark for 2 hours at room temperature. Cells were washed twice and left in a third wash of PBS for imaging on an Eclipse TE2000 confocal microscope (Nikon).

MCF-10A cells were seeded and cultured on fibronectin (Sigma-Aldrich)-coated cover glasses. Cells were fixed with 4 % paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Science, Hatfield, PA, USA) in PBS for 10 min on ice. Then, immunostaining was performed using standard procedures. Primary antibodies against pSMAD1/5/9 (Cell Signaling Technology), E-cadherin (BD Biosciences), N-cadherin (Invitrogen), ZO-1 (Invitrogen), laminin (Sigma-Aldrich), and SNAI2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) were used. When required, phalloidin-Texas red (Molecular Probes, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used for ac-tin staining and DRAQ5 (Biostatus, Leicestershire, UK) was used for nucleus staining. Cells were imaged using a Nikon Eclipse TE2000 confocal microscope (Nikon Instruments, Inc., Melville, NY).

Approximately 48 hours following CED of ZsGreen BPNs, mice were euthanized and transcardially perfused with 10 ml of 2% heparinized 0.9% saline, followed by 10 ml of tris-buffered saline with calcium chloride (0.1 g/liter). Brains were removed, rapidly frozen to −80°C, and cut into 100-μm sections using a cryostat (1905, Leica, Buffalo Grove, IL). Every other section within 2 to 3 mm of the injection site was collected on a slide and mounted with permanent mounting medium (P36970, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA). Sections were imaged using a Nikon Eclipse TE2000 confocal microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY) under ×4 magnification. Multiple images were taken and stitched together in montages to capture the entire injection site. Volume of transfected tumor tissue was quantified from these images using a MATLAB script similar to previous studies (32 (link)). Briefly, background fluorescence was subtracted and images were thresholded at 5% of the maximum intensity. The total volume of transgene expression was calculated by multiplying the area of distribution from each slice by the slice thickness and summing values for each slice.

The membrane was stained with WGA Alexa Fluor 594 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Hoechst 33342 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used to visualize nuclei. Slides were analyzed using Eclipse TE2000 confocal microscope (Nikon, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan).

Immunofluorescence Imaging of Permeabilized Cells

Fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100, 1% bovine serum albumin, 100 mM glycine, and 0.2 mg/ml EDTA in PBS on ice for 10 min. The cells were subsequently digested with RNase A in PBS-EDTA (5 mM) solution for 30 min at 37°C. Cells were blocked in 10% goat serum in PBS and 0.01% sodium azide for 1 h at 37°C or overnight at 4°C. For IF staining, cells were incubated with appropriate primary antibody diluted in blocking solution for 1 h at 37°C. After three washes using 0.05% Tween 20 in PBS, cells were incubated with a corresponding fluorescence-tagged secondary antibody [Alexa Fluor goat anti-mouse or Alexa Fluor goat anti-rabbit (Invitrogen)]. After three washes, cells were mounted with ProLong Gold antifade reagent with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Invitrogen). Stained cells were visualized and imaged using a Hamamatsu EM-CCD digital camera attached to the Nikon Eclipse TE2000 confocal microscope.

For confocal microscopy, cells were grown overnight on sterile cover slips in 200 µl of a complete culture medium in 6-well plates (CoStar, Cambridge, MA, USA). NPs (50 µg/ml) were added and incubated with the cells for 24 h. Hoechst 33342 (Sigma-Aldrich), MitoTracker® Red, LysoTracker® Red DND-99, human transferrin-Alexa Fluor® 568 Conjugate, and Wheat Germ Agglutinin-Alexa Fluor® 555 Conjugate (all from Life Technologies, Waltham, MA, USA) used to localize NPs inside cells were added for the last 1 h of incubation. Before the analysis, extracellular FITC fluorescence was quenched with Trypan blue solution (0.1%) for 10 min as described earlier.19 (link) After that, cells were washed with a fresh medium, fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde, washed, and polymerized with Mowiol 4.88 medium (Calbiochem, Germany). Slides were analyzed using an Eclipse TE2000 confocal microscope (Nikon, Japan).

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.
