5 protocols using eclipse 90i confocal laser scanning microscope

1

Intracellular Localization of DAR-4M Micelles

The intracellular localization of DAR-4M micelles was detected using LysoTracker Green DND-26 (Life Technologies Japan.,Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) according to the product manual. Briefly, RAW264.7 cells were seeded on glass bottom dish (Matsunami Glass Ind.,Ltd., Osaka, Japan) at a density of 1 × 105 cells/cm2 and cultured in 1 ml of DMEM medium with 10 vol% FCS for 24 h. The medium was exchanged to DMEM containing 100 ng/ml of LPS, and incubated further for 24 h. Next, the medium was exchanged to FCS-free DMEM containing 75 nM of LysoTracker Green DND-26, and then, DAR-4M micelles were added to each dish. After 1 h incubation, cells were washed with PBS. The cells were viewed on a Nikon ECLIPSE 90i confocal laser scanning microscope (Nikon Corp., Tokyo, Japan).

RAW264.7 cells were seeded on glass bottom dish (Matsunami Glass Ind.,Ltd., Osaka, Japan) at a density of 1 × 105 cells/cm2 and cultured in 1 ml of DMEM medium with 10 vol% FCS for 24 h. The medium was exchanged to DMEM containing 100 ng/ml of LPS, and incubated further for 24 h. Next, the medium was exchanged to FCS-free DMEM, and then, free DAR-4M, DSPE-g-gelatin, the mixture of free DAR-4M and DSPE-g-gelatin, or DAR-4M micelles were added to each dish. After 1 h incubation, cells were washed with PBS. The cells were viewed on a Nikon ECLIPSE 90i confocal laser scanning microscope (Nikon Corp., Tokyo, Japan).
To evaluate the fluorescent intensity of cells incubated for 1 h with free DAR-4M, DSPE-g-gelatin, the mixture of free DAR-4M and DSPE-g-gelatin, and DAR-4M micelles, RAW264.7 cells were seeded on each well of 24 well multi-dish culture plate (Corning Inc., Corning, NY) at a density of 1 × 105 cells/cm2 cultured in 1 ml of DMEM with 10 vol% FCS for 24 h. Then, the medium was exchanged to FCS-free DMEM, and free DAR-4M, DSPE-g-gelatin, the mixture of free DAR-4M and DSPE-g-gelatin or DAR-4M micelles were added to each well. After 1 h incubation, cells were washed with PBS. The cells were viewed on a Nikon ECLIPSE 90i confocal laser scanning microscope (Nikon Corp., Tokyo, Japan).

Quantifying Lens Cell Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Timed mated pregnant WT and Rap1cKO mice at day 15.5 post-conception, were injected with bromo-deoxy-uridine (BrdU) at a concentration of 100 μg/gram body weight and were sacrificed after two hours of incorporation as we described earlier (Maddala et al., 2008 (link)). Embryo heads were fixed for cryosectioning (Maddala et al., 2008 (link)). After genotyping, 8–10 μm thick serial sections were cut and used for BrDU labeling using Fluorescein (FITC)-tagged anti-BrdU antibody (BD Biosciences, Palo Alto CA) as we described earlier (Maddala et al., 2008 (link)). Micrographs were captured using Nikon Eclipse 90i confocal laser scanning microscope. Total numbers of nuclei staining positively for BrdU in the epithelium and transitional zone of lenses from both Rap1cKO and WT mice, were counted and plotted. Values derived from 6 independent specimens (2 to 3 serial sections from each mouse head) were analyzed for determining statistical significance.

Lead Accumulation Visualization in Salix babylonica

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
S. babylonica root tips exposed to different Pb concentrations (0, 1, 10, 50, or 100 μmol/L) for 3, 6, 12, and 24 h were soaked in EDTA solution (Na2-EDTA, 20 mmol/L) and washed with running water for 15 min. Then, root tips were washed with deionized water 3 times. Afterwards, experimental and control roots were stained using the Pb-specific probe Leadmium™ Green AM solution (Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 90 min at 40 °C in the dark following the manufacturer’s instructions to visualize Pb absorption and distribution [55 ]. Intact cells exhibited green fluorescence due to the Pb-specific probe Leadmium™ Green AM solution. Fluorescence density was analyzed using the “Analyze and Measure” function in Image J software to evaluate the Pb distribution in intact roots. Prepared samples were observed using a Nikon Eclipse 90i confocal laser scanning microscope with an exciter at 488 nm and a barrier at 590/50 nm.

Immunofluorescence Analysis of Cnn3 in Mouse Eyes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Embryonic heads (E12.5 and E16.5) and adult P28 day-old mouse eyes, were fixed in 4% buffered paraformaldehyde, cryoprotected, embedded in OCT (optical cutting temperature) compound and 10 μm sections were cut in sagittal plane using Microm HM 550 as described by us earlier9 (link). Cryosections were incubated overnight with CNN3 rabbit polyclonal antibody (details are described in Table S1; Supplemental material) as we described earlier9 (link). Following this, sections were washed and incubated with Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Invitrogen) before image capture using an Eclipse 90i confocal laser scanning microscope (Nikon Instruments, Inc.)9 (link).

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.
