We also analyzed the phenotype of microglia at day 4–5 after isolation. Previously, light microscopy images were taken before staining with antibodies using an AxioObserver Z1 (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany). For immunocytochemistry (ICC), the cells were fixed in 4% buffered formalin, washed with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS and stained with GFAP (ab16997, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Iba1 (ab5076, Abcam), TNF-α (ab199013, Abcam) and TGF-β (ab92486, Abcam) antibodies at a working dilution of 1:100 for 1.5 h at RT, then washed and stained secondary antibodies. For staining the appropriate Iba1, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated anti-goat secondary antibodies ab150129 (Abcam), and for staining the appropriate GFAP, TNF-α and TGF-β, Alexa Fluor 647 conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibodies A-31573 (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) were used. After incubation for 30 min at RT, the cells were counterstained with 40,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (10 mg/mL in PBS, Sigma, St. Louis, MI, USA) to visualize the nuclei. The results were analyzed using an LSM 780 Confocal Microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Isolated neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes or mouse HL-1 cells were cultured on μ-Slides and fixed with 4% formaldehyde (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 28908) for 10 minutes at room temperature. Subsequently, cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 15 minutes at room temperature. Next, cells were blocked with 2% BSA (Sigma-Aldrich, A7030) and 1% donkey serum (Sigma-Aldrich, D9663) for 1 hour at room temperature, followed by primary antibody incubation at 4°C overnight in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed 3 times with PBS and incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature. Phalloidin (Invitrogen, 1:200) was added together with the secondary antibodies to visualize the cytoskeleton. Immunostainings were imaged using a Zeiss LSM780 confocal microscope and analyzed using Volocity software 6.5.1.

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.
