Anti human nuclear antigen hna

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Anti-human nuclear antigen (HNA) is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and identification of human nuclei in cell samples. It functions by binding to specific antigens present within the nuclei of human cells, allowing for their visualization and analysis.

Tracking Mitochondrial Transfer in Retina

Mitochondrial transfer was detected via immunofluorescence on flat mounted retina. To observe mitochondrial transfer to the retina following iPSC-MSC injection, TUBB3 was used to label neuronal cytoskeleton and Brn-3a was used to stain the nucleus of RGCs. Antibody against GFP (anti-GFP; RA5-22688, Invitrogen, USA), or against human mitochondria (anti-hMito; ab92824, Abcam, USA) were used to label human mitochondria originated from iPSC-MSCs. Anti-human nuclear antigen (HNA; Millipore, USA) was used to identify human cells. Retinal samples were examined using a laser scanning confocal microscope LSM700 or a time-lapse video recorder. To identify the precise location of the mitochondria in the mouse retina, z-stack scanning strategy, and orthogonal section of the retina were carried out for further image analysis. Evaluation of the average immunoreactivity of GFP signal from the retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL) was compared among different time points of post iPSC-MSC treatment.
To evaluate Müller cell activation following iPSC-MSC therapy, immunohistochemistry of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; G3893, Sigma, USA) on the retinal sections was performed.

Immunofluorescent Staining of Tissue Sections

Indirect immunofluorescence staining was performed using a standard procedure. In brief, tissues cryosectioned at a 4-μm thickness were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, blocked with 5% BSA/PBS (1 h, 24℃), washed twice with PBS, treated with 0.1% Triton X-100/PBS for 1 min, and washed extensively in PBS. The sections were stained with specific primary antibodies and fluorescent-conjugated secondary antibodies (Supplementary Table S2) using a M.O.M kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). The cells were counterstained with DAPI (4,6-diamino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride; Vector Laboratories). Mouse IgG (Dako, Carpinteria, CA) and rabbit IgG (Dako) antibodies was used as negative controls. To detect transplanted human cells, sections were immunofluorescently stained with anti-human nuclear antigen (HNA, Millipore). The stained sections were viewed with a DXM1200F fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). The processed images were analyzed for fluorescence intensity using the ImageJ software (NIH).

Tracking Stem Cell Migration in Lymph Nodes

The post-fixed cervical lymph nodes were cryoprotected in 30% sucrose, and frozen 10 μm thickness sections were prepared. The reporter green fluorescent protein gene expression in the cervical lymph nodes in rats from the Ad5-GFP and UCBC + Ad5-GFP groups was evaluated using fluorescence microscopy. For identification of human UCBC in lymph nodes in rats from the UCBC + Ad5-GFP and UCBC + Ad5-LTF groups, immunofluorescent staining was performed using mouse antibody (Ab) reacting with anti-human nuclear antigen (HNA) (1:150, Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). Secondary donkey Alexa Fluor 647 conjugated Ab (1:200, Invitrogen) was used for visualization of the primary Ab. Cell nuclear counterstaining was performed with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole − DAPI (10 μg/mL in PBS, Sigma). Processed sections were embedded in glycerol (GalenoPharm; Saint Petersburg, Russia) and examined with a luminescence microscope (Carl Zeiss Axioscope A1). UCBC (HNA-positive cells) were counted in UCBC + Ad5-GFP and UCBC + Ad5-LTF groups in 10 sections of the cervical lymph node from each rat. Cell counting was performed on digital images in an area of 300 × 240 µm. Average cell counts for each animal were standardized to the area of 1 mm2.

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.
