Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For histological analysis, the endomyocardial and gastric and duodenal biopsy samples were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and paraffin embedded. Five microns–thick sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and Masson trichrome. For electron microscopy studies, additional biopsy samples were fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer, at pH 7.3, post-fixed in osmium tetroxide and processed by following a standard protocol for embedding in Epon resin. Ultrathin sections were stained with uranyl acetate substitute and lead hydroxide and analyzed by a JEOL-1400-plus electron microscope.
Assessment and comparison of mannose-6-phosphate receptors in the myocardial and intestinal tissues in Fabry disease patients:
To evaluate a possible receptor-mediated different ERT delivery in the myocardium and intestine, we determined the expression of mannose-6-phosphate receptor in frozen intestinal and myocardial tissue in all six patients before and after 2 years on ERT. Results were compared with values from normal myocardium and intestine.

Both the hydrodynamic diameter and the ζ-potential measurements were obtained on a Zetasizer, Zs90 (Malvern Instruments). Subsequent pSiNP size measurements were taken with particles dispersed in Dulbecco phosphate-buffer saline (DPBS), pH 7.4, while ζ-potential measurements were measured with particles dispersed in ethanol. The FTIR spectra of the particles were obtained by a Thermo Scientific Nicolet 6700 FTIR instrument fitted with a Smart iTR diamond ATR fixture. TEM images were obtained using a JEOL 1400 plus electron microscope (JEOL USA, Inc.) at 80KeV and subsequently imaged with a Gatan Oneview camera (Gatan, Inc.). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data were obtained using a TA Instruments Discovery SDT 650. Nanoparticle samples were heated from 100°C-800°C at a ramp rate of 10°C/min in nitrogen. Both weight (%) change and derivative heat flow values were assessed. Dye-loaded particle constructs were assessed using a Molecular Devices SpectraMax® iD5 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader. N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms were obtained using dry nanoparticles at a temperature of 77 K using a Micromeritics ASAP 202 instrument.

Nanoparticle Characterization and Degradation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Malvern Zetasizer Nano (Malvern Panalytical Ltd.) was used to determine the hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential of the nanoparticles. A Thermo Scientific Nicolet 6700 FTIR instrument fitted with a Smart iTR diamond ATR fixture was used to determine the FTIR spectra of the nanoparticles. A Genesys 150 UV/VIS Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used to evaluate the absorbance of FAM-peptide and a NanoSight LM10-HSB/GFT14 (Malvern Panalytical Ltd.) was used to determine the concentration of pSiNPs to calculate the number of peptides conjugated per pSiNP. For degradation studies, 0.5 mg/mL of lysozyme-loaded pSiNPs surface modified with PEG and CAQK were incubated in PBS at 37 °C. At 0, 12, 24, and 48 hours, aliquots of degraded nanoparticles were removed from the stock, pelleted, and resuspended into ethanol and loaded onto 42 μm formvar/carbon 400 mesh copper grids (Ted Pella, Inc.) and dried. The stock nanoparticles were similarly pelleted at each timepoint and resuspended in fresh PBS to ensure that degradation would not be stalled by the solubility of silicic acid in the supernatant.29 (link) TEM images were obtained on a JEOL 1400 plus electron microscope (JEOL USA, Inc.) operated at 80KeV and equipped with a Gatan Oneview camera (Gatan, Inc.).

Characterization of Nanoparticle Size and Zeta Potential

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The size and distribution of the NPs were determined, at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C, by dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis using a 90 Plus Particle Size Analyzer (Brookhaven Instruments Corporation, New York, USA). The samples were analyzed 24 h after preparation with a dilution ratio of 1/100 in distilled water, and the data were elaborated with the Contin method [34 (link)]. Each sample was measured six times, and the results were expressed as means ± standard deviation (SD). The zeta potential values of NPs were determined using the Zeta-sizer ZS (Malvern Instruments Ltd., Malvern, U.K.), at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C. The measurements were obtained after a dilution of 1/50 in distilled water, and the data were reported as the means of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. The morphology and size of the NPs were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (Jeol 1400 Plus electron microscope, JEOL ltd., Milano, Italy) after treatment with a 2% phosphotungstic acid solution.

Purifed PRV samples were inspected by transmission electron microscopy. Negative staining was performed by adsorbtion of the virus particles to 100 mesh carbon coated Formvar copper grids for 1 min, washed and stained with 4% aqueous uranyl acetate for 1–3 sec. Immunogold labelling was performed at room temperature using the following rabbit sera; Anti-σ1 #K275 [9 (link)] and Anti-σ3 #K267 [6 (link)]. Briefly, the samples were adsorbed to 100 mesh carbon coated Formvar copper grids for 1 min, incubated with primary antibody for 20 min (diluted 1/50 in 1% fish skin gelatine in PBS) followed by 20 min of proteinA gold (10 nm). Subsequently the grids were stained with 4% aqueous uranyl-acetate. Samples were examined either using a JEM 1400 Electron Microscope (JEOL Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a TVIPS TemCam-F216 camera (TVIPS GmbH, Gauting, Germany) or a JEOL 1400Plus Electron Microscope (JEOL Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a Ruby camera.

The size and morphology of SP micelles in various concentrations were inspected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using negative staining with uranyl acetate.
Negative staining was performed by placing a carbon-coated Fromvar copper grid (treated with glow discharge for 60 s) over a 40-µL drop of a sample of SP (0.5, 5, 10 and 15% (w/w) in water) for 5 min. Afterwards, the grid was washed with Milli-Q water and placed over a 20-µL drop of uranyl acetate (2% (w/w) in water) for 2 min. The excess of the uranyl acetate was blotted away with filter paper. After drying, the sample was examined using a JEOL 1400Plus Electron Microscope (JEOL Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a Ruby camera at 120 kV.

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.
