Cells grown on glass coverslips were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100, blocked in PBS, 5% BSA, 0.1% Tween 20, stained with anti γH2AX (Upstate) or anti-53BP1 antibodies (Novus Biologicals, 100-304) and counterstained with DAPI. For cyclin B1 staining cells were permeabilized with 0.5% Triton, blocked in 3% BSA and incubated with cyclin B1 (BD Pharmingen) and 53BP1 antibodies. Coverslips were scored by fluorescence microscopy and digital image acquisition on a Nikon Eclipse E1000 equipped with a DS-U3 CCD camera.
γH2AX and 53BP1 foci were stained by immunofluorescence in CCAR2+/+ and CCAR2−/− cells untreated or treated for 1h with etoposide and then released in drug free medium for the indicated time points. Foci were scored on >100 nuclei by fluorescence microscopy using a 100X magnification objective by two independent operators. Standard deviations were calculated on the mean values of at least three independent experiments. P values were determined by t-student test.

Cellular DNA content was measured using FxCycle PI (propidium iodide)/RNAse staining solution (Invitrogen, F10797) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cyclin B1 quantification was performed in cells fixed with BD fixation/permeabilization solution (BD, 554714, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Heidelberg, Germany) and stained with Cyclin B1-AF647 (Cell Signaling Technology, 4118). The samples were analysed using a BD Accuri C6 Plus flow cytometer (Becton–Dickinson) applying 535/5 nm excitation and emission collected in a 617/20 band-pass. Cells were gated according to their size and granularity; only morphologically intact host cells were included in the analysis. All analyses were performed in FlowJo v.10 software.

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.
