The chip device was taken out of the incubator for fixation, and the lid was carefully removed in a sterile biosafety cabinet. The kidney organoids adherent on the surface of the ECM were rinsed with PBS, carefully overlaid with 4% PFA, and fixed for 45 min at RT. After fixation, the samples were washed three times with 0.1% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. Organoids were stained and cleared with ethyl cinnamate (Sigma-Aldrich), as described before (78 (link)). The following antibodies were used in these studies: anti-CDH1 (Abcam, ab11512), anti-CFTR (Sigma-Aldrich, HPA021939), anti-LTL (Vector Laboratories, B-1325), anti-PODXL (R&D Systems, AF1658), anti-KI67 (Dako, m7248), anti-pS6RP (Cell Signaling Technology, 2211S), anti-RAC1 (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, CPTC-RAC1-2), and anti-FOS (Abcam, ab190289). Samples were examined with a Zeiss TIRF/LSM 710 confocal microscope or a Leica STELLARIS 8 confocal microscope and by using Imaris 3D software (Bitplane).

Imaging Neonatal Mouse Lungs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lungs from P7 neonatal mice treated with PBS or BMP9 were perfused with heparinized PBS before harvest and inflation via the trachea with 0.75% Phytagel (Sigma Aldrich). Lungs were then fixed overnight at 4 °C in 4% PFA and dehydrated by sequential overnight incubations in 50% ethanol at pH 9, 70% ethanol at pH 9, and 2 nights at 100% ethanol, respectively. Following dehydration, tissues were incubated overnight in ethyl cinnamate (Sigma Aldrich) for clarification before imaging on a Leica SP8 2-photon microscope.

Intravital Imaging of Lung Vasculature

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Naïve or 4 days following PR8 infection (I.N. or I.T.) mice were intravitally stained for VCAM-1+ and ICAM-1+ lung vessels by I.V. injection of 5 μg of Alexa-647 anti-VCAM-1 (CD106) mAb (BD Bioscience, Cat. 561612, clone 429 (MVCAM.A)) or Alexa-568 conjugated anti-ICAM-1(CD54) mAb (Biolegend, Cat. 116101, clone YN1/1.7.4) 5 minutes prior to euthanasia. Mice were transcardially perfused with PBS and the lungs were inflated via the trachea with low-gelling agarose (Sigma Aldrich, Cat. A9045), fixed with paraformaldehyde (4% in PBS) for 2 hours, dehydrated, and cleared using ethyl cinnamate (Sigma Aldrich, Cat. 112372) as described (18 (link)). Cleared lung lobes were imaged in an Ultramicroscope II (LaVision BioTec) operated by the ImspectorPro software (LaVision BioTec, Bielefeld, Germany) as described (18 (link)). For the visualization of PR8 mice were I.T. infected with 3x103 PFU of PR8-mCherry and lungs were imaged 4 days later. The three-dimensional rendering of LSM was performed via Imaris software (Oxford Instruments, Abingdon, UK).

Profiling Ginger Phytochemicals from Diverse Sources

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Twenty ginger samples from different origins were purchased from different vendors through Amazon.com, and two ginger samples were collected from Sagamu and Zaria districts of Nigeria (details provided in Supplementary Table S1). All samples were in the form of dry powder. Six-gingerol (6G, ≥ 98% purity), 8-gingerol (8G, ≥ 95% purity), 10-gingerol (10G, ≥ 95% purity), ethyl cinnamate, cinnamyl acetate, 8-shogaol, and MTT were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Six-paradol was purchased from Adooq (Irvine, CA, USA), while pinolenic acid was sourced from Santa Cruz (Dallas, TX, USA). Deionized water was prepared using a Milli-Q purification system (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). LC–MS grade acetonitrile, methanol, and formic acid were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Ethanol was purchased from Decon Laboratories, Inc. (King of Prussia, PA, USA). Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was purchased from Fisher Scientific (Pittsburgh, PA, USA).

Lung-Accumulated Human Blood ILC2 Visualization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For light-sheet microscopic visualization of lung-accumulated human blood ILC2s, the lung tissue was prepared as described elsewhere (50 (link)). In short, lung lobes were fixed in 4% PFA for 2 h at 4°C under constant rotation. Dehydration was performed in an ascending ethanol series of 50, 70, and 100% (2x) for at least 4 h each. Dehydrated samples were then cleared with ethyl cinnamate (Sigma) at room temperature and imaged with the UltraMicroscope II (LaVision, BioTec). 3D reconstruction and quantification of accumulated human blood ILC2s within the pulmonary tissue were performed with the Imaris Image Analysis software 9.0.2 (Bitplane) as described in detail earlier (49 (link)). Accumulated labeled cells were counted in 2 to 3 lung cubes with defined volume per lung with a mean cell count of 156 labeled ILC2s per lung cube.

Fluorescent Nuclear Staining and Optical Tissue Clearing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue samples were stained with a fluorescent nuclear stain, TO-PRO-3 (Cat: T3605, Thermo-Fisher) at a 1:2000 dilution and eosin (Cat: 3801615, Leica Biosystems) at a 1:2000 dilution for 4 hours at room temperature with light shaking. Samples were optically cleared with ethyl-cinnamate (Cat: 112372, Sigma-Aldrich). Stained and cleared samples were imaged on a custom OTLS system [14 (link)]. A 660-nm laser was used to excite the nuclear dye, TO-PRO3, and a 561-nm laser was used to excite eosin. Each channel was imaged separately, in succession, with a 16-bit sCMOS camera. For more information on OTLS imaging see our previous publications [12 (link)–14 (link)].

Optical clearing of bone samples was carried out as previously described.[66 (link)] Briefly, fixed samples were dehydrated in a graded ethanol series, followed by incubation in ethyl cinnamate (Sigma). Optically cleared samples were immersed in ethyl cinnamate and imaged on a light sheet microscope (LaVision BioTec). Bone scaffolds were imaged using the 488 nm laser to detect calcein and the 561 laser to detect Cy3(+)-SNPs. Tibiae were imaged using the 488 nm laser to detect calcein and the 640 laser to detect Cy5(+)-SNPs. Arivis Vision4D and ImageJ were used to process light sheet microscopy images.

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.
