Click it system

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Click-IT™ system is a set of reagents and protocols designed for the detection and analysis of DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. The core function of the Click-IT™ system is to enable the incorporation of modified nucleotides into newly synthesized DNA, which can then be detected and visualized using various detection methods.

The nucleoside analog, 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU), was injected intraperitoneally (25 μg/g body weight) 4 hours before tissue harvesting. Incorporated EdU was detected using the Click-IT™ system (Invitrogen) and analyzed by flow cytometry (BD Canto II).

For the visualization of replicating DNA and epigenetic marks of heterochromatic blocks, female Microtus cabrerae cells were transiently transfected with CFP-PCNA and were pulse labeled for 20 min with 10 µM 5′-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA, Cat #: C10337) followed by a 1-h chase prior fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde. EdU was detected with the ClickIT system (Invitrogen) and AlexaFluor 488 followed by an immunostaining with rabbit anti-H3K27me3 (1/200, Upstate, Lake Placid, USA, Cat #: 07-449) and with mouse anti-H3K9me3 (1/100, Active Motif, Carlsbad, USA, Cat #: 39285). The following secondary antibodies were used: donkey anti-mouse IgG-Cy3 (1/200, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbour, USA, Cat #: 715-166-151) and donkey anti-rabbit IgG-Cy5 (1/200, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, USA, Cat #: 711-175-152). DNA was counterstained with 1 µg/ml DAPI for 10 min at RT, and cells were mounted afterward in Vectashield antifade (Vector Laboratories) (Fig. 2).

Detecting Dynamic Palmitoylation of Cdc42

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine dynamic palmitoylation, click chemistry using the Click-IT system from Invitrogen according to the manufacturer’s instruction was performed. Therefore, N1E-115 cells were transfected with GFP-tagged Cdc42-palm. 12 h after transfection; the cells were either incubated with 50 μM palmitic acid azide or just dimethyl sulfoxide for additional 4 h. After the cells got lysed, 200 μg of total protein were incubated with 40 μM biotin alkylene in the presence of 2 mM CuSO4. The cell lysates were further processed by methanol–chloroform precipitation. Additionally, cell lysates were immune-precipitated with polyclonal rabbit GFP antibody and protein A-Sepharose. After washing, the protein complex was eluted, purified by trichloroacetic acid-acetone precipitation, and lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Former palmitoylated Cdc42-palm was detected using a HRP-conjugated Biotin antibody (1:500), whereas total Cdc42-palm was detected using a HRP-conjugated GFP antibody (1:1000).

Avian Embryo Labeling and Staining

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chick and emu embryos were windowed at HH18 and 100μL of 20mM EDU was injected between the embryo and the yolk. Embryos were incubated for 30 minutes following injection and then fixed in 4% formaldehyde and imbedded in 7.5% gelatin and 7.5% sucrose. EDU was visualized using the Click-It® system (ThermoFisher). Anti-laminin (Sigma L9393) was used at 1:50, phalloidin (ThermoFisher A12381) was used at 1:100, anti-Pax3 (R&D Systems AF2457) was used at 1:50), anti-GFP (Abcam Ab6556) and anti-RFP (Sigma SAB2702214) were used at 1:500.

In Vivo Cell Proliferation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For in vivo proliferation studies, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1 mg of 5-(ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine) (EdU) 24 hours prior to sacrifice. In preparation for subsequent flow cytometry analysis, cell populations were immunostained as described above, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and further treated for EdU staining following the manufacturer’s instructions of the Click-iT System (ThermoScientific). AlexaFluor647-conjugated azide was used to detect incorporated EdU. Stained cells were analyzed by LSRII using the BD Diva software and analyzed by FlowJo. Proliferation was quantified and expressed as percentage of EdU-positive cells.

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.
