Cocultured THP1 cells were attached to slides with a cytospin, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline. To inhibit nonspecific signals, the slides were exposed to a blocking solution (2% normal goat serum) at room temperature for 2 hours. Then, the slides were incubated with antibodies against CD163 (1:300 dilution; Abcam Ltd., Cambridge, UK) and HLA-DR (an M1 macrophage marker) (1:300, Abcam Ltd.) overnight at 4°C. The slide was rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline three times and then incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:600; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) at room temperature for 2 hours. The samples were rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline three times before they were stained with 4’, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and examined under a fluorescence microscope (BX50; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Smeared semen was fixed in 100% acetone for 15 min at 4°C and stored at –80°C until use. After thawing and warming up to room temperature, the smears were permeabilised with 1% Triton X-100 in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, for 15 min. After washing three times for 15min with washing buffer [0.2% Tween 20 and 1% inactivated normal goat serum (INGS) in PBS], 5% INGS in PBS was added to block nonspecific sites on the spermatozoa for 50min. Anti-UCHL3 rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:50, Bioss, Beijing, China) was added, and the slides were incubated at 4°C overnight. The antibody diluent was PBS containing 0.5% Tween 20 and 1% INGS. Slides were washed with washing buffer more than three times for 15 min, and then the Alexa Fluor 488-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:2,000; Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was added. Thereafter, slides were washed once with washing buffer (10 min) and twice with PBS (10 min). The nucleus was stained with anti-fade VECTASHIELD® Mounting Medium, including DAPI (H-1200; Vector Laboratories Inc, Burlingame, CA, USA).
The negative control was performed in the same way by substituting non-immune rabbit serum for the primary antibody. Slides were observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica TCS-SP5, Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany).

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.
