Immunoprecipitation was performed with protein G agarose beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the standard procedures. Briefly, cells after transfection were incubated in IP lysis buffer for 30 min at room temperature. The extracts were incubated with anti-LeY-antibody (2 μg/mL), and the protein G agarose beads were incubated with goat anti-mouse IgM (62-6820, Invitrogen) (1:100) at 4 °C overnight. The beads were washed for three times with washing buffer and the immunoprecipitants were purified by protein G agarose beads with gentle rocking for 3 h. Finally, the beads were washing for five times with washing buffer and added in 50 μl SDS-loading buffer. The whole cell lysates were incubated at 70 °C for 15 min followed with western blot analysis.

Cell proliferation was assessed by immunofluorescence staining of paraffin-embedded sections with antibodies to pH3 (1:100) and Ki67 (Abcam, #ab15580, 1:500). Secondary antibodies included goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, #A21429, 1:1,000) and goat anti-mouse IgM (Invitrogen, #A21042, 1:1,000). DAPI staining was used for visualization of cell nuclei and cells in anaphase or telophase versus prometaphase or metaphase. Apoptosis was analyzed with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling (TUNEL) with a TUNEL assay kit (Roche, #12156792910). Sections were imaged with confocal microscopy and quantitatively analyzed with ImageJ.60 (link) All primer sequences are provided in Table S5.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum samples obtained from all mice groups at different age intervals were tested for the presence of total immunoglobulins and anti-dsDNA antibodies using ELISA assays. In the case of total immunoglobulin detection, microplates were coated with 2 µg/ml goat anti-mouse IgG (Southern Biotech) or IgM. Following blocking, serially diluted immunoglobulin (Ig) standards (IgG, Catalog# I5381, Sigma-Aldrich; mouse IgM, catalog# 010-0107, Rockland) or serum samples were added into the microplate. After a two-hour incubation at room temperature, the bound Igs were detected with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Catalog# 2040-04, Southern Biotech) or goat anti-mouse IgM (Catalog# 626822, Invitrogen). Subsequently, quantification was carried out by measuring the absorbance at 405 nm. For the detection of IgG anti-dsDNA antibodies, 100 μg/ml of mBSA in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was applied to pre-coat the plates at 37°C for thirty minutes prior to the incubation of dsDNA standards (Catalog# D1501, Sigma) with an initial concentration at 1250 ng/ml. Serum samples were diluted 1:50 in PBS and added to the plates for a two-hour incubation. Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG was used as the detection antibody.

Tissue was fixed in 4% formalin and dehydrated in a tissue processing machine (Leica ASP300, Leica) overnight. After paraffin embedding, tissue was cut into 3μm sections and mounted onto Superfrost objective slides. For initial deparaffinization, the slides were incubated at 80°C for 1h. The slides were then deparaffinized in xylene and cooked in citrate buffer for 40min (Target Retrieval Solution; DAKO). 5% bovine serum albumin (Albumin Fraction V; Roth) plus 0.5% Triton X 100 (Roth) in PBS was used for blocking for 1h. Goat anti-mouse IgM (Invitrogen) and donkey anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen) antibodies were incubated in 5% bovine serum albumin plus 0.5% Triton X 100 overnight at +4°C, followed by three washes with PBS. DAPI (1:10,000; Boehringer) was added for 30min. After washing with PBS, coverslips were mounted using Mowiol solution. Images were taken with a BZ-9000 fluorescence microscope (BioRevo, Keyence).

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.
