Tissues of all groups were fixed in phosphate-buffer containing 2.5% glutaraldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) for 2-3 h, post-fixed in 1% osmium tetraoxide (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) and dehydrated in a series of graded alcohols (50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 96 and 100% ethanol). After passing through propylene oxide (Sigma-Aldrich Co.), the specimens were embedded in Araldite CY 212 (Ciba-Geigy), (2-dodecen-1-yl)succinic anhydride (Sigma-Aldrich Co.), benzyldimethyl amine (Poly Sciences Inc.) and dibutylphtalate (Sigma-Aldrich Co.). The semi-thin sections were stained with toluidine blue (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) and examined with a photomicroscope (BH2 Olympus, Japan). After the selection of appropriate specimens, thin sections were cut and stained with uranyl acetate (ProSciTech) and lead citrate (Sigma-Aldrich Co.). They were examined by an electron microscope (Carl Zeiss EM 900, Germany).

Cells were fixed with half-strength Karnovsky fixative (2% PFA, 2.5% GA, 0.1 M PB, pH 7.4) for 2 h at RT. After scraping, cells were pelleted and embedded in 2% low melting point agarose. The cell pellets were postfixed as previously described [80 (link)] with 1% OsO4, 1.5% K3Fe(CN)6, in 0.065 M Na-cacodylate, stained en bloc with 0.5% uranyl acetate, dehydrated in acetone and embedded in Epon composed of glycid ether (Serva, 21045.02), 2-dodecenylsuccinic acid anhydride (Serva, 20755.02), methyl nadic anhydride (Serva, 29452.03) and benzyldimethylamine (PolyScience, 00141–100) mixed in weight ratio 48:32:20:3. Ultrathin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate.

The semi-thin sections were stained with toluidine blue (Sigma-Aldrich Co.), and examined with a photomicroscope (Leica DM4000, Germany). After the selection of appropriate specimens, thin sections were cut and stained with uranyl acetate (Pro Sci Tech) and lead citrate (Sigma-Aldrich Co.). They were examined by means of an electron microscope (Carl Zeiss EM 900, Germany) (17) .

Electron Microscopy Tissue Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues from all the groups were fixed in phosphate buffered solution (Ph= 7.3) containing 2.5% glutaraldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) for 2 h at room temperature, post-fixed in 1% osmium tetraoxide (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) and dehydrated in a series of graded alcohols (50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% ethanol). After passing through propylene oxide (Sigma-Aldrich Co.), the specimens were embedded in Araldite CY 212 (Ciba-Geigy), (2-dodecen-1-yl) succinic anhydride (Sigma-Aldrich Co.), benzyldimethylamine (Poly Sciences Inc.) and dibutylphtalate (Sigma-Aldrich Co.). The semi-thin sections were stained with toluidine blue (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) and examined with a photomicroscope (DM 500 Leica, Germany). After the selection of appropriate specimens, thin sections were cut, stained with uranyl acetate (ProSciTech) and lead citrate (Sigma-Aldrich Co.), and examined via an electron microscope by two blinded histologists (Leo 906 e Carl Zeiss, 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.
