Immunostaining of Pectoral Fins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pectoral fins were fixed overnight (o/n) at 4°C in a solution of 20% DMSO (Sigma, #D8418) in Methanol (MetOH). The following day, fins were rehydrated in MetOH/PBST0.3 (0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS-phosphate buffered saline) series, and then permeabilized with acetone for 20 minutes (min) at −20°C. After several washes with PBST0.3, fins were included for at least 1 hour in blocking solution (1% BSA, 1% goat serum, 1% DMSO in PBST0.3) at room temperature (R.T.). Incubation with primary antibody (ab.), diluted in blocking solution, took place o/n at 4°C. Non-conjugated antibody was removed by several washes with PBST0.3 and appropriate secondary alexa fluor ab. (Molecular Probes) was diluted in blocking solution, and left o/n at 4°C in the dark. Several washes with PBST0.3 were performed to remove the excess ab., and samples were counterstained with 0.15% (w/v) DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, Sigma #D9564) in PBS, for 30 min. At the end, fins were washed in PBS and stored in mounting medium (2% DABCO, Sigma #D2522 and 80% Glycerol in PBS) for microscope analysis.

H9C2 cells were grown on coverslips in 24-well plates. After co-transfection with pmCherry-IRF8 and pEGFP-NFATc1 for 48 h, the cells were fixed using 4% fresh paraformaldehyde for 15 min, followed by three washes with PBS and 5 min of permeabilization with 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS, followed by incubation in an Image-IT FX signal enhancer (I36933, Invitrogen) for 30 min. Subsequently, the cells were washed three times with TBST and were stained with DAPI (1 g ml−1, 15 min). The slides were mounted with mounting solution (D2522, Sigma), and images were acquired using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (Fluoview 1000; Olympus).

Imaging Techniques for Embryo Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Embryos 24 h and older were deyolked in 70% glycerol/30% sterile water using mounting pins. For lateral and dorsal views of the embryo, whole embryos were mounted in 70% glycerol in coverslip sandwiches (24 × 60 mm coverslips; VWR, 48393-106), with 2–4 coverslips (22 × 22 mm; VWR, 16004-094) on either side of the sample to avoid sample compression. For ventral views of putative taste receptors, the trunk was dissected with a razor blade and the head carefully inverted on to a 24 × 60 mm coverslip and a similar coverslip sandwich made. For lateral views of eyes, they were dissected from forebrain using mounting pins and mounted as for whole embryos, but using only 1–2 coverslips each side of the specimen. Cross-sections were cut by hand using a razor blade mounted in a 12 cm blade holder (World Precision Instruments, Cat. #14134). Differential interference contrast (DIC) pictures were taken using an AxioCam MRc5 camera mounted on a Zeiss Axio Imager M1 compound microscope. A Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope was used to image embryos mounted in DABCO (1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, Sigma, D-2522, 2% w/v solution in 80% sterile glycerol) for fluorescent double-labeling experiments. Images were processed using Adobe Photoshop software (Adobe, Inc) and Image J software (Abràmoff et al., 2004 ).

Immunofluorescent LC3 Staining Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For LC3 staining, samples were fixed in ice‐cold methanol for 5 min at room temperature, followed by rehydration in PBS and processing for immunofluorescence. Serum starvation in 0.5% FBS was included as a control for induction of LC3 puncta. Fixed samples were rinsed 3–5 times in blocking buffer (2% BSA, 0.1% Triton X‐100, 0.1% NaN3 in PBS). Samples were incubated with LC3 diluted in blocking buffer for 1 h at room temperature. Samples were rinsed 3–5 times in blocking buffer for 5–10 min each before incubating in secondary antibodies (1 : 500) for 45 min at room temperature. Secondary antibodies and phalloidin were diluted in blocking buffer. Samples were rinsed 3–5 times in PBS, 5–10 min each, and then mounted in Mowiol mounting medium (0.1 M Tris/HCl, pH 8.5, 25% glycerol, 10% Mowiol 4‐88; 475904, Calbiochem, 2% DABCO; D2522, Sigma). All secondary fluorescently labelled antibodies were highly cross‐absorbed secondary antibodies from Jackson ImmunoResearch, Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti‐Rabbit (711‐545‐152) and Rhodamine (TRITC) Anti‐Mouse (715‐025‐151), used at 1 : 500.

Morphological Analysis of Aortic and Carotid Arteries

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The aortic root, aortic arch, brachiocephalic and carotid arteries
were removed en bloc, pinned down to maintain tissue
morphology and fixed in 10% formaldehyde for 48h (n=4 per group). Tissues
were embedded in paraffin and sectioned transversely (5-μm thick).
Verhoeff-Van Gieson elastin staining (HT25A-1KT, Sigma, Dorset, UK) and
Trichrome Stain (Masson) Kit (HT15-1KT, Sigma, Dorset, UK) were used to
investigate vessel wall morphology and elastin and collagen fibres,
respectively. Immunohistochemistry for tropoelastin was performed using an
anti-mouse rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:100, Abcam, ab21600, Cambridge, MA,
USA). Vessel wall area was calculated using the Verhoeff-Van Gieson images
as [adventitia area−the luminal area (mm2)] using ImageJ
(NIH). The immunopositive areas were segmented and expressed as normalized
tropoelastin area (%tropoelastin= tropoelastin immunopositive area/vessel
wall area) × 100. Fluorescent microscopy was performed using a custom
synthesized rhodamine-labeled VVGS peptide derivative (rhod-VVGS). Sections
were incubated with a 200nM solution for 24h at 4°C followed by
nuclear counterstain using Hoechst (ThermoFischer 33342, 1:3000, for 15 min
at room temperature). Slides were shielded from light at all times and
mounted with a Mowiol containing 2.5% 1,4-diazobicyclo-[2.2.2]-octane
(DABCO, Sigma, D2522) medium.

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.
