Fixed pancreatic tissue sections were blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 5% normal goat serum in PBS for 1 hr before incubating with the primary antibody (anti-insulin, 1:100, Cell Signalling) diluted in 3% BSA in PBS at 4°C overnight. After washing in PBS, the appropriate fluorescent secondary antibody was used (Alexa Fluor) in 3% BSA in PBS for 2 hr at room temperature. Sections were then washed in PBS before mounting with gel mount containing DAPI (VECTASHIELD). Images were taken using a Leica DM4000 B LED fluorescent microscope using a 40x objective, or a Leica DMi8 TCSP8 confocal using a 40x objective.

Histological Assessment of Pancreas and Liver

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pancreas sections were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, cut into 5 μm sections, and rehydrated by xylene and declining grades of ethanol for 5 min. Then, they were washed three times for HE staining. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent tests were performed using anti-PDX-1 (Abcam, UK, ab47383) antibody and anti-insulin (Cell Signaling Technology, USA, #4590S) antibody. Frozen livers were sliced, and Oil Red O staining was performed as described earlier [30 (link), 31 (link)] using the Oil Red O Stain Kit (Lipid Stain) (SenBeiJia Biological Technology, China, BP-DL101). According to the instructions of the kit, the Oil Red O solution was added dropwise onto the tissue for a 5-10 min incubation period. Excess staining buffer was removed with 85% propylene glycol. The tissues were washed with distilled water and counterstained with hematoxylin.

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.
