Aptamer-Based Cellular Localization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5637 cells (3 × 105) were seeded into a 35-mm optical vessel. After incubation at 37 °C for 24 h, 5637 cells were treated with 250 nM FAM-labeled aptamer BC-3. The supernatant was removed after incubation for 1 h and 5637 cells was added 200 nM of ER-tracker (C1041, Beyotime) solution or lysosome-tracker (C1046, Beyotime) separately at 37 °C for 30 min. Fluorescence signals were detected by Zeiss LSM510. All experiments were repeated three times.

ER-tracker green (40763ES20, Yisheng Biotech, Shanghai, China) and Lyso-tracker red (40739ES50, Yisheng) dyes were used to identify ER-phagy. Briefly, human NP cells were mounted on glass coverslips in a 6-well plate. After the treatment, cells were stained with the recommended concentrations of ER-tracker, Lyso-tracker, and Hoechst 33342 (Beyotime) for 30 min at 37°C, washed three times with PBS, and then observed the fluorescence using a fluorescence microscope (Olympus).

Visualizing ER and RHO in ARPE19 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ARPE19 cells were cultured on coverslips of confocal dishes and transfected with the pEGFP-N1 vector carrying WT or mutant RHO. Twenty-four hours post-transfection, cells were washed and stained with ER-Tracker (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) according to the protocols. Cells were washed with 1 × PBS 3 times to clear the dyes. After staining with Hoechst 33,258 (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) at 37 °C for 20–30 min, cells were observed by fluorescence confocal microscopy (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.
