Fluorescence Microscopy of Immune Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Histological and immunofluorescence microscopy analyses were performed as described previously27 (link). The resulting immune complexes were visualized with a goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor 488) (ab150077, Abcam) or goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor 594) (ab150116, Abcam) secondary antibody. Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (VECTASHIELD Hardset Antifade Mounting Medium, H-1500, Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA). Images were acquired using an upright fluorescence microscope (BX61-32FDIC, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Microscopic Analysis of Luteolin-Induced Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell morphology was observed under an inverted phase-contrast microscope. Apoptotic changes were detected by Hoechst staining. Cells were seeded on cover slips and treated with luteolin for 24 h. The cover slips were then washed with PBS, and the cells were fixed and permeabilized with 100 % acetone at room temperature for 10 min. After washing with PBS, the cells were stained with Hoechst staining solution at 37 °C for 20 min. The cover slips were then washed with PBS, dried completely, and mounted on microscope slides. The slides were then observed under a fluorescence microscope (BX61-32FDIC; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 5 × 105 RAW 264.7 cells were seeded on the coverslips in 6-well plates. After 16 h, cells were pretreated with 10 μM papiliocin for 1 h before 50 ng/mL LPS treatment. After 30 min, the cells were fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized by 0.3% Triton X-100. After blocking (5% BSA), primary antibodies against p-NF-κB (Cell Signaling Technology, No. 3031, 1:50) or α-tubulin (Cell Signaling Technology, No. 3873, 1:200) were added for 90 min and then incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 (Invitrogen, No. A-28175) or Alexa Fluor 546 (Invitrogen, No. A-10040, 1:200) conjugated secondary antibodies for 40 min. We counterstained the nuclear region using Hoechst 33258 (Invitrogen, No. H3569, 1:200) and visualized by fluorescence microscope (BX61-32FDIC, Olympus) and analyzed by the MetaMorph Image analysis program (Molecular Devices).

Immunofluorescence assays were performed as previously described (32 (link)). Briefly, cells seeded onto glass coverslips and incubated overnight at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator, followed by treatment with STK899704. After 24 h, the cells were permeabilized, fixed with 100% acetone, and blocked with 0.1% (w/v) bovine serum albumin. The cells were incubated overnight with antibodies against α-tubulin at room temperature. Following incubation, the cells were treated with secondary anti-mouse antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Fluorescence images were obtained using a BX61-32FDIC (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) upright fluorescence microscope.

Immunofluorescence-based Protein Localization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence facilitates the identification of target protein localization. Cells were seeded on cover slips, fixed with acetone after 24 h and then washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The cover slips were incubated in PBS containing 0.5% respective primary antibodies specific to MUC1-C and β-catenin (1:500 with PBS) overnight at 4 °C. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-tagged secondary antibodies were then attached to primary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Nuclei were stained by DAPI (4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining. The cover slips were mounted on glass slides, and the cells were imaged by fluorescence microscopy (BX61-32FDIC, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Histological Analysis of Muscle Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin-embedded tissue sections (5 μm) were cut in the cross-sectional plane at the mid-portion of the muscle, deparaffinized in xylene, and rehydrated through an ethanol/water series. Tissue slides were then subjected to H&E staining. All slides were evaluated under an Eclipse Ni-U microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan), and images were acquired with a DS-Ri1 camera (Nikon) and analyzed using NIS Elements F4.00.00 version 4.0 (Nikon). For immunofluorescence microscopy, fixed frozen muscle sections (0.5 μm) were labeled with an anti-ferroportin antibody, and the resulting immune complexes were visualized with an Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (ab150077, Abcam) secondary antibody. Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Vectashield Hardset Antifade Mounting Medium, H-1500, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Images were acquired using an upright fluorescence microscope (BX61-32FDIC, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Visualizing Stress Responses in Plant Roots

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect the superoxide generation, fresh roots were treated with fluorescent probe dihydroethidium (DHE) [13] . For detection of H 2 O 2 generation in roots, the fluorescent probe, 3′-(p-hydroxyphenyl) fluorescein (HPF) (Invitrogen, USA) was used [14] . The cell death in roots was determined using propidium iodide (PI) treatment with minor modifications from the method of Kwon et al. [15] . For the in vivo detection of lignification of roots, fresh roots were incubated in 1% (w/v) phloro-Acta Biologica Hungarica 67, 2016 glucinol-HCl solution for 5 min as described by Rogers et al. [25] . The DHE, HPF and PI treated roots were photographed with a fluorescence microscope and associated software (BX61-32 FDIC, Olympus, Japan). The phloroglucinol treated roots were photographed using a Nikon 80i (Nikon, Japan) microscope and related software.

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.
