Cells growing on coverslips in six-well plates were exposed to HPK or HSi at equivalent protein concentrations (20 μg/well) according to our previously established procedures (52 (link)). Briefly, cells were treated on ice for 1 h to promote receptor binding but not internalization, washed to remove unbound protein, and warmed to 37°C to promote synchronized uptake and intracellular trafficking. Cells were fixed at various time points after warming and then processed for immunofluorescence identification of HPK or HSi using an antibody that recognizes the polyhistidine tag (RGS-His antibody; Qiagen). Antibodies for RAB7 and EEA1 were purchased from Abcam (ab50533 and ab206860, respectively). Samples were imaged using a Leica SPE laser scanning confocal microscope. Acquired images were imported to ImageJ and split into individual channels. Individual cells in selected channels were delineated, and integrated densities were measured for each selected area.

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.
