Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cryosections of optimum cutting temperature (OCT) embedded CD1 tissues were incubated with monoclonal anti-TSP-1 (1:200; Abcam). After overnight incubation in the primary antibody solution and blocking buffer, the samples were exposed to goat anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 568 secondary antibody (1:200; Invitrogen). Finally, the nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Invitrogen). The samples were coverslipped with DAKO mounting media (DAKO). Scleras and retinas were imaged with a Zeiss LSM 710 Confocal Microscope (Zeiss MicroImaging, Thornwood, NY) at the peripapillary region using a 20X lens. We used two control procedures in the mouse sclera tissue when we used antibodies generated in mice against the molecules studied. First, we blocked immunoglobulin (IgG) labeling with serum, and, second, we treated some control sclera after we omitted the primary antibody as controls. These procedures demonstrated that there was no detectable non-specific labeling. Masked observers graded the amount of Thrombospondin 1 and Hint1 in the scleral sections of the control and glaucomatous tissues. Images were evaluated on a scale of 1–5; 1 was the lowest signal, and 5 was the highest. Individual and average gradings from each observer were statistically analyzed.

Phenylthiourea treated and anaesthetized EGUSG larvae at 2.5 dpf were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). To enhance permeability, larvae were incubated in 0.1% trypsin and 0.5% hyaluronidase in PBS for 1 h and 1.5 h, respectively.

C57BL/6J (p53-/-) MEFs (8 x 105) were plated in 10-cm plates. The next day cells were incubated with 100 ng/ml Nocodazole (Sigma) for 6 h and mitotic cells harvested using the shake-off method. At this point supernatant was taken for the t=0 time point. Mitotic cells (1 x 105) were then plated per well of a 12-well plate; or 7 x 104 on coverslips for immunofluorescence analysis. Asynchronous cells were plated at the same number concurrently. Supernatants were taken and coverslips fixed at 6, 16 and 22 h. Immune response was analysed by ELISA and coverslips were pre-extracted on ice using 0.5% Triton-X100 in PBS for 5 min, cells were then fixed with 4% PFA for 15 min at room temperature (RT). After blocking for 30 min with 3% BSA at RT, γH2AX Ser139 (05-636 Millipore) was added for 2 hr at RT. Alexa Fluor 568 goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (Life technologies) was then applied and incubated for 1 h at RT. Coverslips were mounted using Vectashield antifade mounting medium with DAPI (Vector laboratories) and imaged at RT using a Coolsnap HQ CCD camera (Photometrics) and a Zeiss Axioplan II fluorescence microscope with x40 and x63 Plan-neofluar objectives and acquired using micromanager (http://open-imaging.com/) n≥100 cells per condition (n=1).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The infection status of R. parkeri infected (Rp+) ticks was confirmed by immunolocalization. This was done using unfed and partially fed salivary glands and ovarian tissues. Dissected tissues were fixed in 4% PFA and 4% sucrose diluted in 1X PBS and kept at 4°C until needed. Fixed samples were washed three times in 1X PBS prior to permeabilization. Samples were permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100 in PBS for 30 min followed by blocking in 2% BSA in PBS for an additional 1 h. Tissues were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-Rickettsia antibody (M14-13, 1:500, kindly provided by Dr. Ted Hackstadt) that recognizes R. parkeri in 1X PBS containing 2% BSA. This was followed by incubation in the dark with Alexa-Fluor 568 goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (1,500, Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Eugene, Oregon, United States) in 1X PBS containing 2% BSA. Samples were washed three times to remove unbound antibodies and mounted on glass slides using VECTASHIELD antifade mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA, United States).

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.
