Sections were examined with a Leica TSC SP5 II confocal microscope (cLSM). Z-series were processed with NIH ImageJ, v. 1.8 (Rasband WS, ImageJ, U.S. National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/), producing maximum projections. Images were processed in Adobe Photoshop 6.0 (San Jose, CA) using global contrast and brightness adjustment features as well as black and white inversion.

Cells were washed in PBS, followed by fixation in 4% PFA for 10 minutes, and washed again in PBS prior to antibody labeling. Cells were first permeabilized with 0.25% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 10% serum for up to 2 hours. Primary antibody labeling was performed overnight at 4°C in 3% serum. Primary antibody was washed and replaced with secondary antibody in 3% serum at room temperature for 60 minutes. The cells were then washed and counterstained with DAPI before mounting on slides. Images were acquired on a Nikon Eclipse Ti-E inverted microscope or on a Leica TSC SP5 II confocal microscope.

Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol

Cells were washed in Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS) then incubated in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. Fixation was quenched using 0.1 M glycine solution for 5 min, followed by two washes with DPBS. Cells were permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100 for 5 min and blocked in 10% goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. Primary antibodies in 3% goat serum were then applied overnight at 4 °C and washed three times before incubation with secondary antibody in 3% goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. Cells were washed, stained with DAPI and mounted with Fluoromount (Thermo Fisher). Images were taken using a Leica TSC SP5 II confocal microscope.

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.
