Confocal Imaging of Immunolabeled Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells grown on Lab-Tek four-well glass chamber slides (NUNC) were incubated in HBSS or medium containing appropriate reagents for the indicated times. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 5 min. They were washed with PBS and incubated with primary antibodies and subsequently with secondary antibody conjugates (Alexa Fluor 594 donkey anti-mouse IgG and/or Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-rabbit IgG; Invitrogen). Images were collected using a laser scanning confocal microscope LSM710 (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) equipped with argon (488 nm) and krypton (568 nm) lasers, using an x40 water immersion objective. Images were processed with ZEN 2009 light edition (Carl Zeiss).

The cells were seeded in four-well glass chamber slides (Nunc, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA). After transfection for 24 h, the cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde and stained with 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and anti-BEND5 antibody (1:1000, Sigma-Aldrich, SAB2700049, Taiwan, ROC). Images were captured using the Olympus IX71 Inverted Microscope System (Olympus America, Center Valley, PA, USA).

Ethanol- or TCS-treated hMSCs were seeded at 2,000 cells per square centimeter on four-well glass chamber slides (Nalge Nunc International, Rochester, NY, USA), and the cells were incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma) for 30 minutes, and then permeabilized with 1% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes followed by blocking for 1 hour with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS. The cells were incubated with 1:100 dilution of antibodies against Nrf2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 4 hours at room temperature, and then incubated fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated secondary antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at a 1:5,000 dilution in 1% BSA-containing PBS for 1 hour at room temperature in the dark. The nuclei were stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenyindole (DAPI) (Sigma) and then examined using a Zeiss LSM700 scanning laser confocal microscope (Zen 2011; Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GHBH, Jena,Germany).

Quantitative Imaging of Cellular Structures

Cells grown on Lab-Tek four-well glass chamber slides (NUNC), were incubated in medium or medium containing staurosporine (1 μM) for the indicated times. In some experiments, the cells were incubated with Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated wheat germ agglutinin (2.5 μg/ml) for 10 min at 37 °C and washed twice with HBSS. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X100 PBS or fixed with methanol. The fixed cells were stained with the appropriate Ab and mounted with DAPI-containing mounting medium (Vector Laboratories Ltd, Peterborough, UK). Images were collected using a laser scanning confocal microscope LSM710 (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) equipped with argon (488 nm) and krypton (568 nm) lasers and using a x40 water immersion objective. Images were processed with ZEN 2009 light edition (Carl Zeiss).

Immunostaining of S. aureus-challenged cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining was performed as described earlier (33 (link), 34 ). Briefly, cells were cultured on four well glass chamber slides (Fisher Scientific, Rochester, NY) and pre-treated with 4μ8C (IRE1α inhibitor) 1h before S. aureus challenge. Following stimulation, cells were washed three time with PBS and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min. Cells were permeabilized with an ethanol: acetic acid mixture (2:1) at −20°C for 10 min. and washed. The fixed cells were blocked in 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature followed by incubation with primary antibodies (1:100 dilution) overnight at 4°C. Cells were washed with PBS and incubated with specific fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:200 dilutions) for 1h at room temperature. Following incubation cells were washed with PBS and mounted in Vectashield anti-fade mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories). Slides were visualized using an Eclipse 90i fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY)

661W cells were cultured on four well glass chamber slides (Fisher Scientific, Rochester, NY) and stimulated with S. aureus and different TLR agonists for 8h. The cells were washed three times with PBS and fixed for 15 min. in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. After washing, the cells were permeabilized for 10 min. with an ethanol:acetic acid mixture (2:1) at -20°C and washed once more. The fixed cells were then blocked in 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature, followed by incubation with primary antibodies (1:100 dilution) overnight at 4°C. Following removal of the primary antibodies, the cells were washed extensively with PBS and incubated for 1h with specific fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:200 dilution) at room temperature. Finally, the cells were again extensively washed with PBS and the slides were mounted in Vectashield anti-fade mounting medium (Vector Laboratories) and visualized using an Eclipse 90i fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY).

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.
