Immunofluorescent Staining of Cells in Collagen Matrix

Cells in the collagen matrix were fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde phosphate buffer solution (Wako, Japan) at room temperature for 30 min. Then, the samples were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and blocked using PBS containing 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma, USA) at room temperature for 1 h. After removing the blocking buffer, anti-mouse PHEX (Sigma) was added to the sample and incubated at 4 °C overnight. After incubation with the primary antibody, the samples were rinsed twice with PBS. Then, the sample was permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X (MP Biomedicals, USA) for 20 min. After rinsing twice with PBS, the samples were subjected to incubation with the secondary antibody (Anti-rabbit IgG Alexa Fluor 488, Invitrogen, USA), actin (Alexa Fluor 546 phalloidin, Invitrogen), and DAPI staining at room temperature for 1 h. Finally, the samples were rinsed twice with PBS and observed under a confocal microscope (FV3000, Olympus, Japan). Imaging data were processed using Imaris (Bitplane, UK) and ImageJ (NIH, USA).

Cytotoxicity Assay for Tumor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Splenic CD8+ T cells (4 × 106/ml) were isolated from transplanted mice 21 d after allo-BMT, purified with a CD8+ T-cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec), and used as effector cells. MBL-2, P185 BCR-ABL1 Arf null, and Ik6 tumor cells were labeled by incubating 2 × 106 cells with 2 MBq of Na251CrO4 (PerkinElmer Life) for 2 h at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere and were used as target cells. After washing, 4 × 103 labeled targets were resuspended and added to triplicate wells at varying effector-to-target ratios and then incubated for 4 h. Maximal and minimum release was determined by the addition of Triton-X (MP Biomedicals) or media alone to targets, respectively. Supernatants were transferred to a Luma plate (PerkinElmer) after 4 h and 51Cr activity was determined using an autogamma counter (Packard).

Immunofluorescence Characterization of Myogenesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cultured cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 min at 4 °C, subsequently permeabilized in 0.1% triton-X (MP Biomedicals, USA) for 5 min at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum for 1 h at 37 °C. Incubations with primary antibodies to MyHC (1:200; eBioscience, #14-6503-82), c-casp3 (1:200; Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA, USA #9664), and MYOD1 (1:200; Santa Cruz, sc-32758) were performed overnight at 4 °C. After washing with PBS, they were incubated with a secondary antibody conjugated with Alexa-488 or -546 (1:300; Molecular Probes) for 30 min at room temperature. Following the manufacturer's instructions, we performed EdU staining with a Click-iT EdU imaging kit (Invitrogen) and stained nuclei with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). We analyzed the stained cells using a BZ-X810 fluorescence microscope (Keyence, Osaka, Japan). We calculated the fusion index as a percentage of nuclei within MyHC-positive myotubes in nine randomly selected images from three healthy individuals.

Cytotoxic T cell Assay for Tumor Killing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Splenic T cells (2×106/ml) were isolated from both B6-WT and SIRT3-/- animals and co-cultured with irradiated allogeneic BALB/c whole splenocytes (5×106/ml) for 5 days. Activated T cells were harvested and used as effector cells. Syngeneic MBL-2 and allogeneic P815 target tumor cells were labeled by incubating 2 × 106 cells with 2 MBq of Na251CrO4 (PerkinElmer Life, Boston, MA, USA) for 2 hours at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. After washing, 5×103 labeled targets were re-suspended and added to triplicate wells at varying effector-to-target ratios and then incubated for 4 hours. Maximum and minimum release was determined by the addition of Triton-X (MP Biomedicals, Santa Ana, CA) or media alone to targets, respectively. Supernatants were collected onto a Luma plate(PerkinElmer) after 4 hours and 51Cr activity was determined using an autogamma counter (Packard, Meridian, CT, USA).

Immunofluorescence Analysis of Myogenic Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunofluorescence analysis, cells were washed with PBS, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at 4 °C, and subsequently permeabilized in 0.1% triton-X (MP Biomedicals, USA) for 10 min at RT. Cells were blocked with 10% goat serum for 15 min at 37 °C. Primary antibody incubations were performed overnight at 4 °C. Cells were then washed with PBS and incubated with secondary antibodies for 30 min at RT. Plates were imaged using a fluorescent microscope (BZ-9000 or BZ-X800, KEYENCE, Osaka, Japan) and BZ-X Analyzer or BZ-X800 Analyzer (KEYENCE). The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-MYOD1 (1:200, Santa Cruz; sc-32758), mouse anti-myogenin (1:200, Santa Cruz; sc-12732), mouse anti-dystrophin (1:30, Leica, NCL-DYS1), mouse anti-myosin heavy chain (1:50, R&D; MAB4470), mouse anti-α-Actinin (1:1000, Sigma; A7811), mouse anti-desmin (1:800, Sigma; D1033), and mouse anti-β-dystroglycan (1:100, Leica, NCL-b-DG). Alexa Fluor 546 goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L; 1:300, Invitrogen) or anti-mouse IgG, Dylight 488 (Vector Laboratories, USA; DK-2488) were used as secondary antibodies. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342 (1:10,000; Thermo Fisher Scientific; H3570).

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.
