Mouse embryonic small intestinal samples from different stages were carefully dissected and harvested from the body. All samples used for histological sectioning and subsequent staining were taken from duodenal sections. For paraffin section, samples were fixed overnight at 4° C temperature in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS buffer (Invitrogen) and incubated in 70% ethanol solution after three times’ wash with PBS buffer for paraffin section, and then were submitted to the Molecular Pathology and Imaging Core of the Center for Molecular Studies in Digestive and Liver Diseases (P30 DK050306) for further process, embed and sectioning for sectioning at tum thickness and then sectioned slices were kept at room temperature. For frozen section, samples were incubated overnight in 30% sucrose in PBS buffer after overnighted fixation at 4°C in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS buffer (Invitrogen) until the intestinal tissues completely sink to the tube bottom, and then were embed in OCT for quick-frozen and stored at −80°C. OCT-embedded samples were performed the cryo-sectioning though a using a cryostat (Cryostar NX50, ThermoFisher Scientific) at 10 μm, dried for 10 minutes at room temperature before the further immunofluorescent staining or stored at −80°C.

Two-Photon Imaging of Yeast Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two-photon imaging microscopy was performed to obtain 2D representations of the two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. The images were collected on a Nikon A1-MP scanning microscope equipped with a Plan APO IR × 60 objective (NA, 1.27; Water Immersion, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) at a scanning speed of one frame per second. An IR laser (Chameleon, Coherent, Palo Alto, CA, USA) was used to provide excitation at 820 nm. Fluorescence emission was collected on two detection channels: FF01-492/SP (400–492 nm) and FF03-525/50 (500–550 nm) (Semrock, New York, USA). The images provided in this article were obtained by merging these two detection channels.
Samples of the culture were collected and centrifuged at 8000× g for 5 min at 20 °C. The culture supernatant was removed, and the pellet was resuspended in PBS buffer (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, and 11.9 mM phosphate, pH 7.2) (ThermoFisher Scientific, Illkrich, France). Five microliters of cell suspension were placed between a glass slide and a coverslip for observation.

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.
