Dapi dye

Manufactured by Solarbio
Sourced in China

DAPI (4',6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dihydrochloride) is a fluorescent dye used in molecular biology and microscopy applications. It binds strongly to adenine-thymine (A-T) rich regions in DNA, emitting blue fluorescence upon excitation. DAPI is commonly used for nuclear staining and DNA visualization in various cell and tissue samples.

After hypoxia induction and treatment, the cells were washed twice with 200 μL of PBS. Cells were incubated for 15 minutes with a solution of 5 mL of DAPI dye (Solarbio, Beijing, China) in 500 mL PBS. Cells were incubated for 15 min in the dark, washed twice with PBS, and then observed using light microscopy (U-RFLT50, Olympus, Japan).

TUNEL staining was performed using paraffin-embedded tissues as mentioned before. The staining was performed with apoptosis kit (11684817910, Roche) to detect apoptotic cells in colon sections according to the instructions of manufacturer. After the paraffin sections conventional dewaxing to water, performed the antigen recovery with protease K working solution at 37°C for 22 min. Then incubated the sections with permeabilize working solution at room temperature for 20 min. Next, take appropriate amount of TDT enzyme, dUTP and buffer in the tunel kit according to the number of slices and tissue size and mix at 1:5:50 ratio, and used to incubate the tissues at 37°C for 1 h. Finally, the DAPI dye (S2110, Solarbio) was used to stain nucleus at room temperature for 10 min. Images were captured with NanoZoomer S60 (C13210-01, Hamamatsu).

Rats were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate normal saline solution (0.35 mL/100 g). On the 14th day after operation, normal saline and fresh 4% paraformaldehyde were perfused through the heart. Then, we removed TG, fixed it with 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 day, then transferred it to 20% sucrose solution for one day, and finally soaked for one day with 30% sucrose solution. Then, TG sections (10 µm) were prepared on a freezing microtome and placed on immunosorbent slides. The sections were washed, three times, with PBS buffer, sealed with 5% BSA at 37 °C for 30 min, and incubated overnight with rabbit anti-rat P2X7 antibody (1:8000, Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel) and mouse anti-rat GFAP antibody (1:1000, Boster) in a wet box at 4 °C [28 (link),30 (link)]. After 12 h, the slide was removed and washed, 3 times, with PBS buffer, then, the tissue sections were incubated in CY-3 goat anti-rabbit antibody (1:200, Boster, Wuhan, China) and FITC goat anti-mouse antibody (1:200, Boster) in a dark environment at room temperature for 1 h. Next, the sections were washed again, 3 times, with PBS buffer and sealed with anti-fluorescence quenching sealing tablets containing DAPI dye (Solarbio, Beijing, China). The photographs of the samples were taken with a laser confocal microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
