HeLa cells and 501mel melanoma cells were seeded into 8-well chamber CC2-coated slides (Thermo Fisher Scientific) one day before staining. Cells were rinsed with 1X PBS, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, rinsed briefly with 1X PBS 0.1% Tween, then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton for 10 minutes. Following 30 minute block in 1mg/mL BSA (Sigma cat.# A3059), cells were incubated 2 hours with primary antibodies in block (anti-SOX10, Santa Cruz cat.# sc-17342; anti-V5, Invitrogen cat.# 46–0705), then rinsed and incubated 20 minutes in Alexa 488 or 568 secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) diluted in block. Following a 48 hour incubation, cells were fixed and stained to visualize their subcellular localization. Cells were rinsed before mounting with ProLong Gold mounting media with DAPI (Invitrogen). Cell images were taken on Zeiss AxioImager.D2 upright microscope with AxioVision 4.8 software (Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Thornwood, NY).

Immunostaining of EpSCs for SIRT2 and βIII-tubulin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The culture medium was discarded, and the coverslips from each group were rinsed with PBS (pH 7.4) twice. EpSCs were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min, washed in PBS 3 times, and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 30 min at room temperature. After being washed in PBS 3 times, the EpSCs were incubated in PBS-Tween-20 (PBST) with 1% BSA for 60 min to block nonspecific binding of antibodies. Then, the EpSCs were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4°C. Anti-SIRT2 (Cell Signaling Technology) and anti-βIII-tubulin (Cell Signaling Technology) were used as the primary antibodies. The nuclei were stained with DAPI. After being washed with PBS 3 times, the cultures were incubated with fluorescent Alexa 488 or 568 secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, CA, USA) for 1 h. Immunofluorescence staining was examined using a Nikon Eclipse TE 300 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.
