Visualizing Calcium Dynamics and Macrophage Activation in Live Zebrafish Larvae

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Larvae were anesthetized with 100 μg/mL buffered tricaine and mounted in 1% low-melting point agarose as previously described (41 (link)). Epi-fluorescence microscopy was performed using a MVX10 Olympus microscope (MVPLAPO 1X objective; XC50 camera). Confocal microscopy was performed on ZEISS LSM880 FastAiryscan, using 20X/0.8 objective, plan apochromat equipped with DIC for transmission images, resolution at 512x512 pixels. The wavelength were respectively 488nm (Argon Laser) and 561nm (DSSP Laser) for excitation. Detection was selected at 505-550nm for PMT detector and 585-620nm for GaAsP detector. The images were taken in a sequential mode by line. The 3D files generated by multi-scan acquisitions were processed by Image J. To image Ca2+ oscillations at the wound, we used ANDOR CSU-W1 confocal spinning disk on an inverted NIKON microscope (Ti Eclipse) with ANDOR Neo sCMOS camera (20x air/NA 0.75 objective). Image stacks for time-lapse movies were acquired at 28°C every 20 seconds (s), with z-stack of 45 μm at 3 μm intervals. To image macrophage activation in live, z-stacks of 78 μm with 3 μm intervals were acquired every 3min, in multiposition mode. The 4D files generated from time-lapse acquisitions were processed using Image J. Brightness and contrast were adjusted for maximal visibility.

Caudal Fin Fold Amputation in Zebrafish

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Caudal fin fold amputation was performed in 3 dpf larvae under anaesthesia with 0.016% Tricaine (MS222, Sigma) in zebrafish water using a sterile scalpel57 (link). For imaging, live embryos were anesthetized in 0.016% Tricaine, and positioned in 35 mm glass-bottom dishes (FluoroDishTM, World Precision Instruments). They were mounted in 1% low melting point agarose (Sigma) with Tricaine. Light microscopy was performed using an MVX10 Olympus macroscope equipped with an MVPLAPO 1X objective and XC50 camera. Z-stacks series were obtained using an inverted confocal microscope Leica TCS SP5 (Leica Application Suite V3.2) and TCS SP8 (Leica Application Suite V3.5) equipped with an HCXPL APO 40x/1.25-0.75 oil and an HC PL APO 0.70 ∞ (infinity) 20x objective (Leica). The mCherry signal was excited with a 560 nm laser, and GFP with a 490 nm laser. Datasets were analysed using Fiji Software (ImageJ 1.52p)58 (link).

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.
