2 4 amidinophenyl 6 indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride dapi

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in Germany, United States

2-(4-Amidinophenyl)-6-indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride (DAPI) is a fluorescent stain used for detecting and quantifying nucleic acids, particularly DNA. It binds to the minor groove of double-stranded DNA, emitting blue fluorescence upon excitation. DAPI is commonly used in various biological and biochemical applications, such as cell and tissue staining, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry.

Immunofluorescence Analysis of Astrocyte IL-6 Expression

The primary-culture astrocytes were grown on glass coverslips. After stimulation with or without the inflammatory media for 48 h, the cells were harvested and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and blocked in blocking buffer at room temperature for 1 h, followed by incubation in the primary anti-rat IL-6 (PeproTech) or rabbit anti-mouse IL-6 (Bioss Ltd., Beijing, China) or anti-GFAP antibodies at 4 °C overnight. The cells were then incubated with the FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) or goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (red, Beyotime Ltd., Shanghai, China) at room temperature for 1 h in the dark. The cells were then incubated with 2 μg/mL of 2-(4-amidinophenyl)-6-indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride (DAPI; Roche) for 10 min before the slides were mounted. The images were obtained and analyzed with a fluorescence microscope (Nikon 80i) with a cold CCD camera (Nikon DS-Ri1) and NIS-Elements F 3.0 software. For cryostat sections, two independent observers evaluated 30 optical fields for every one of 10 sections per animal (7 animals per group) with a qualitative scale.

Cell Morphology on Nano-Scaffolds

F-actin staining was used to define the cell morphology on scaffolds with different nanotopographies, which were well-oriented or random nanofibres. Aligned/random dishes (diameter 10 mm) were placed into a 48-well plate, and PDLSCs were seeded at a density of 2 × 104 cells per well. On the 3rd and 7th day, cell-scaffold complexes were rinsed with PBS once, and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and permeated with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 5 min. Next, 100 nM rhodamine phallolidin (Cytoskeleton, USA) was added to each well and worked in a dark environment for 30 min, after which 100 nM 2-(4-amidinophenyl)-6-indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride (DAPI) (Roche, Germany) was added, working for 30 seconds. Finally, all staining reagents were removed completely and after enough rinsing the samples were observed by LCSM. For SEM observation of cells planted on the surfaces of AL and RD, samples at day 3 and 7 were obtained and subjected to general processing.
By determining the long axis of the nucleus and actin fibres of each cell, the angulations of cell orientation were calculated with ImageJ. Three random views of each group in high magnification were selected.

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.
