Whole pancreas was embedded in Tissue Tek (Sakura Fneteci), frozen, cut into sections (8 um). Histology slides containing sections from the pancreas were fixed with 4%paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.01% Triton X-100.For histology, the slides from each group were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. For Immunofluorescent staining, nonspecific binding sites were blocked in 10% bovine serum in PBS at room temperature for 30 min. The slides were then incubated at 4 °C overnight with diluted primary antibodies and with Alexa Fluor labeled secondary antibodies at 37 °C for 60 mins in the dark followed by DAPI for 30 mins at room temperature in the dark. The slides were then rinsed with PBS and evaluated under a fluorescence microscope. The primary antibodies used were anti-insulin antibody (ab6995, Abcam), anti-glucagon antibody (ab8055, Abcam). The images were collected using a Nikon TE2000-U inverted fluorescence microscope (Nikon Co., Tokyo, Japan).

Whole 5% paraformaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples of pancreas from Wistar and Goto-Kakizaki rats, typically of ages of 31, 52, and 79 weeks, were investigated using either monoclonal antibody mouse anti-insulin ab6995 (ABCAM, Cambridge, UK), diluted 1 : 100, or polyclonal antibodies such as rabbit anti-glucagon ab8055 (ABCAM), diluted 1 : 100, rabbit anti-somatostatin ab103790 (ABCAM), diluted 1 : 500, and rabbit anti-pancreatic polypeptide PA1-36141 (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL), diluted 1 : 1000. Secondary antibodies (Life Technologies), diluted 1 : 1000, were Alexa Fluor 568 Donkey anti-Mouse IgG, A10037 for red imaging, and Alexa Fluor 488 Donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H + L), A21206, for green imaging. Immunohistochemical samples were viewed by a motorized inverted fluorescence microscope Olympus IX-81 and Cell F software.

For detailed protocol, see Supplementary methods. Briefly, 12 μm sections of mouse colon and ileum were cut using a Leica CM3050 cryostat and mounted on Superfrost Plus slides (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and allowed to air-dry for an hour. Sections were hybridised with DIG-labelled Insl5 or Rxfp4 probe (1:100 each) overnight at 60°C, washed and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-(POD, 1:500, Roche) conjugated anti-DIG antibody before tyramide signal amplification with FITC-tyramide. Following in situ hybridisation, sections were blocked (2% BSA, 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20 in PBS), incubated with rabbit anti-proglucagon antibody (1:100, ab8055, Abcam) overnight, washed with TBST and incubated with anti-rabbit Alexa594 secondary antibody (1:500, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Fluorescent wide-field images were acquired by tile-scanning using a Nikon Ti-E fluorescence microscope with a 20× objective and photo-stitched during acquisition in NIS-Elements software (Nikon Instruments).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
3D hAEC spheroids were fixed with 2% Paraformaldehyde (PFA, Sigma-Aldrich) for 20 min at room temperature. After washing 2 × 10 min in PBS, spheroids were permeabilized in 0.5% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS for 10 min and then rinsed again 2 × 10 min in PBS. Antigen blocking was performed for 1 h at room temperature in blocking solution: 5% normal goat serum (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA), 0.2% Triton X-100, 0.1% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) (Sigma-Aldrich). Primary and secondary antibodies were diluted in freshly prepared blocking solution. Primary antibodies were incubated at 8°C overnight and secondary antibodies for 40-50 min at room temperature. The following primary antibodies and dilutions were used: mouse anti-insulin 1:100 (Abcam ab46707); rabbit anti-glucagon (Abcam ab8055); rabbit anti-C-peptide 1:100 (Cell Signalling #4593); rabbit anti-CK19 1:100 (Thermo Scientific PA5-16726); mouse antilaminin 1:100 (Thermo Scientific MA1-21194). Secondary antibodies were: DyLight 594 goat antimouse 1:200 (Jackson Immuno Research Labs.); Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit 1:400 (Molecular Probes); CF 488 goat anti-mouse 1:400 (Biotium); DyLight 594 goat anti-rabbit 1:200 (Thermo Scientific). Nuclei counterstaining was performed with Fluoroshield+DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich). Imaging

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.
