Enucleated eyes were fixed in 4% PFA/PBS for 45 min, followed by cryoprotection in 30% sucrose/PBS. Ten μm-embedded frozen sections were further processed for immunohistochemistry. Briefly, frozen retina sections were blocked in PBS with 3% normal goat serum (Sigma, Buchs, Switzerland) and 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma) for 1 h at RT and then incubated with antibodies against cleaved Caspase3 (dilution 1/500, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. Danvers, MA, USA), GPX3 (dilution 1/50, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), GSTO-1 (dilution 1/200, Santa-Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), FIBULIN-1 (dilution 1/200, Santa-Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) and VERSICAN (dilution 1/100, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) in the blocking buffer overnight at 4°C. Thereafter, sections were incubated again in blocking buffer for 30 min at RT before being incubated for 1 h at RT with FITC Alexa-Fluor 594 goat anti-rabbit antibody or with FITC Alexa-Fluor 594 sheep anti-goat antibody (dilution 1/2’000,) depending of primary antibody used. Incubation with secondary antibody alone was used as a negative control. Tissue sections were counterstained with DAPI to identify retinal cell layers.

Frozen recovered human plasma was obtained from volunteer donors from the San Diego Blood Bank. DEAE-Sephadex and Sephacryl S300 were from GE Healthcare (Little Chalfont, UK). 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (Hepes), Polyethylene Glycol 4000 (PEG), (N-morpholino)ethane sulfonic acid (Mes), (N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (Mops), Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP), 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole were from Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Corp. (St. Louis, MO). Luminata forte chemoluminescent HRP detection reagent for ELISA was from EMD/Millipore (Billerica, MA). A murine mAb (clone B-5) directed against the amino terminal modules of human Fibulin-1 was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX). Goat anti-rabbit IgG coupled to HRP was purchased from Life Technologies (Carlsbad, CA). Factor H was purified from human plasma similarly to a published method using the following steps: 4–12% PEG precipitation of barium citrate treated plasma, DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography, gel filtration through Sephacryl S300, and column chromatography on dextran sulfate Sepharose [29 (link)]. Factor H-Sepharose was prepared by conjugating Factor H (10 mg/ml) in 0.15 M NaHCO3 pH 8.2 to Sepharose 6B using the cyanogen bromide reaction [30 ].

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.
