Visualizing β-galactosidase Activity in Whole Mounts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Visualization of β-galactosidase activity with X-gal and endogenous GFP or YFP fluorescence in whole mounts has been described previously10 (link),33 (link). For X-gal staining, whole mount tissues were fixed for 30 min on ice with 4% PFA in PBS and washed with buffer A (2 mM MgCl2 and 5 mM EDTA in PBS) twice for 5 min at room temperature. After incubation with buffer B (2 mM MgCl2, 0.01% sodium deoxycholate and 0.02% Nonidet P40 in PBS) for 30 min, β-galactosidase activity was visualized with buffer C (5 mM potassium ferricyanide, 5 mM potassium ferrocyanide and 1 mg/ml X-gal in buffer B) at 37 °C overnight. Images of X-gal staining were acquired on an Olympus SZX10 stereomicroscope with a DP71 digital CCD camera. Fluorescence wholemount images were collected as z-stacks and projected into a single image using a Leica SPE confocal microscope.

Quantifying Arterial Medial Calcification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One piece (0.3–1 cm long) of the radial artery was collected during AVF surgery, and it was immediately fixed in 4% neutral formaldehyde. After fixation, the radial arteries were embedded in paraffin and cut with a rotating microtome at 2-μm thickness. The 2-μm-thick sections were stained with alizarin red S. Positive results indicated by an orange-red color were shown under the light microscope. An experienced pathologist evaluated the stained sections and examined them using an Olympus microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) in bright-field mode. The images were recorded using an Olympus DP-71 digital CCD camera, which was under software control, and medial calcification was graded by the pathologist on a semi-quantitative scale (0 = none; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; and 3 = severe).

TNCB-Induced Allergic Ear Inflammation Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were sensitized by the application of 150 μL of 5% TNCB in an acetone-ethanol mixture (1:3 ratio) to the shaved abdomen (positive groups). Unsensitized mice fed with HFD or a normal diet (ND) for 8 weeks were used as negative controls. Four days later, all the mice were challenged on both ears with 10 μL of 0.4% TNCB in olive oil–acetone mixture (1:1 ratio). The ear thickness was measured prior to testing with a micrometer (Mitutoyo, Tokyo, Japan), by an observer unaware of the experimental groups and then again at 24 hours after challenge. Ear thickness was calculated as (Ear thickness [μm] 24 hours after challenge) — (Ear thickness [μm] before challenge). The ear swelling was expressed in μm ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Sections were examined under an Olympus BX50 microscope (Olympus, Japan). Images were recorded using a DP-71 digital CCD camera (Olympus, Japan) coupled to an IBM PC-class computer equipped with the AnalySIS-FIVE (Soft Imaging System GmbH, Münster, Germany) image analysis system.

Quantitative Spinal Cord Inflammation Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The spinal cord sections were examined using Olympus BX50 brightfield/epifluorescence microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). All low magnification images were recorded with the use of Olympus DP71 digital CCD camera, stored as TIFF files and processed for quantitative analysis using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).
In each image, inflammatory lesions characterized by high density of cells were marked (example in Figure 2a), and the percentage of immunopositive areas was assessed in the lesions. Only in the case of CD45, a general marker of inflammation, the percentage of immunopositive areas was estimated for the whole spinal cord cross-sectional area (Figure 2e).
A total of at least 20 sections were analyzed per experimental group (n = 5) and phase.

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.
