Immunofluorescence Staining of Phosphorylated Histone H3

Cytospin slides were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 h, permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100 in PBS, blocked in 1% BSA and 2% FBS in PBS, followed by staining with AlexaFluor 488-conjugated anti-p-H3 antibody (22 (link)). Slides were mounted using Vectashield containing DAPI. Images were captured using a Zeiss LSM 700 confocal microscope or Olympus IX71 Research Inverted System Microscope with a DP73;17MP Color Camera.
For double staining for EdU and p-H3, cytospin slides were prepared after pulse labeling with EdU, followed by immunofluorescence staining for p-H3 using secondary AlexaFluor 594-conjugated antibody (Cell Signaling).

Adhesion of H. pylori to AGS Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AGS cells were seeded at 2 × 105 cells/well in 24-well plates containing Ham’s F-12 medium supplemented with 10% FBS under the standard cell culture conditions and allowed to adhere overnight. When AGS cells reached approximately 80% confluency, the medium was aspirated and the cells were washed twice each with 1 mL of PBS. Different strains of H. pylori suspension harvested at log phase of growth (OD600 ≌ 1.0) were added to AGS cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 100. After 4 hours of co-culture, the morphological changes of these cells were recorded by using a IX71 research inverted system microscope (Olympus; Japan) with 20 × magnification. For adhesion assay, bacteria were co-cultured with AGS cells for 4 or 6 hours. The non-adhered bacteria were removed by PBS buffer wash and then the cells were lysed by treating with 0.5% saponin-containing PBS buffer for 5 minutes of incubation. The obtained lysate was serially diluted and spread on sheep blood agar plates. The adhered bacteria were measured by the viable plate counting method after 72 to 96 hours of incubation.

H. pylori Infection of AGS Cells

AGS cells (ATCC 1739, human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line) were seeded at 2 × 105 cells/well in 6 cm dishes containing Ham’s F-12 media (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 10% FBS under standard cell culture conditions. When the AGS cells reached approximately 80% confluency, suspensions from different strains of H. pylori harvested at the log phase (OD 600 ≌ 1.0) were added to the AGS cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 100. After 6 h of co-culturing the morphological changes of the cells were recorded by using an Olympus IX71 research inverted system microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) with 20× magnification.

Rhodamine-Labeled Polymer Cellular Uptake

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rhodamine-labeled polymers were synthesized using methacryloxyethyl thiocarbamoyl rhodamine B (0.1 mol% of monomers), as described above. HeLa cells (1 × 105 cells) were seeded in a 12-well dish and pre-incubated for 24 h in DMEM in the presence of serum (10% FBS). Cells were washed twice with Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS). Subsequently, 1 mL of fresh DMEM with serum was added to the dish along with the rhodamine-labeled polymer solution in PBS(−), and cells were incubated for 15 min at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The final polymer concentration was 1 mg/mL. After incubation, the cells were washed with HBSS three times, and 1 mL of HBSS was added to the dish. Cells were then observed under a fluorescence microscope (Research inverted system microscope IX71, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Immunofluorescence Analysis of Inflammasome Components

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After anesthetisation, the mice were transcardially perfused with normal saline (0.9 %), and brain tissues were fixed in a fresh 4 % paraformaldehyde solution (pH 7.4) at 4 °C. Coronal sections (30 μm) containing the diencephalon were prepared for immunofluorescence staining. Primary antibodies against NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1β were also used to delineate respective inflammasome components. DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) was used for nuclear staining. Alexa Fluor 488, Alexa Fluor 555 and Alexa Fluor 647 were used as secondary antibodies. Images of the stained specimens (five mice per group) were captured using an Olympus Research Inverted System Microscope IX71 (Olympus, Japan).

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.
