Human NPCs were characterized by immunocytochemistry. Briefly, cells grown on glass coverslips were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and incubated in the blocking buffer (5% goat serum, 1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.1% Triton X-100) for 15 min. Cells were then incubated in primary antibodies diluted in the blocking buffer at 4 °C overnight. Appropriate secondary antibodies were used for single and double labeling. All secondary antibodies were tested for cross-reactivity and nonspecific immunoreactivity. The following primary antibodies were used, anti-SOX2 (1:200, R&D Systems), anti-Nestin (1:500, R&D Systems), anti-SOX1 (1:250, Millipore). Bis-benzamide (DAPI, 1:1000; Sigma) was used to visualize the nuclei. Images were captured using a Zeiss Axiovision microscope with z-stack split view function.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At 1 week after SCI, six rats from each of the three groups were deeply anesthetized by an intraperitoneal injection of ketamine and were intracardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (PB; pH=7.4). The thoracic spinal cord was excised, postfixed for 24 hours, and maintained overnight in 30% sucrose in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution. Spinal cord tissues were sectioned at a thickness of 30 μm on a cryostat, and sections were floated on the surface of 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution. A 5 and 6 mm rostral to the center of injury was performed. To detect nestin (a marker for NSPCs), spinal cord sections were blocked with 4% normal serum in 0.5% Triton X-100 for 1 hour at room temperature, incubated overnight at 4°C with a 1 : 200 dilution of mouse monoclonal anti-nestin (R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) and rabbit polyclonal anti-BrdU (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and then rinsed for three times for 10 minutes in a 0.1 M PB. Sections were incubated for 2 hours with Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti–mouse IgG and Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (both 1 : 300; invitrogen). The images were viewed on a computer monitor using a Zeiss Plan-Apochromat 40X objective (Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc., Jena, Germany). Enumeration of immune-positive cells used a Labworks, version 4.5, computer-assisted image analyzer (UVP, Upland, CA, USA).

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.
