Fresh liver and tissue samples were collected after euthanasia and processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging. Tissue pieces (3 mm3) were fixed in 2.0% glutaraldehyde, 2% paraformaldehyde (freshly prepared), 0.1 M sodium cacodylate, 1% sucrose and 3 mM CaCl2, at pH 7.4 and 4 ºC overnight. The samples were rinsed with buffer and post-fixed in 2% osmium tetroxide with 0.1 M sodium cacodylate and 3 mM calcium chloride on ice protected from light for one hour. After brief washing D-H2O, the cells were placed in 2% uranyl acetate (0.22 µm filtered) at room temperature in the dark for one hour. Following en-bloc staining, the cells were dehydrated in a dilution series of up to 100% ethanol, transferred through propylene oxide, embedded in Eponate 12 and cured at 60 ºC for two days.
The sections were cut on a Reichert-Jung Ultracut E (Reichert-Jung, Vienna, Austria) with a DiATOME Diamond knife (DiATOME, Hatford, USA). Sections of 80 nm were picked up on formvar coated 1×2 mm copper slot grids. Grids were viewed on a Hitachi 7600 TEM (Hitachi, Berkshire, UK) operating at 80 kV and digital images were captured with an AMT 1 K x 1 K CCD camera.

Liver tissues were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde and 4% paraformaldehyde in 100 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.2). Samples were washed with 100 mM Na cacodylate (pH 7.4), postfixed in 2% osmium tetroxide, and then washed again. The samples were dehydrated in a graded series of ethanol and propylene oxide and embedded in epoxy resin (TAAB 812 Resin; Marivac Industries, Montreal, QC, Canada). Ultrathin (60-70 nm) sections were counterstained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and viewed using a Hitachi 7600 TEM (Hitachi High-Technologies America, Inc., Schaumburg, IL, USA) equipped with a MacroFire monochrome progressive scan CCD camera (Optronics, Inc., Muskogee, OK, USA) and AMTV image capture software (Advanced Microscopy Techniques, Corp., Danvers, MA, USA).

Thin slices of fresh cardiac muscle were fixed overnight in 2% glutaraldehyde, 0.1 M cacodylate buffer, 3% sucrose and 3 mM CaCl2 at 4oC with agitation. Fixed tissues were subjected to 1% osmium tetroxide reduced in potassium ferrocyanide for 1 hour and stained en bloc with 2% aqueous uranyl acetate and serially dehydrated in graded ethanol and propylene oxide. Prepared samples were embedded in Eponate 12 Resin (Ted Pella). Multiple thin sections (70–90 nm) were cut for each sample on a Reichert-Jung Ultracut E microtome, placed on 200 mesh copper grids, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and viewed on a Hitachi 7600 TEM (Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc) with an AMT Advanced Microscopy Techniques digital camera (Danvers, MA).

Monolayers were fixed overnight at 4°C and processed for SEM as previously described39 (link). Briefly, filters were postfixed in 2% osmium tetroxide and 0.1 μM sodium cacodylate at 4°C for 1h. Filters were dehydrated through a graded series of ethanol and passed through pure HDMS. Drying agent was decanted and filters were desiccated overnight. Filters were attached to aluminum stubs via carbon sticky tabs and coated with 20 nm AuPd. Stubs were viewed and images captured on a Leo 1530 FESEM operating at 1-3 kV.
Monolayers were processed for TEM as previously described12 (link). Briefly, filters were fixed for 2h in solution containing 2% glutaraldehyde, 2% PFA, 0.1 M Na-cacodylate, 3 mM CaCl2, pH 7.4 at room temperature. Filters were incubated in 1% H2O2 for 1h then post-fixed in 2% osmium tetroxide in 0.1 M Na-cacodylate for 1h then placed in 2% uranyl acetate for 1h. Following en-bloc staining, filters were dehydrated through a graded series of ethanol to 100%, transferred through propylene oxide, embedded in Eponate 12 (Pella) and cured at 60°C for 2d. Sections of 80 nm were cut on a Riechert Ultracut E with a Diatome Diamond knife then collected on formvar coated 1×2 mm copper slot grids and stained with uranyl acetate followed by lead citrate. Grids were viewed and captured on a Hitachi 7600 TEM operating at 80 kV.

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.
