Brain coronal sections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min and then permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 (Amresco, Washington, USA) for 30 min at room temperature. Later on, they were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Amresco) solution for 1 h at 37 °C. They were then incubated with anti-NeuN (1:250, HUABIO, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China), anti-Iba-1 (1:500, Wako, Tokyo, Japan) or anti-GFAP (1:200, HUABIO) antibodies overnight at 4 °C. After washing in PBS, they were incubated with secondary antibodies of Alexa Fluor 555 labeled donkey anti-mouse (1:1000, Thermo Fisher) or Alexa Fluor 488 labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:500, Thermo Fisher) for 1 h at 37 °C, respectively. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (BOSTER, Wuhan, Hebei, China) for 1 min. Pictures were subsequently taken on a fluorescence microscope.

When gels were recovered from mice, they were processed as previously described for paraffin embedding33 (link). Briefly, gels were fixed in 4% neutral buffered formalin overnight and subsequently dehydrated and paraffin embedded. Sections of 4 µm were cut and processed for either hematoxylin eosin staining or for immunofluorescence staining.
After dewaxing, sections were placed in Tris–HCl buffered saline supplemented with Tween-20 (TBS-Tween, 0.1 M Tris HCl, 0.14 M NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20, pH7.6, all reagents from Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min, then incubated at room temperature for 1 h in TBS-Tween supplemented with 10% goat serum (Sigma-Aldrich) and then for 1 h at room temperature with the primary antibody. Sections were then washed 3 times with TBS-Tween, the secondary antibody applied and incubated for another hour. Sections were then counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Sigma-Aldrich) and then mounted.
As primary antibody, human cytokeratin 14 (CK14, 1:500 dilution, polyclonal AF-64, Covance, Princeton, NJ, USA) was used, while as secondary antibody, AlexaFluor 488-labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG was used (1:500, Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Sf9 III cells infected with Bac-IgT virus were preserved with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) three days post infection. After fixation, the cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. The expressed IgT protein was stained with 1:200 dilution of mouse or rabbit anti-CH2-CH4 IgT antibodies at room temperature for 1 hour. The cells were then incubated with 1:1000 dilution of Alexa fluor 488 labelled goat anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen, Gaithersburg, USA) or Alexa fluor 488 labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, Gaithersburg, USA) and counterstained with DAPI (Invitrogen). The fluorescence signal was detected with an inverted fluorescence microscope (Olympus, UK) and the images were captured by a digital imaging system (Nikon, Japan).

HeLa Cell Cycle Synchronization and Mitosis Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa FlpIn™ T-REx™ cells were arrested in early S-phase in growth media containing 2mM Thymidine (Sigma) for 16 hours. Cells were then released for 8h in Thymidine-free media, these were then arrested again with Thymidine for 16h followed by release in Thymidine-free media. Cells were treated for 12 hours with DMSO or compounds then fixed in 3.7% formaldeyde (Agar Scientific). Cells were permeabilised with 0.1% Triton X-100 then incubated with anti-phospho-histone H3 (Ser10) antibody (Abcam ab5176). The cells were washed with PBS then incubated with AlexaFluor™ 488 labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen A11034) in the presence of 4ug/ml Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen H3570). Cells were washed in PBS then imaged on an Arrayscan VTi HCS instrument (Thermo Fisher) using the Target Activation V4 Bioapplication. Mitotic cells scored as phospho-histone H3-stained cells per 2000 Hoechst 33342-stained nuclei as described in Ibbeson et al., 2014.27

Cells were plated at 10 000/well in 96-well plates and incubated overnight. The following day compound stocks in DMSO were diluted in medium then added to cells with a maximum final DMSO concentration on cells of 0.2%. Cells were incubated with compound for 24 h then fixed in 3.7% formaldeyde. Cells were permeabilised with 0.1% Triton X-100 then incubated with anti-phospho-histone H3 (Ser10) antibody (Abcam ab5176). The cells were washed with PBS then incubated with AlexaFluor 488 labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen A11034) in the presence of 4ug/ml Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen H3570). Cells were washed in PBS then imaged on an Arrayscan VTi HCS instrument (Thermo Fisher) using the Target Activation V4 Bioapplication. A user-defined threshold was applied to identify mitotic cells based on the intensity of phospho-histone H3 staining.

L4 DRGs ipsilateral to the cancer-bearing limbs were surgically extracted, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, and cryostat sectioned at 25 µm thick transverse to the longitudinal axis.

After overnight incubation with 1:500 rabbit anti-substance P (Millipore, AB1566, Billerica, MA) at 4℃, sections were washed in PBS and incubated with AlexaFluor 488 labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, Canada) diluted 1:2000 at 25℃ for 2 h and viewed using a fluorescent microscope. For DRGs containing neurobiotin-injected neurons, these were also incubated with NeutrAvidin Texas Red 1:100 (Vector Laboratories) at 25℃ for 2 h to reveal neurobiotin staining via light microscopy.

Images were obtained using a Zeiss LSM 880 confocal laser scanning microscope and analysed using ImageJ. At least 100 nuclei were counted per experiment and nuclei with >5 foci were scored as positive. Data represent the mean ± s.e.m. of at least three independent experiments, and statistical analysis was performed using two-tailed paired t-tests.

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.
