Immunofluorescence Analysis of Tumor Spheroids

Mary-X spheroids and Karen-X loose aggregates were subjected to single label immunofluorescence studies using Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated 24E10 (#3199) (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) which recognized both E-cad/FL as well as E-cad/NTF1. In order to immobilize the spheroids and loose aggregates, glass-bottom dishes were coated with Cell-TEK adhesive. The adherent spheroids were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, after permeabilizing with TX-100 and blocking with normal goat serum. After washing with PBS 4–5 times, each for 10 min, the spheroids and aggregates were incubated with 24E10. The dishes were finally mounted with Vectorshield mounting medium with DAPI (#H-1200) (Vector Laboratories) and viewed with a Olympus Fluoview-1000 confocal scanning system.
Mary-X and Karen-X were also subjected to double label immunofluorescence studies. Double label immunofluorescence experiments were carried out using the following combinations of antibodies: Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated 24E10 which recognized both E-cad/NTF1 as well as E-cad/FL and goat polyclonal antibody to mouse podoplanin or CD31 (R&D Systems, Inc.) which recognized murine lymphatics or blood vessels followed by Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated donkey anti-goat (#A11058) (Invitrogen, Inc.). Tumor emboli were recognized by E-cadherin positivity surrounded by circumferential podoplanin (lymphatics) or CD31 positivity.

iPSC Characterization by Immunofluorescence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The iPSC clones were confirmed as IPSCs with a battery of rabbit anti-mouse IPSC markers including Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, mKlf4, Nestin and SSEA-1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The secondary antibody was an Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), all used in accordance with the manufacturer’s conditions. To immobilize the iPSC clones, glass-bottom dishes were coated with Cell-TEK adhesive. The adherent iPSC was then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, after permeabilizing with TX-100 and blocking with normal goat serum. The iPSC clones were then incubated with the primary antibodies, washed, and incubated with the secondary antibodies. The dishes were finally mounted with Vectorshield mounting medium with DAPI (#H-1200) (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and viewed with an Olympus Fluoview-1000 confocal scanning system under different wavelengths.

Multilineage Differentiation Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For each of the lineages, proof of successful differentiation was obtained by the detection of specific biomarkers for each lineage: CD31 for endothelial, albumin for hepatic and osteocalcin for osteogenic. Cultures of the differentiated cells that grew as monolayers were subjected to double immunofluorescent studies using the following combinations of antibodies: rabbit anti-mouse CD31, rabbit anti-mouse albumin, rabbit anti-mouse osteocalcin followed by Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (all antibodies from Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). The adherent monolayers were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, after permeabilization with TX-100 and blocking with normal goat serum. The spheroids were then incubated with the respective primary antibodies according to the manufacturer’s specifications, washed with PBS 4–5 times, and incubated with the secondary antibody again according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The dishes were finally mounted with Vectorshield mounting medium with DAPI (#H-1200) (Vector Laboratories) and viewed with an Olympus Fluoview-1000 confocal scanning system.

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.
