To confirm the expression of targetable integrins on the MC-26 cells, cells were harvested with Cell Dissociation Buffer, enzyme-free (ThermoFisher Scientific). Cells were stained for αv integrin (550024 BD Pharmingen; 1:100), NRP-1 (AF566 R&D Biosystems; 1:100), and p32 (AB 2991 Millipore; 1:100) at 4 °C for 1 hour and probed with secondary antibodies conjugated with fluorophores using standard protocols. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry on a BD LSR II Flow Cytometer.

Sema3a Modulation of Motor Neuron Processes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MN were plated at 1000 cells per well as above. 12 hours after plating, they were assessed by light microscopy, at which point most could be seen to have budded polar processes. 24 hours after plating, recombinant human Sema3a was added (Peprotech) at indicated concentrations. For Nrp1 blockade, a Nrp1- blocking antibody validated for this purpose (R&D systems AF566) was added at a concentration of 10 µg/ml and incubated with MN for 30 minutes prior to Sema3a addition. Goat IgG control added separately to control for nonspecific effects (not shown.) Cells were cultured an additional 36 hours before fixation and immunolabeling.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 20,000 ECs were seeded onto FN‐coated/BSA‐blocked coverslips and adhered for 90 min before being washed with PBS and immersed in −20°C methanol for 20 min. Alternatively, cells were prepared as per the microtubule stability assay protocol described above. Coverslips were then washed with PBS, blocked for 10 min at room temperature with 0.5% BSA, 1% goat serum in PBS with 0.25% Triton X‐100 and incubated with primary antibody diluted 1:250 in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. After subsequent PBS washes, the coverslips were incubated with Alexa Fluor®‐conjugated secondary antibodies raised in donkey (Fisher Scientific) diluted 1:500 in PBS. Coverslips were washed again in PBS before being mounted onto slides using Prolong Gold® with DAPI (Fisher Scientific). Primaries used were anti‐alpha‐tubulin (Abcam 52866), anti‐paxillin (Abcam 32084) anti‐talin (Sigma T3287) and anti‐Nrp1 (R&D Systems AF566).
To quantify microtubule targeting focal adhesions, images were taken of stained cells using an epifluorescent microtubule, and then, the number of microtubules with an end overlapping with a focal adhesion was counted for each cell.
Simultaneous phalloidin (Thermo Fisher A12380) and alpha‐tubulin staining were carried out using PHEMO fixation 46.

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.
