The cells were harvested with radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (Solarbio) containing phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF; Solarbio) and protease inhibitor cocktail (Solarbio). The lysates were removed through centrifugation at 12,000 × g for 15 min at 4°C. The cell protein lysates were quantified, separated through sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane, and then blocked with 5% skim milk (BD Biosciences) prepared in 1× TBST with 0.05% Tween-20 (Solarbio). Subsequently, the membrane was incubated with specific primary antibodies, washed, and probed with horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody. Several antibodies such as E-cadherin (1:2,000 dilution, rabbit anti-human polyclonal antibody, #20874-1-AP; Proteintech, Wuhan, China), N-cadherin (1:6,000 dilution, rabbit anti-human polyclonal antibody, #22018-1-AP; Proteintech), Vimentin (1:2,000 dilution, rabbit anti-human polyclonal antibody, #10366-1-AP; Proteintech), and GAPDH (1:6,000 dilution, rabbit anti-human polyclonal antibody, #10494-1-AP; Proteintech) were used.

Fluorescence microscopy analysis
was used to show the colocalization of CD71 and HFn-FITC within CD71-positive
C666-1 cells. Upon reaching 90% confluence, C666-1 cells were detached,
washed, and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at 37 °C.
After washing and suspending in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), a
20 μL aliquot of the cell suspension was placed onto a slide,
allowed to sit for 20 min at room temperature, and then dried in an
oven at 37 °C. The cell smears were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton
X-100 for 15 min and blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for
1 h at room temperature. The cells were then incubated with the following
reagents: 5 μg/mL of mouse IgG1 kappa isotype control (Invitrogen,
USA), 5 μg/mL of CD71 mouse monoclonal antibody (Invitrogen,
USA), and 10 μg/mL of HFn-FITC in 0.1% BSA at 4 °C overnight.
Subsequently, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa
Fluor 555 secondary goat antimouse antibody (Bioss, China) at a dilution
of 1:100 for 1 h at room temperature. After rinsing with PBS containing
0.05% tween 20 (Solarbio, China), an antifade mounting medium with
DAPI (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) was applied to stain the cell
nuclei for 10 min. Finally, the cell smears were examined using a
confocal laser scanning microscope with 405, 488, and 543 nm wavelengths
of laser (Zeiss LSM880, Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany).

ISH was performed according to the previously published procedure (47 (link), 48 ), with some modifications. After dewaxing and rehydration, tissue sections were treated with HCl (0.2 mol/liter; 20 min) and proteinase K (20 μg/ml; 30 min; 37°C) (TaKaRa). After washing with phosphate buffer containing Tween 20 (PBST), the slides were prehybridized for 4 h at 42°C in the mixture of 50% formamide, 5× saline citrate (SSC) (Solarbio), 0.1% Tween 20 (Solarbio), 1.9 g/liter citric acid monohydrate, 500 μg/ml tRNA (Sigma), and 50 μg/ml heparin sodium (Solarbio). Hybridization was performed in the same solution mixed with 1 mg/ml DIG-labeled RNA probe at 42°C for 16 h. To detect probes hybridized with viral RNA, we incubated tissue sections with anti-DIG-AP Fab fragments (Roche) for 12 h at 4°C and then stained the hybridization with BCIP (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate) and NBT (4-nitroblue tetrazolium chloride) (Roche). The slides were counterstained with Bismarck brown. Healthy prawns served as a negative control by performing the same protocol.

Rice Blast Resistance Screening Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Magnaporthe oryzae Hoku1 provided by the Institute of Plant Protection of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences was used for inoculation. For the panicle blast resistance identification, a 2 mL spore suspension with a concentration of 1 × 105/mL was used for injection at the booting stage of rice. A total of 9 panicles of each line were injected with 3 strains. The percentage of diseased grains was calculated after three weeks. Grains infected with spore-forming areas were defined as diseased grains [40 (link)].
For the leaf blast resistance identification, a spore suspension with a concentration of 1 × 105/mL was used, which was combined with 0.02% Tween 20 (Solarbio, Beijing, China, Cat#T8220) [68 (link),69 (link)]. According to the method of Zhu et al. (2012) [68 (link)], each seedling tray is inoculated with 60 mL of spore suspension by spraying the seedlings with a spray gun connected to an air pump. After inoculation, seedling trays were placed in a dark environment at 95–100% relative humidity and 27 °C for 24 h and then transferred to a greenhouse with the temperature maintained at 27 °C. The length and number of lesions were recorded after six days. Six plants for each line and three replicates were measured, and the average was calculated for the resistance phenotype.

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.
