To confirm the quality of the prepared tubular liver tissue, paraffin-embedded tissue sections were prepared for observation. The tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical) for 6 h at 4 °C, dehydrated with ethanol, permeabilized with Lemosol (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), and embedded in paraffin. Then, sections of 5 μm thickness were prepared. After deparaffinization by Lemosol and ethanol, the sections were subjected to staining with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and immunostaining. For immunohistochemistry (IHC), after heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) using citrate buffer (pH 6), the sections were incubated with the primary antibody for CD31 (1:100, ab28364, Abcam PLC, Cambridge, UK), followed by a secondary antibody (ImmPRESS Reagent, Anti-Rabbit Ig, Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA). Finally, the sections were colorized with DAB (ImmPACT DAB, Vector Laboratories) and counterstained with hematoxylin. For immunofluorescence, after HIER, the sections were incubated with the primary antibodies against CD31 and CK18 (1:200, MA5-12104, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) and secondary antibodies (1:200, Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse and Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated anti-rabbit, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.).

A549 cells grown on coverslips were infected with influenza A WSN virus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) 2. At the indicated time points, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. After treating the fixed cells with 0.3% Triton X-100, the cells were subjected to immunofluorescence staining, as previously described [24 (link)]. Briefly, the fixed cells were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin and incubated with monoclonal anti-hnRNP A2/B1 (Sigma-Aldrich) and polyclonal anti-NP antibodies, which were generated in house. The fluorescence-conjugated antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse and Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated anti-rabbit; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were applied to detect the primary antibodies. Nuclei were stained with 4’ 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The localization of the indicated proteins and nuclei was then observed on a ZEISS LSM510 META confocal microscope.

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.
