Cells were grown on coverslips overnight. Then cover cells to a depth of 2–3 mm with 4% formaldehyde diluted in warm PBS for 15 min in room temperature. Then aspirate fixative, rinse three times in 1 × PBS for 5 min each. After treating with 0.5% Triton-X100 (ThermoFisher, USA) diluted in warm PBS and blocking specimen in blocking buffer (5% Bovine Serum Albumin diluted in warm PBS, BioFroxx, Guangzhou, China) for 60 min in room temperature, primary antibodies were applied for 4  C overnight. AlexaFluor488- conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:1000, Molecular Probes, A11029), AlexaFluor488-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000, Molecular Probes, A11034) or AlexaFluor594-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000, Molecular Probes, A11037) secondary antibodies were used in room-temperature for 1 h. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (1 μg/ml, Molecular Probes, D1306). Protein subcellular localization was analyzed under a Zeiss 510 META or Leica TCS-SP2 confocal laser scanning microscope. The concentration of primary antibody was rabbit anti-CD68 (1:200, Abcam, ab125212), rabbit anti-CD163 (1:200, Proteintech, 16,646–1-AP), rabbit anti-CD204 (1:200, Abcam, ab123946), rabbit anti-CD206 (1:200, Abcam, ab64693), mouse anti-Arg1 (1:200, Abcam, ab239731), rabbit anti-Mrc1 (1:200, Abcam, ab64693), rabbit anti-Fizz1 (1:200, Abcam, ab39626).

Cultured cells were treated with BDNF for the indicated times, washed with PBS and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature. Cells were permeabilized with PBS/0.5%Triton X-100 and then blocked for 1 hr with PBS/1% BSA/5% normal goat serum and exposed to primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Cells were washed 3X with PBS, and exposed to secondary antibodies coupled to different fluorophores for 1 hr at room temp. Cells were washed three times in PBS and then mounted using Prolong Gold containing 4′,6′-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Life Technologies P36934). Cells were analyzed by epifluorescence (Nikon Eclipse TE200), confocal (Zeiss 510 Meta), or enhanced resolution (Leica SP8, 63X, 1.4 NA, Lightning Mode) microscopy. No immunostaining was seen in controls with omission of the primary antibodies.

Immunofluorescence Staining and Confocal Microscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were grown overnight on coverslips and then covered to a depth of 2-3 mm with 4% formaldehyde diluted in 1 × PBS for 15 min in room temperature. Then the fixative was aspirated, followed by rinsing thrice, each for 5 min, in 1 × PBS. After treating with 0.5% Triton-X100 (ThermoFisher, USA) diluted in warm PBS and blocking agent in blocking buffer (5% bovine serum albumin diluted in warm PBS, BioFroxx, Guangzhou, China) for 1 h at room temperature, the cells were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C followed by secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. The primary and secondary antibodies used are shown in Table S1. Nuclear staining was performed using 1 μg/mL of 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Molecular Probes, D1306). Protein subcellular localization was observed under a Zeiss 510 META or Leica TCS-SP2 confocal laser scanning 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.
