Mouse cells derived from peritoneal lavage (exudate) were collected after 12 h from zymosan intraperitoneal injection. Cells were then plated on fibronectin-coated (catalog no. F1141; Sigma-Aldrich) glass coverslips in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium growth media (catalog no. 10565018; ThermoFisher) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin; after attachment for ∼3 h, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. Cells were then washed with 0.05% tris-buffered saline Triton (TBS-T). Blocking was performed with 3% bovine serum albumin and 3% normal horse serum in 0.05% TBS-T. Cells were then stained with a rat anti-mouse Ly-6G (clone 1A8; catalog no. 551459; BD Biosciences) and a rabbit polyclonal anti-mouse F4/80 (D4C8V; catalog no. 30325; Cell Signaling). Secondary antibodies were conjugated with DyLight 488 and DyLight 594 (Vector Laboratories). Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and slides were mounted with Dako mounting media (Agilent). Rabbit polyclonal immunoglobulin G (catalog no. ab171870; Abcam) was used as a negative control (SI Appendix, Fig. S2C). Images were acquired with a Nikon Eclipse T12 confocal microscope and processed with Fiji open-source software.

Cryosectioning and Immunostaining of Muscle Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolated TA muscles were snap-frozen in liquefied nitrogen-chilled isopentane (Sigma-Aldrich, United States), cryoembedded and cryosectioned at 7-μm thickness. All sections were fixed with paraformaldehyde solution (4% in PBS) for 10 min, followed by either hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining or immunohistochemistry, as previously described (Zhang et al., 2014 (link); Xia et al., 2016 (link)).
To evaluate muscle histology, images covering entire H&E-stained muscle sections were captured for analyses of centrally nucleated myofibers and myofiber cross-sectional area. For immunohistochemistry, primary antibodies, including rat anti-mouse Ly6G (Clone 1A8; 5 μg/ml; BD Biosciences, United States) and rat anti-mouse F4/80 (CI:A3-1; 10 μg/ml; Bio-Rad, United States); and secondary antibodies, including Alexa Fluor 488- or 568-conjugated goat anti-rat secondary antibodies (5 μg/ml; Thermo Fisher Scientific, United States) were used in the present study. The injury loci were identified and the fluorescent images were captured for qualitative analyses. All images were captured using an Eclipse 80i microscope (Nikon, Japan) equipped with a SPOT-camera (SPOT Imaging, United States) and analyzed with ImageJ image analysis software (National Institutes of Health, United States).

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.
