Cells grown on glass coverslips were washed with PBS, fixed for 15 min with 4% formaldehyde, and washed with PBS. After quenching residual formaldehyde with 0.1 M glycine, cells were washed with PBS, permeabilized for 10 min at room temperature with 0.1% Triton X-100, and then washed with PBS. After blocking in 5% fetal bovine serum, cells sequentially were incubated with primary and secondary antibodies diluted in 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Apart from the calnexin antibody, which was incubated overnight at 4°C, primary antibodies were incubated for 1 h at room temperature and secondary antibodies were incubated for 45 min at room temperature. Cells were washed in PBS after each antibody incubation. Coverslips were mounted in ProLong Gold antifade reagent (Invitrogen) and analyzed using an LSM 5 PASCAL laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss).
The following primary antibodies were used at the indicated dilution: mouse anti-Myc tag (05-724; 1/500; Millipore), rabbit anti-calnexin (2679S; 1/50; New England BioLabs), rabbit anti-Giantin (ab80864; 1/500; Abcam), mouse anti-GM130 (610822; 1/500; BD Pharmingen), sheep anti-TGN46 (AHP500GT; 1/500; AbD Serotec), and rabbit anti-HRV16 2C (this study; 1/500). Secondary antibodies were obtained from Jackson ImmunoResearch (1/200).

Immunostaining of Fixed and Permeabilized Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 minutes, washed three times with PBS, and then permeabilized in 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 minutes. After washing three times with PBS and blocking with PBS containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), the cells were immunostained with rabbit anti-flag (2368s, Cell Signaling), rabbit anti-giantin (ab80864, Abcam), mouse anti-pan-Cadherin (ab22744, Abcam), or mouse anti-atp2c1 (WH0027032M1, Sigma) in PBS with 1% FBS at 4°C overnight. The cells were then washed three times with PBS and incubated with mouse anti-calnexin Alexa Fluor 647 (ab202572, Abcam), goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 (A11008, Molecular Probes), donkey anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488 (ab150105, Abcam), donkey anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 555 (A31572, Molecular probes), and/or goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 350 (A0408, Beyotime) in PBS with 1% FBS at 37°C for 1.5 hours. The slides were mounted under coverslips using ProLong Gold Antifade reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and fluorescence images were obtained using an LSM-710 microscope (Zeiss, Germany) equipped with a 63X/1.4 numerical aperture oil-immersion objective.

Immunofluorescent Staining of Giantin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cells were fixed in 3% paraformaldehyde in phosphate buffered saline (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) for 10 min at room temperature, permeabilized in 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS, blocked in 3% bovine serum albumin (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) for 10 min, stained using rabbit anti-giantin antibody (ab80864, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) at 1:100 for 1 hour and washed 5 × 5 min in PBS. Cells were incubated with fluorophore-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody at 1:400 (Molecular Probes, Carlsbad, CA) for 1 hour and washed 5 × 5 min in PBS plus DAPI. Slides were rinsed in distilled water and mounted using Prolong Gold (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY)
Images of fixed cells were captured using a Leica DM4000B epifluorescence microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) and a Retiga Exi CCD camera (Qimaging, Surrey, BC, Canada). Images were captured using SlideBook 4.2 software (Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Denver, Co) and minimally processed using ImageJ.

Measuring Autophagy Flux in HeLa Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells were fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde or ice-cold methanol for 10 min. The cells were then stained using antibodies against giantin (ab80864, Abcam), RAB11 (ab128913, Abcam), EEA1 (ab2900, Abcam), and LC3B (no. 2775, Cell signaling Technology) overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, cells were incubated with donkey anti-mouse IgG–Alexa Fluor 568 (A10037, Invitrogen) or donkey anti-rabbit IgG–Alexa Fluor 568 (A10042, Invitrogen). To determine autophagic flux, the colored puncta in cells expressing mRFP-GFP-GABARAPL2 and mRFP-GFP-LC3B were counted with the ImageJ macro “Red and Green Puncta Colocalization Macro.”

Immunofluorescent imaging was carried out according to standard methods as described in [15 (link)]. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. For visualising intracellular markers, cells were permeabilised wit 0.25% Nonidet P-40 alternative in NETGEL buffer (150 mM NaCl, 5mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.4, 0.05% Nonidet P-40 alternative, 0.25% gelatin and 0.02% sodium azide). Antibodies used in this study were: B3Galt6 (H00126792-B01P, Biotechne), Giantin (ab80864, abcam), Laminin α4 (AF7340, Biotechne), Δ-HS (F69-3G10, AMS Biotechnology), perlecan (7B5, ThermoFisher Scientific), TRITC-conjugated phalloidin (FAK100, Merck), Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti-rabbit (A11012), Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse (A21202) and Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-sheep (A11015) from Invitrogen/ThermoFisher Scientific. For B3Galt6 intensity in Golgi apparatus, the region of interest per cell was defined by Giantin-positive staining using ImageJ selection tools. The integrated density of B3Galt6 fluorescence of selected regions and background reading were then measured and the difference between the two numbers were corrected total cell fluorescence.

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.
