Immunofluorescence Staining of Lung Tissues

Lung tissues were collected from mice that had been sacrificed under a CO2 atmosphere. They were filled with PBS (−):optimal cutting temperature (OCT) compound (1:1), and the resulting lung tissues were embedded in OCT compound. The resulting tissues were sliced at a thickness of 5 μm. After placing the slices on MAS-coated glass slides (Matsunami, Tokyo, Japan), they were then incubated with the first antibody solution using a Cy3-labeled anti-αSMA antibody (Sigma-Aldrich, C6198), anti-mouse CD31 Armenian Hamster immunoglobulin G (IgG) (MA31505, Thermo Fisher Scientific), anti-mouse VEcad rat IgG (138001, BioLegend), and anti-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) mouse IgG (364101, BioLegend). The slices were then washed twice with PBS (−) and immersed in a second antibody solution containing DyLight488-labeled anti-Armenian hamster IgG goat IgG (405503, BioLegend) for CD31 and AlexaFluor647-labeled anti-Rat IgG goat IgG (A21247, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 30 min. The slices were covered with a coverslip (Matsunami, 1s) after washing with PBS (−). The tumor slices were observed with a Nikon A1R system (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) using CFI Plan Apo Lambda 20× or CFI Plan Apo VC 60× water immersion objective lens.

Confocal Imaging of GCaMP6f, Reelin, and Wfs1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mounted slices were imaged under a confocal microscope (A1Rsi; Nikon) using a 20x (CFI Plan Apo Lambda 20×, NA 0.75; Nikon) or 40x objective (CFI Plan Fluor 40× Oil, NA 1.3; Nikon). The fluorescence signals of GCaMP6f, Alexa fluor dye 568, and 647 were sequentially collected, except the co-staining of reelin and Wfs1. Since the fluorescence signal of Wfs1 was much stronger than that of reelin, the signal of Wfs1 could contaminate the signal of reelin. We therefore performed a spectrum excitation over the range of 547–733 nm and isolated the emission signals from two major peaks, which corresponded to reelin and Wfs1, using the “blind unmixing” function in the NIS elements confocal software (Nikon).

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.
