Calu-3 Cells Imaging with IOH-NPs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Calu-3 (epithelial human
lung cancer) cells were seeded onto black
96-well plates with optical bottom (Thermo Fisher) at a density of
5 × 10–4 cells/mL. After 24 h, the IOH-NPs
were carefully redispersed and added to the growth medium at varying
concentrations. At varying time-points after treatment, the cells
were fixed with 4% formaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)
for 10 min at room temperature, followed by washing with phosphate-buffered
saline (PBS). Nuclei were labeled with DAPI (5 ng/mL). Cell membranes
were stained using the CytoPainter Cell Plasma Membrane Staining Kit
(Abcam, United Kingdom) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Confocal three-dimensional images were acquired using a Zeiss LSM980
microscope in Airyscan super-resolution mode.

3D-Printed Silk Bioink Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 3D‐printed silk bioink was housed in a customized device manufactured using 3D Stereolithography (LSA) printing technology (FormLab). The model was created using Fusion 360 (AutoDesk), and PreForm software was used for slicing (FormLab). The printing was done using a long‐term non‐toxic biocompatible resin (FormLab). A glass window at the bottom ensured possibilities for live‐cell imaging and high‐resolution microscopy. For immunofluorescence imaging samples were fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 20 min, at room temperature. Samples were probed with anti‐CD34 (1:100), anti‐CD61 (1:100), anti‐CD41 (1:100) (Beckman Coulter), CD42b (1:100) (Invitrogen), or anti‐β1‐tubulin (1:200) (Abcam), overnight at 4 °C. Alexa Fluor secondary antibody (1:500) (Invitrogen) have been incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33 258 (Sigma–Aldrich). Samples were imaged by an SP8 confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica). For live imaging, samples were stained with FITC conjugated anti‐CD61 or anti‐CD41 antibodies, or Cytopainter Cell Plasma Membrane Staining Kit and NBD Cholesterol Staining Dye Kit (Abcam). Nuclei were stained with BioTracker NIR694 Nuclear Dye (Sigma‐Aldrich). Isotype controls were used as a negative control to exclude non‐specific background signals. The acquisition parameters were set on the negative controls.

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.
