Thin sections were cut with a diamond knife on an Ultra 45°C (Daitome AG, Nidau, Switzerland) and examined using a Tecnai G2 20 Twin transmission electron microscope (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA). Uranium lead double staining (with 2% uranyl acetate saturated aqueous solution, and then citrate for 15 min each). Ultrastructural features of autophagy in microglial cells were studied by TEM as previously described (25 (link)). Briefly, microglial cells were harvested following exposure to hypoxia, washed with PBS, fixed with 1% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer for 2 h at 4°C, then post-fixed with 1% OsO4 for 1.5 h in the same buffer at 20°C. The samples were then washed, dehydrated, and embedded in 812 embedding medium (SPI Supplies, Inc, West Chester, PA, USA) at 20°C for 12 h. Thin sections (60–80 nm) were cut with a diamond knife on an Ultra 45°C (Daitome AG) and examined using a Tecnai G2 20 Twin transmission electron microscope (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA).

Transmission Electron Microscopy of hIAPP Aggregates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The images of hIAPP aggregates were recorded by Tecnai G2 20 TWIN transmission electron microscope (FEI, USA) at 200 kV under vacuum. The point resolution was 0.27 nm, and the tracer resolution was 0.14 nm.
Image J software was used to measure the diameters of amyloid fibrils and amorphous aggregates in the TEM images. Mean diameters of fibrils and amorphous aggregates were calculated from 40 randomly selected fibrils or aggregates in each group. Results are expressed as mean ± SD [38 ].

Cell or tumour samples were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde and washed three times in PBS the next day. Samples were then fixed with 1% osmium acid at 4°C for 2‐3 h followed by washing in PBS and dehydration through an alcohol gradient. Successive permeation was then performed using acetone:epoxy resin (2:1), acetone:epoxy resin (1:1) and epoxy resin. Samples were embedded into epoxide resin, sliced with an EM UC7 ultramicrotome (Leica, Germany) and observed with a Tecnai G2 20 TWIN transmission electron microscope (FEI, USA).

Visualizing Extracellular Vesicle Surface Markers

Equal volumes of BEVs from each group were pooled. 10µL were spotted onto TEM grids. The grids were placed into blocking buffer for 1 hour and then incubated with anti-CD9 (1:500 dilution) at 4°C overnight. Subsequently, PBS was used to rinse the grids, which were floated on drops of the secondary antibody attached to 10-nm gold particles (AURION) at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The grids were rinsed with PBS and placed into 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer for 15 minutes. Finally, the grids were stained with uranyl acetate and viewed under a Tecnai G2 20 Twin transmission electron microscope (FEI; 200 kV).

Ultrathin-sectioning of Tannerella forsythia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ultrathin-sectioning of T. forsythia wild-type and TFΔ0955 and TFΔ2327 cells was carried out as described previously (Messner et al., 1984 ). Briefly, the room-temperature processing included fixation of samples with 2.5% (w/v) paraformaldehyde/ 2.5% (w/v) glutaraldehyde/ 0.5% (w/v) tannin in cacodylate buffer and osmium tetroxide fixation without ruthenium red. Dehydration was performed in an increasing alcohol series before samples were embedded in Epon resin (Gröpl, Austria).
Ultrathin-sectioned samples were investigated in a Tecnai G2 20 Twin transmission electron microscope (TEM; FEI), operating at 80 keV. Pictures were taken with an FEI Eagle 4k CCD camera (4,096 × 4,096 pixels) and images were processed using software developed in house based on Fourier domain techniques (Amos et al., 1982 (link), Crowther et al., 1996 (link)).

5 μL of the protein solution was collected from the solution of ThT measurements and diluted to 25 μg/mL solution with Tris buffer quickly. Then, 10 μL of the diluted sample was blotted on a Cu(II) grid (carbon-coated Formvar 300 mesh, Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA, USA), and stained with 2% (w/v) uranyl acetate for 20 min. The grids were allowed to dry thoroughly. Images were acquired using a Tecnai G2 20 TWIN transmission electron microscope (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA) at 200 kV.

On the 15th day of the co‐culture, ADSCs were harvested and centrifuged, and then were fixed in 2.5% glutaric dialdehyde (Boster Biotech). After incubation at 4°C for 12 hrs, the cells were fixed in 1% osmic acid (Boster Biotech) at 4°C for 1 hr, dehydrated in graded acetone series, and embedded in Epon 812 (Boster Biotech). Ultrastructural identification was performed under Tecnai G220TWIN transmission electron microscope (Fei, Hillsboro, OR, USA).

The effect of baicalin on the interaction between PAVECs and H.
parasuis
was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as
described previously, with minor modifications.16 (link) PAVECs (2 × 107) were seeded onto 24-well plates and treated
with baicalin at a concentration of 12.5, 25, 50, or 100 μg/ml for 2 h prior to
bacterial infection. H. parasuis (2 × 107 CFU/ml)
was added to the plates and co-incubated for 12 h. The infected cells were
gently washed five times with PBS. PAVECs were fixed with 0.1 M cacodylate
buffer (pH 7) including 5% glutaraldehyde and 0.15% ruthenium red at 37°C for
5 h. PAVECs were reacted with polycationic ferritin (1 mg/ml). The thin sections
were examined by a Tecnai G2 20 TWIN transmission electron microscope
(FEI, Hillsboro, OR).

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.
