Embryos were harvested at different points between E8.5 to E10.5. Embryos at E10.5 were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight at 4 °C. For immunostaining of whole-mount embryos, after paraformaldehyde fixation, the embryos were sequentially dehydrated in methanol and then incubated in the permeabilization buffer (PBlec) (PBS pH6.8, 1% Tween 20, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM MnCl2) for 20 min at room temperature. After permeabilization, the embryos were incubated with primary antibody rat anti-endomucin or rabbit anti-DHX15 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) (1:20 dilution) in PBlec buffer overnight at 4 °C. To remove residual primary antibody, embryos were washed with PBT (PBS pH 6.8, 0.1% Tween) for 5 × 10 min. Next, the embryos were incubated with secondary antibody Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rat or Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) (1∶500 dilution) in the dark overnight at 4 °C, and then washed with PBT for 3 × 10 min and postfix in 4% paraformaldehyde. Negative controls for endomucin and DHX15 detection were performed by omitting the primary antibodies in the immunofluorescence reactions. Images were acquired using fluorescence stereomicroscope (Leica Microsystems, Heerbrugg, Switzerland) and immunofluorescence microscope (Nikon Eclipse E600, Kanagawa, Japan) systems.

Tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, cryoprotected overnight in a 30% sucrose solution and embedded in optimal cutting temperature medium. Next, 2-µm frozen sections were rehydrated, blocked with 5% normal goat serum and incubated with rat anti-endomucin or rabbit anti-Lyve-1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) as a primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. The binding sites of the primary antibodies were revealed with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rat or Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA). Tissues for which immunostaining was performed without primary antibodies were used as negative controls. Slides were mounted using Vectashield (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and samples were visualized with a fluorescence microscope (Nikon Eclipse E600, Kanagawa, Japan).

Cells were labeled with 50 μM IdU for 30 min and then 50 μM CldU for 30 min. Cells were then trypsinized and resuspended in ice-cold PBS at 2.5 × 105 cell/ml. DNA spreads were made as previously described63 (link) with modifications. Briefly, 2 μl cell suspensions were mixed with 8 μl spreading buffer (200 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 50 mM EDTA, 0.5% SDS) on a silane-coated slide. After 5 min, the slides were tilted at 15° to allow DNA to run down the slide, air dried, and then fixed in methanol/acetic acid (3:1). The slides were treated with 2.5 N HCl at 37 °C for 1 h, washed 3 times in PBS, and blocked with 2% bovine serum albumin in PBS. The slides were then incubated with mouse anti-BrdU/IdU and rat anti-BrdU/CldU in blocking buffer at 4 °C overnight. After washing, the slides were incubated in secondary antibody mixture of Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rat and Alexa Fluor 568-conjugated goat anti-mouse (Invitrogen) at room temperature for 1 h. The slides were then washed and mounted in Prolong gold antifade (Invitrogen). Microscopy was carried out using a Zeiss Axio Observer with oil immersion lens. Fiber length was measured based on a conversion factor of 1 µm to 2.59 kb.

Cardiac fibroblasts were cultured on 0.1% gelatin-coated glass coverslips in a 6-well plate until confluent and treated daily with 100U/mL murine IFNγ (Peprotech) for 3 days. At the end of each treatment, cell layers were washed twice with PBS and fixed in 3% PFA. Nonspecific binding was prevented by incubation with PBS containing 10% goat serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 1 h. Cells were incubated with primary antibodies against Vimentin (Abcam Cat# ab20346) and MHCII (Invitrogen Cat #14–5321-82) at 1:250 dilution. The cells were then incubated at 4°C overnight and washed three times with PBS. As controls, parallel coverslips were incubated with no primary antibody. Alexa Fluor 568–conjugated goat anti–mouse (Invitrogen; Cat # A-11004) and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rat ( Invitrogen; Cat # A48262) at 1:500 dilution were used as secondary antibodies. Visualization was performed with a Nikon Ti inverted fluorescent microscope.

Measuring DNA replication dynamics in HSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA molecular combing coupled with FISH was performed as described in Suram et al (2012 (link)) with minor modifications. HSCs were sequentially labeled with 25 μM IdU for 1 h, followed by 200 μM CldU for one additional hour in the culture medium. Since mouse HSCs were maintained in suspension, no medium changes were performed between the two labelings, and a higher concentration of the second analogue was used in order to compete over the first one during incorporation into the replicating DNA. Cells were then harvested and centrifuged twice and incubated for 3 h in media without IdU/CldU. This procedure was repeated three times. Halogenated nucleotides were detected with specific primary antibodies (IdU: mouse anti-BrdU, Becton Dickinson; CldU: rat anti-BrdU, Abcam) and secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated goat anti-mouse, Molecular Probes; Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rat; Molecular Probes). Images were acquired with a spinning disk fluorescence microscope, and labeled DNA molecules were individually manually measured by ImageJ software and analyzed by Excel.

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.
