HUVEC and WJ-MSC bilayers were fixed with 4% PFA at 2 and 24 h. Cells were permeabilized with 0.15% triton X-100, blocked with 5% goat serum for 30 min at RT, then incubated overnight at 4°C with mouse anti-human VE-cadherin (10 µg/ml) (BD Biosciences, U.K. catalog# 5556661). After washes, cells were incubated for 2 h in the dark with goat anti-mouse IgG-FITC (Sigma Aldrich, U.K., catalog# F0257) (1:100). Unbiased ten images per coverslip were obtained with Nikon fluorescence microscope with appropriate filters to allow visualization of PKH26 and FITC (duration of co-culture and sample ID were blinded). Images were used to count paracellular junctions and characterised according to VE-cadherin staining pattern at cell-cell borders: continuous or disrupted. A grid was used by ImageJ software so that all the junctional regions had the same chance of being counted, and junctions from every other square which did not cross the ‘forbidden line’ were analysed [23 (link),24 (link)].

ANA in the mouse sera were visualized using 12-well microscope slides covered with HEp-2 cells (MBL Corporation). Slides were incubated with mouse serum at the 1/200 dilution for 30 min at room temperature. After two washes of 5 min with PBS, goat anti-mouse IgG-FITC (Sigma) was added at a 1:250 dilution for 30 min at room temperature and washed with PBS for 5min at least three times. The fluorescence of anti-nuclear antibodies was detected by a Zeiss Axio Imager Upright microscope (Carl Zeiss) with a × 20 Zeiss Plan-Neofluar objective. ANA staining intensity score was performed in a genotype-blind fashion and was based on relative fluorescence of stained nuclear and cytoplasmic material; the scale ranged from 0 to 4 arbitrary units, according to the following criteria: 0, no fluorescence; 1, very dim fluorescence; 2, dull fluorescence; 3, distinct fluorescence; and 4, high intensity fluorescence.
Serum anti-dsDNA IgG levels were quantified using a mouse anti-dsDNA IgG-specific ELISA kit (Alphadiagnostic International), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The plates were read at 450 nm using an ELISA plate reader.

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.
