Third instar wandering larvae were dissected in 1 × Ca2+ free saline (0.128 M NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 5 mM EGTA, 4 mM MgCl2, 5 mM HEPES, 0.0355 M Sucrose) at room temperature (22°C) on a sylgard coated dish. Larvae were incubated in 4% formaldehyde in PBS for 20 min at room temperature, and permeabilized overnight at 4°C (PBS + 0.3% Tween). Samples were immunostained with rabbit anti-GFP at 1:500 (A-11122, Invitrogen) overnight, then Alexa488-conjugated-donkey anti-rabbit IgG at 1:500 (711-545-152, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) and Alexa647-conjugated-goat anti-HRP at 1:100 (123-605-021, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) overnight. Samples were imaged with a 20 × /N.A.0.60 oil objective on a Leica SPE laser scanning confocal microscope (JH Technologies), with identical imaging parameters among different genotypes. Images were processed with ImageJ using only linear adjustments of contrast and color.

In situ TUNEL assays were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions (Roche, Laval, QC, Canada) and counter-stained with DAPI (0.5 μg/ml) for 5 min. For immunohistochemistry, muscle sections were air-dried 30 min at 65 °C and fixed 10 min in 4% paraformaldehyde. After washes, antigen retrieval was done for 20 min at 92 °C with citrate buffer (10 mM citric acid, 0.05% Tween-20, pH 6.0) and sections were cooled to 20 °C. Sections were permeabilized 10 min in 0.5% Triton X-100, washed and blocked 1 h in 5% normal donkey serum (Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA, USA). Antibodies used for detection were: mouse anti-Pax7 (DSHB, 1/100), and rabbit anti-C/EBPβ (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA, SC-150, 1/100) biotin-conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch) with Cy3-strepavidin (Jackson Immunoresearch), and Alexa488-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch). All primary antibodies were added on sections and incubated at 4 °C overnight. Secondary antibody labeling was done for 1 h.

Immunofluorescent Visualization of Neuronal Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Monkey LX was deeply anaesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (50 mg kg−1, intravenously) and perfused transcardially with 0.1 M PBS, followed by 10% formalin in PBS. The brain was removed from the skull, blocked into pieces and equilibrated with 30% sucrose in PBS. Frozen sections were cut at 50 μm thickness in the coronal plane. To visualize the immunoreactive signals of ChR2-EYFP and NeuN, the sections were immersed in 1% skim milk for 1 h and incubated overnight with rabbit anti-green fluorescent protein antibody (1:1,000 dilution, Life Technologies) and mouse monoclonal anti-NeuN antibody (1:1,000 dilution, Millipore) in PBS containing 1% normal donkey serum. The sections were then incubated in the same fresh medium containing Alexa488-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (1:400 dilution, Jackson ImmunoResearch) and Cy3-conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG (1:400 dilution, Jackson ImmunoResearch). Images of the sections were digitally captured using an optical microscope equipped with a high-grade charge-coupled device camera (Biorevo, Keyence).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunocytochemistry, AdMSCs and NRG1-AdMSCs were grown in four-well Lab-Tek II chamber slides (Nunc, USA) at a density of 2×104 cells/mL. Briefly, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at 4°C. The cells were incubated in blocking solution (10% normal donkey serum) for 30 min and then with rabbit polyclonal anti-NRG1 (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) for 16 h at 4°C. After washing with PBS, the cells were incubated with Cy3-conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG (1:500; Jackson ImmunoResearch, USA) for 1 h at room temperature (22 ± 3°C). After final washing with PBS, the cells were counterstained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI).
For immunohistochemical staining, the 40-μm-thick coronal sections were incubated with 10% normal donkey serum for 1 h and then with the following primary antibodies for 16 h at 4°C: rabbit polyclonal anti-NRG1 (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), mouse monoclonal anti-human nuclei (1:200; Millipore Corporation, USA). After washing with PBS, the sections were incubated with the following secondary antibodies for 2 h at room temperature (22 ± 3°C): Cy3-conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG (1:500; Jackson ImmunoResearch), Alexa488-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (1:500; Jackson ImmunoResearch). Then, after washing with PBS, the sections were mounted and observed using a confocal microscopy (LSM 510 Meta; Carl Zeiss Co., Germany).

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.
