Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect the effect of nanofibers on scavenging intracellular ROS, DCFH-DA staining (Beyotime, China) was used. Briefly, after RAW 264.7 ​cells cocultured with LPS and nanofibers for 24 ​h, DCFH-DA was used to incubate the samples for 30 ​min, then the live RAW 264.7 ​cells were stained by using Hoechst 33342 solution (Beyotime, China). For the blank group, RAW 264.7 ​cells were added to the plates. The results were detected by laser scanning confocal microscope at 485 ​nm.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded in 12-well plates in which glass coverslips were placed, and immunofluorescent staining was performed when cells grew to approximately 90% confluency. After 20 min fixation using 4% paraformaldehyde, the cell membrane was permeabilized with PBS solution containing 0.5% Triton X-100 (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) for 20 min, and after 2 hr blocking with 5% BSA, cells were incubated with one of the indicated primary antibodies at 4°C overnight in a humidified chamber. Then, following a triple wash, the cells were exposed to the Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated secondary antibody for 1 hr in a dark environment. The cell nuclei were then counterstained using Hoechst 33342 solution (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) for a duration of 10 min.

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.
