Immunostaining was performed essentially as in ref. (9 (link)). Cells grown on coverslips were fixed in 3.5% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.5% NP-40 and blocked in 3% BSA. The following primary antibodies were used: UBF (H-300) and RPA194 (C-1) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), NCL (4E2, Abcam), NPM (FC-61991, Invitrogen), FBL (ab582, Abcam), γH2AX (Upstate), KAP-1 (BD Transduction Laboratories) and p53 (7F5, Cell Signaling Technologies). Secondary Alexa488 and Alexa594-conjugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit antibodies were from Invitrogen. DNA was stained with DAPI. Images were captured using Axioplan2 fluorescence microscope (Zeiss) equipped with AxioCam HRc CCD-camera and AxioVision 4.5 software using EC Plan-Neofluar objectives (Zeiss). Image analysis was conducted using FrIDA designed for the analysis of RGB color image datasets as in ref. (9 (link)). Hue saturation and brightness ranges for green and red fluorescence channel and DNA (blue) were defined for each image set. Image intensities were determined as the fraction of positive cells divided total nuclear area as defined by DNA staining. An average of 100 cells was quantified from two fields for each sample.

For all immunofluorescence procedures, we followed our earlier protocols (Peltonen et al., 2014a (link)). Cells grown on coverslips were fixed in 3.5% paraformaldehyde or 100% methanol, permeabilized with 0.5% NP-40 lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.5], 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40, and 50 mM NaF), and blocked in 3% BSA. The following primary antibodies were used: POLR1B/RPA135 (4H6; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), POLR1A/RPA194 (C-1; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), NPM (FC-61991; Invitrogen), NCL (4E2; Abcam), and fibrillarin (ab5821; Abcam). Secondary antibodies used were Alexa 488 and Alexa 594-conjugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit antibodies (Invitrogen). DNA was stained with Hoechst 33342. Images were captured using DM6000B wide-field fluorescence microscope (Leica). The microscope was equipped with a Hamamatsu Orca-Flash 4.0 V2 sCMOS camera and LAS X software by using 40×/1.25–0.75 HCX PL APO CS oil and 63×/1.40–0.60 HCX PL APO Lbd.bl. oil objectives. Quantitative image analysis of nucleolar protein expression was as described in Peltonen et al. (2014a) (link) and was conducted on at least 200 cells per sample on three to five fields.

Immunostaining was performed essentially as in ref. [14 (link)] and ref. [30 (link)]. Cells grown on coverslips were fixed in 3.5% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.5% NP-40 and blocked in 3% BSA.The following primary antibodies were used: UBF (H-300, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), NCL (4E2, Abcam), RPA194 (C-1, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), phospho-ATM (Cell Signaling Technology), γH2AX (Millipore), phospho-KAP1 (Bethyl Laboratories), phospho-DNA-PKcs (Abcam). Secondary Alexa488 and Alexa594-cojugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit antibodies were from Invitrogen. DNA was stained with DAPI. Images were captured using Axioplan2 fluorescence microscope (Zeiss) equipped with AxioCam HRc CCD-camera and AxioVision 4.5 software using EC Plan-Neofluar 20x/0.5 and 40x/0.75 objectives (Zeiss). Image analysis was conducted using FrIDA designed for the analysis of RGB color image datasets as in ref. [14 (link)] and ref. [25 (link)]. Hue saturation and brightness ranges for green and red fluorescence channel and DNA (blue) were defined for each image set. Image intensities were determined as the fraction of positive cells divided total nuclear area as defined by DNA staining. An average of 100 cells was quantified from two fields for each sample.

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.
