SHED cells were seeded into 75 cm2 flasks at a density of 2 × 106 cells per flask in a growth culture medium and allowed to attach for 24 h. Then, the cells were treated with PEG-AuNR or PEG-AuNS suspensions (0.5 nM) in the tissue culture medium containing FBS and serum-free medium (SFM) was immediately applied to the cells for 6 h. The media was discarded after 6 h of incubation, and the cells were washed with PBS. The cells were fixed with 10% PFA for 10 min. Then, the fixed cells were washed thrice with the washing buffer. After that, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) stain (Thermofisher, Waltham, MA, USA) was added to the cells and incubated for 5 min, followed by a washing step with PBS. Finally, coverslips were transferred onto glass slides loaded with one drop of mounting media (DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark). Confocal images were acquired via a laser scanning microscope 780 (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). The objective used for acquiring the images was a Plan-Apochromat 63X/1.4 Oil DIC M27. The cells were imaged at excitation/emission wavelengths of 532 nm/750 nm for gold and 360 nm/460 nm for DAPI.

Kidneys bearing islet grafts were snap frozen in OCT compound (Sakura Finetek USA, Inc., Torrance, CA, USA) with liquid nitrogen and sectioned at 4μm thickness. For histology, tissue samples were stained with hematoxylin/eosin (Sigma-Aldrich) and analyzed using Zeiss Axioskop light microscopy (Thornwood, NY, USA).

For visualization of insulin, sections were stained with guinea pig anti-insulin polyclonal antibody (1:200, Dako, Carpinteria, CA, USA; #A0564) followed by visualization with donkey anti-guinea pig Alexa 488 (1:250, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA). A 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) stain (Life Technologies) was performed to identify cell nuclei. All negative controls were performed by eliminating the primary antibodies. Images were visualized using Zeiss Axio Scope A1, acquired with Jenoptik ProgRes MF cool camera (Jenoptik, Jena, Germany) and analyzed with ProgRes Mac Capture Pro 2.7 software (Jenoptik).

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.
