Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cytospin preparations (20,000 cells per slide) were prepared as previously described [14 (link), 20 (link)], fixed with 10% neutral-buffered formalin (NBF) for 10 min at room temperature, and stained for Keratin 5 (Covance Innovative Antibodies, Rabbit, 1:1000) and Keratin 14 (Thermo Scientific, Mouse, 1:500). Slides were counterstained with 1 µg/ml 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Images of at least 200 nucleated cells were acquired using Zeiss Imager.Z1 fluorescent microscope (Zeiss) and quantified using ImageJ software.

Tracheal Tissue Sectioning and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tracheal tissue sections (5 μm) were generated from paraffin‐embedded tissues and processed as described previously.22 All antibodies (K5, CCSP, BrdU, and ACT), and staining methods were previously described.19 EdU was detected using the ClickIt method and followed the manufacturer's instructions. Images were acquired using an upright Zeiss Imager Z1 fluorescent microscope and AxioVision software (Carl Zeiss) or an inverted Zeiss 200 M confocal microscope using Intelligent Imaging Innovations Inc. software. Cell type frequency was quantified as previously indicated22 and values were expressed as a percent of total epithelial cells. N = 6 tracheas/group.

Tissue sections (5 μm) from the trachea and the right lower lobe of lung were generated from paraffin embedded tissue. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The study pathologist (DTM) graded the levels of dysplasia and performed all the histological analyses.
For immunofluorescence studies, antigens were detected with antibodies to K5, K14, CCSP, ACT, BrdU, p63, NGFR, and involucrin employing previously described staining methods [15 ]. Images were acquired using an upright Zeiss Imager Z1 fluorescent microscope and AxioVision software (Carl Zeiss).

Comet Assay Protocol for DNA Damage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Comet assay experiments were performed under neutral pH conditions in TBE buffer using a commercial protocol (Trevigen, Gaithersburg, MD). DNA was stained with SYBR Green and the comets were imaged by Zeiss Imager.Z1 fluorescent microscope (Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany) and analyzed using the software CometScore (Autocomet.com). The tail moments were calculated for at least 50 nuclei. Experiments involving siRNA-mediated knock down required an extended time frame for androgen deprivation due to the transfection protocol used. Due to slight variations in the androgen deprivation protocol, the magnitude of changes in comet tail moment differed in these experiments, and comparisons were made within experimental batches to measure the relative effect of androgen stimulation.

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.
