For immunofluorescence staining, rehydrated sections were immersed in a solution of proteinase K (20 mg/ml; Thermo Fisher Scientific) in 95% (v/v) TE buffer [50 mM tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100 (pH 8)] with 5% (v/v) glycerol and incubated for 15 min at 37°C. Sections were washed with PBS and permeabilized using 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 10 min at RT. The sections were immersed in a blocking solution [1% (w/v) BSA, glycine (0.25 M), normal donkey serum (5%, v/v), and normal goat serum (5%, v/v) in tris-buffered solution (TBS)] and incubated for 1 hour at RT. Sections were then incubated with primary antibody against CD39 (5 μg/ml; AF4398, R&D Systems), CD73 (5 μg/ml; AF4488, R&D Systems), and A2BR (1:200; MBS8207549, MyBioSource, San Diego, CA) in diluent solution (1%, w/v) and normal donkey serum (1%, v/v) in TBS overnight at 4°C. Sections were stained with secondary antibody using anti-donkey or anti-goat Alexa Fluor 647 (1:250; Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA). For immunocytochemical costaining, cells were incubated with primary antibody against CD39 (1:100; ab227840, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and CD73 (5 μg/ml; AF4488, R&D Systems) and stained with secondary antibody using anti-donkey Alexa Fluor 488 and anti-goat Alexa Fluor 647 (1:250; Jackson ImmunoResearch). Images were acquired and presented as pseudocolors.

Histological and Molecular Characterization

At the experimental end-point animals were euthanized and tissues were fresh frozen in liquid nitrogen or fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS overnight. To review histology, slides were stained by haematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) were performed using standard protocols. Specificity of immunostaining was assessed by incubation in the absence of primary antibody. We used the following primary antibodies: RFP for Strawberry detection (ab34771, 1:400; Abcam), Aquaporin 1 (NB-600–749, 1:500; Novus Biologicals), THP (AF5175, 1:100; R&D), Aquaporin 2 (ab105171, 1:1000; Abcam), Nephrin (AF3159, 1:100; R&D), CD34 (ab8158, 1:50; Abcam), CD73 (AF4488, 1:100; R&D), GFP (ab290, 1:1000; Abcam), HIF2a (NB100-132, 1:150; Novus Biologicals), CA9 (sc-25600, 1:200; Santa Cruz), turbo-RFP (AB234, 1:500; Evrogen) and pS6 (2211, 1:200; Cell Signalling). Secondary antibodies used were conjugated to HRP (IHC) or Alexa-fluor® fluorochromes (IF). Fluorescent images were obtained by confocal laser-scanning microscopy (Leica TCS SP5).

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.
