Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For F-actin staining, pre-treated macrophages were prepared in 12-well plates with 18-mm diameter glass coverslips and were infected with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated B. abortus as previously described [20 (link)]. Macrophages were viewed under a laser scanning confocal microscope (Olympus FV1000; Olympus, Japan) and images were processed by using FV10-ASW Viewer software (ver. 3.1; Olympus).
For fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, cells in six-well plates were harvested after pre-treatment and infection as described above. Lysophosphatidylcholine (20 µg/mL) containing tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC)-phalloidin (1 µM) was used to permeabilize and stain the infected cells (both purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) followed by incubation for 30 min at 22℃. After final washing, the F-actin content was quantified by using a FACSVerse flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, USA).

HeLa cells were fixed with formalin buffer solution (containing 4% w/v formaldehyde, Sigma) for 20 min at RT and then washed twice with D-PBS. The fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X-100 for 5 min. After washing with PBS three times, the cells were blocked with PBS containing 2% BSA for 10 min. The cells were stained with 1 μg/ml tetramethylrhodamine-isothiocyanate (TRITC)-phalloidin (Sigma) for 15 min at room temperature to visualize actin cytoskeleton and pedestals. After three washes with PBS, the cells were stained with 4'-6-diamidino-2 phenylindole (DAPI, 300 nM) for 5 min at room temperature to visualize bacteria. After three washes with PBS, the coverslips were allowed to dry at room temperature during 20 min and mounted using 5 μl of mounting medium containing 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5), 10% Mowiol 4–88 (Calbiochem), and 25% glycerol with phenylnediamine (Sigma). Micrographs were taken using a Nikon Eclipse TE 200-U fluorescence microscope equipped with a Hamamatsu camera. Images were processed with Adobe Photoshop. Quantification of pedestals was done by counting the number of pedestals of attached bacteria for a total of 40 infected cells in representative microscope fields.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Polyclonal antibodies against recombinant ppFhCL3 and recombinant FhCL3 zymogen were obtained from rabbits immunised with each of the respective recombinant proteins (Eurogentec). F. hepatica NEJs 6 h and 24 h post-excystment were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h at room temperature (RT). After three washes with antibody diluent (AbD: 0.1% [v/v] Triton X-100, 0.1% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% [w/v] sodium azide in 1x PBS), the NEJs were probed with either anti-ppFhCL3, anti-FhCL3 or rabbit pre-immune antiserum diluted 1:500 in AbD buffer, overnight (ON) at 4 °C. After three washes in AbD, the secondary antibody, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma-Aldrich) (1:200), was added and incubated ON at 4 °C. Phalloidin-tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) (200 μg/mL [w/v]) (Sigma-Aldrich) was used to counter-stain the muscle tissue and provide structure. All the specimens were whole-mounted in a glycerol solution containing 0.1 M propyl gallate and visualised in a confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) (Leica TCS SP5) under the HCX PL APO CS 100x oil objective lens, using a Leica type F immersion oil.

Finally, the cells were stained with 0.4 μg/ml phalloidin-tetramethyl rhodamine iso-thiocyanate (TRITC; Sigma-Aldrich) at RT for one hour. Imaging was performed by a confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica TCS SP2 AOBS, Leica Microsystems B.V., Rijswijk, The Netherlands).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell attachment was evaluated by counting the cell numbers on substrates after 4-h incubation. Cell proliferation was determined by measuring the increase in cell numbers from 24 to 72 h of culture without renewal of the medium. At defined time points, the HUVECs cultured on experimental substrates were fixed with 4 % paraformaldehyde in PBS for 20 min at room temperature. Fixed cells were then permeabilized with 1 % Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS for 5 min and blocked with 1 % bovine serum albumin (BSA; Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS for 60 min. To examine the cytoskeleton, the F-actin of the fixed cells was incubated with 2 μg/mL phalloidin tetramethyl rhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC; Sigma-Aldrich) for 60 min. The cells were also counterstained with Hoechst solution (Sigma-Aldrich) to image the nucleus. To determine the cell attachment and proliferation, the mean cell number of each substrate was analyzed from at least 10 fields at ×40 magnifications. Hoechst-stained nucleus was counted by using the “Analyze particles” tool in ImageJ software.

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.
