One set of lymph nodes (both sacral and axillary) from both groups were snap-frozen in Tissue-Tek OCT (VWR, Radnor, PA) and sectioned at the Winship Cancer Institute’s Pathology Core. Frozen sections of excised sacral and axillary nodes were blocked in 10% BSA in PBS and incubated with primary antibody overnight, and then secondary antibody for 2 h. Primary antibodies were anti-CD86 (Cat: MA1-10299), anti-iNOS (Cat: PA3-030A), anti-MHCII (Cat: MA5-16913) [all 3 from Thermo Fisher Scientific] and anti-IL12A (Acris Antibodies, San Diego, CA; Cat: AM32704AF-N). These sections were detected using secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 647 or Alexa 680 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and imaged by confocal microscopy using a Zeiss LSM 700.

Subcutaneous Hydrogel-based Protein Delivery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
First, 7-week-old male C57BL/6 albino mice received a single subcutaneous injection of fluorescently labeled BSA or rhGALNS. The proteins were labeled with ALEXA 680 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Precursor solutions were prepared to reach a final concentration of 20% w/v four-arm PEG-Ac or eight-arm PEG-Ac + PEG-diSH, loaded with BSA or rhGALNS. Hydrogel mixtures (200 µL) were subcutaneously injected into the left flank of each mouse. The mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, and fluorescent images were acquired on an IVIS Spectrum imager (Perkin Elmer, Hongkong, China) every 24 h for up to 24 days.
All IVIS images were acquired under the same field of view using autoexposure. The data were analyzed using Living Image software (version 4.5). Fluorescent regions were quantified and expressed as Radiant Efficiency (p/s/sr)/(µW/cm2). Analyses were conducted with a Holm–Šídák’s multiple comparison test. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

SDS-PAGE and Immunoblotting Optimization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standard 10% to 14% SDS-PAGE gels were used for separation of most proteins except for HTT, which was better analyzed by NuPAGE Tris-Acetate gels from Invitrogen specially formulated for detection of proteins with large molecular weight. The boiled samples were separated on SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes from Millipore. After blocking with 5% nonfat milk in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween-20 for 1 hour, membranes were incubated with primary antibodies. Secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa-800 or Alexa-680 (Invitrogen) or HRP (KPL) were used and the signals were detected by the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System and quantified by Odyssey Application Software 3.0 or by densitometry of the digital images using ImageJ software (NIH).

Protein samples (50 μg) of myenteric ganglionic and splanchnic nerve extracts, as well as recombinant bovine PKG1α protein (0.1 μg), which was used as a positive control, were resolved on 10% SDS polyacrylamide gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Schleicher and Schuell). The blots were probed with antibodies that recognize both PKG1α and PKG1β (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), antibodies that are selective for PKG1α (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and antibodies to PGP 9.5 (Biogenesis) to control for neuronal protein loaded onto each gel. Species-specific secondary antibodies coupled to horseradish peroxidase, Alexa 680 (Invitrogen), or IRDye 800 (Rockland Immunochemicals). Immunoreactivity was detected with an Odyssey infrared imaging system (LI-COR Inc.).

In Vivo Structural Imaging of Mouse Vasculature

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For imaging of anesthetized animal, the mice were anesthetized using isoflurane (1–1.5 % in oxygen, maintaining a breathing frequency at 2 Hz) and placed on a heat blanket to maintain body temperature at 37.5 °C. Eye ointment was applied and the animal was place on a 3D motorized stage for navigation under the microscope. For structural imaging, vasculature of wild-type mice (N=3, 10–12 weeks, male, C57BL/6J, The Jackson Laboratories) was labeled through retro-orbital injection with fluorescein, Alexa 680, and Texas Red (25mg dextran conjugate dissolved in 200 μl sterile saline, 10kDa molecular weight, Invitrogen).
For awake imaging, the animal was fixed on a custom-made stereotaxic plate by attaching its head-bar to the metal holders. The body of the animal was further secured in a tube of slippery inner walls to reduce motion.

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.
