Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As previously described (25 ), asynchronous DMS114 and H524 cells were sequentially labelled with 20 μM IdU for 20 min and 50 μM CldU for 20 min. To preserve long genomic DNA fibers, cells were embedded in low melting point agarose plugs and incubated in cell lysis buffer with proteinase K at 50°C for overnight. Washed plugs with TE buffer, and then melted plugs in 0.1M MES (pH 6.5) at 70°C for 20 min. Agarose was subsequently degraded by adding 2 μl of β-agarase (New England Biolabs). DNA fibers were then stretched onto salinized coverslips (Genomic Vision, cov-002-RUO) using an in-house combing machine. Combed DNA on coverslips was then baked at 60 °C for 2 hours and denatured in 0.5 N NaOH for 20 min. IdU, CldU and single-strand DNA were detected using a mouse antibody directed against BrdU (IgG1, Becton Dickinson, 347580, 1:25 dilution), a rat antibody directed against BrdU (Accurate chemical, OBT0030, 1:200 dilution) and a mouse antibody directed against single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) (IgG 2a, Millipore, MAB3034, 1:100), respectively. The secondary antibodies used were goat anti-mouse Cy3 (Abcam ab6946), goat anti-rat Cy5 (Abcam, ab6565), and goat anti-mouse BV480 (Jackson ImmunoResearch, 115–685-166) for ssDNA. Slides were scanned with a FiberVision Automated Scanner (Genomic Vision). Replication signals on single DNA fibers were analyzed using FiberStudio (Genomic Vision).

Synapses per Inner Hair Cell Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The immunohistochemistry method to assess the number of synapses per inner hair cell (IHC) has been extensively described [14 (link)]. Briefly, the presynaptic IHC ribbons were identified using a mouse anti-CtBP2 antibody (1:500; BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA). Glutamate receptors were labelled with a mouse antibody raised against the C-terminus of the GluA2 subunit, IgG2a (1:200, Millipore, Billerica, MA). A 3D, custom algorithm was used to detect the juxtaposition of pre- and post-synaptic structures in stacked confocal images.

Immunohistochemical Quantification of Synapses per Inner Hair Cell

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The immunohistochemical method for assessing the number of synapses per inner hair cell (IHC) has been described in detail elsewhere (Bourien et al. 2014; Batrel et al. 2017) . Briefly, the presynaptic IHC ribbons were identified with a mouse anti-CtBP2 antibody (1:500; BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA). Glutamate receptors were labeled with a mouse antibody raised against the C-terminus of the GluA2 subunit, IgG2a (1:200, Millipore, Billerica, MA). A 3D, custom algorithm was used to detect the juxtaposition of pre-and post-synaptic structures in stacked confocal images. Once the ribbons had been counted, the corresponding coding frequency of each ribbon was inferred from the rat cochlear place frequency map (Müller 1991) . A second-order polynomial was then fitted to synapse count as a function of position relative to the cochlea apex (Meyer et al. 2009 ).

No.: F7524), 0.1 mM glycine (VWR International GmbH; Cat. No.: 101196X), and 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100 (AppliChem; Cat. No.: A4975,0500) in PBS, after fixation. Then, following antibodies were diluted in washing solution: anti-vesicular glutamate transporter-1(vGlut) (1:1,000; guinea pig; polyclonal; Synaptic Systems GmbH; RRID: AB_887878), anti-postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) (1:500; mouse; monoclonal IgG2a; Merck KGaA; RRID: AB_1121285), and anti-aggrecan (1:500; rabbit; polyclonal; Merck KGaA; RRID: 90460). Coverslips were incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Then, coverslips were washed three times with washing solution and incubated with the secondary antibody solution for 1 h at room temperature. Here, following antibodies were used: anti-guinea pig (1:500; AF647; IgG (H+L); Jackson Immuno Research, RRID: AB_2337446), anti-mouse, (1:250; AF488; IgM+IgG (H+L); Jackson Immuno Research; RRID: AB_2338844), and anti-rabbit (1:500; Cy3; IgG (H+L); Jackson Immuno Research; RRID: AB_2338003). Last, coverslips were washed three times with PBS (1x), once with MilliQ water and finally mounted on microscope slides.

Generation of the chicken anti‐EAAT2a (zebrafish) antibody is described elsewhere (Niklaus et al., 2017 (link)). Five dpf larvae were fixed in 4% PFA in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) at room temperature for 40 min. Embryos were cryo‐protected in 30% sucrose in PBS at 4°C overnight, embedded in Tissue Freezing Medium TFMTM (Electron Microscopy Sciences), cryo‐sectioned at 14–16 μm and mounted onto Superfrost slides (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Immunohistochemistry was performed as described before (Niklaus et al., 2017 (link)). Chicken anti‐EAAT2a 1:500, mouse anti‐synaptic vesicle 2 (IgG1, 1:100, DSHB USA), mouse anti‐acetylated tubulin (IgG2b, 1:500, Sigma 7451) and mouse anti–glutamine synthetase (IgG2a, 1:200, EMD Millipore, MAB302) were used as primary antibodies. Secondary antibodies were goat anti‐chicken Alexa Fluor 488, goat anti‐mouse IgG2a Alexa Fluor 568, goat anti‐mouse IgG2b Alexa Fluor 647 and goat anti‐mouse IgG1 Alexa Fluor 647, all 1:500 (all from Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Slides were cover‐slipped using Mowiol (Polysciences) containing DABCO (Sigma‐Aldrich) and imaged with a TCS LSI confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems). Images were adjusted for brightness and contrast using Affinity Photo Version 1.8 and assembled in Affinity Designer Version 1.7.

Transmission electron microscopy was performed using E. histolytica cells overexpressing polyHis- or V5-tagged Pex14 and Pex16, and samples were processed as described previously [27 (link)]. The sections with V5-tagged Pex14 were blocked with 1% fish skin gelatin (FSG) and immunodecorated using mouse anti-V5 antibody (1:20, Invitrogen/Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and goat anti-mouse antibody conjugated with 5 nm gold nanoparticles (BBI Solutions) for 1 h in 1% fish skin gelatin. Samples with polyHis-tagged Pex14 were blocked in buffer containing 1% bovine serum albumin/0.05% Tween 20 in 0.1 M HEPES for 1 h at room temperature. Labeling was performed using Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) conjugated with 5 nm gold nanoparticles (Nanoprobes, Yaphank, USA). Sections with polyHis-tagged Pex16 were treated as described above or with mouse monoclonal anti-polyHis antibody (IgG2A, Merck/Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and protein A conjugated with 5 nm gold nanoparticles (1:50)(CMC Utrecht) in 1% fish skin gelatin. Myo-IDH was detected using rabbit polyclonal anti-myo-IDH antibody and anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to 15 nm gold particles (Nanoprobes, Yaphank, USA).

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.
