Acid phosphatase leukocyte trap kit 387a

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Acid phosphatase leukocyte (TRAP) kit (387A) is a laboratory reagent designed for the detection and quantification of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity in biological samples. TRAP is an enzyme found in certain types of cells, including leukocytes. The kit provides the necessary components to measure TRAP levels using a colorimetric assay.

Histological Evaluation of Rat Bones and DRGs

Rats were anesthetized with overdose of sodium pentobarbital. Then rat tibiae and lumbar 4 (L4) -L5 dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) were fixed by immersing in 4% paraformaldehyde solution (Biosharp, Beijing, China). After decalcification, tibiae and DRGs were dehydrated and embedded in paraffin for cutting into 8 µm sections via the rotary microtome (Carl Zeiss, Germany).
For tibia hematoxylin-eosin staining and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, the sections were stained with HE staining kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and Acid phosphatase, Leukocyte (TRAP) kit (387A, Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) following the manufacturer's protocol.
For the immunohistochemical staining, tibia and DRG sections were incubated with methanol containing 3% H2O2 for 15 min. After antigen repair, sections were blocked with 10% goat serum (Gibco) in TBS for 3 h. Then sections were incubated with primary antibody at 4°C overnight. After washing and horseradish peroxidase enzyme labeled secondary antibodies incubation, DAB substrate solution and hematoxylin was used according to the previous report (Hao et al., 2018 (link)).

Osteoclast Formation via TRAP Staining

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After induction of culture for 7 days, TRAP staining was performed to evaluate TRAP(+)-multinucleated osteoclast formation. RAW 264.7 cells were cultured on a 24-well plate at a density of 2×104 cells/well and allowed to adhere overnight. DMEM was then replaced, and the cells were treated with new DMEM containing 100 ng/ml RANKL. After induced culture for 7 days, the cells were stained for TRAP expression using an Acid Phosphatase, Leukocyte (TRAP) kit (387-A; Sigma-Aldrich) following the manufacturer's instructions.

The cells were stained using an Acid Phosphatase, Leukocyte TRAP kit (387-A; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) to confirm the generation of TRAP-positive cells, which appeared dark red. TRAP-positive multinucleated cells containing three or more nuclei were considered to be osteoclasts. The osteoclasts were then counted and images were captured using a microscope (microscope, JEM1200EX; Camera, Olympus E330; Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
