The secondary antibodies used were Alexa fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse, 1:200 (A-21202, Invitrogen), Alexa fluor 546 donkey anti-goat, 1:200 (A-11056, Invitrogen) and Alexa fluor 647 donkey anti-rabbit, 1:200 (A-31573, Invitrogen). All the antibody dilutions were prepared using 1:20 normal donkey serum in 1× PBS, pH 7.4. Antigen retrieval was performed during double immunofluorescence with COX-2 and CD68 primary antibodies, using sodium citrate buffer (10mM sodium citrate, 0.1% Tween 20, pH 8.5). Antigen retrieval was not required during double immunofluorescence with PGE2 and CD68 primary antibodies.

Following various pretreatments, the B16F10 cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), and then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. Rac1 antibody (1∶100) was used for labeling for 1 h at room temperature, which was followed by anti-mouse Alexa488 (A21202, Life Technologies) (1∶300) labeling for 1 h at 37°C. After washings, images were taken with a Leica SP5 AOBS confocal laser scanning microscope, using the 488 nm argon laser line for excitation and 500–530 nm spectral filter for emission detection. Images were analyzed with ImageJ software (http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/): whole cells and plasma membranes (PMs) were drawn around for at least 15 cells/3 views for each treatment. The average intensity of the pixels representing the PM was divided by the average intensity of the whole cell in an equatorial focal plane. The Student’s t-test was performed. Experiments were repeated 3 times; the results demonstrated the same tendency. A linear region of interest was chosen for every representative image. The fluorescence intensity of the pixels within this region was plotted.

Cell proliferation was assessed by quantification of cells actively synthesizing DNA. HCT116 p53+/+ and HCT116 p53−/− cells treated with 10 μM Nutlin-3 as indicated. 60 min prior to harvesting cells, 1 mg/ml of BrdU was added to cultivation medium.

Subsequent to rinsing, fluorescent secondary antibodies (1:500 Alexa-488, A21202, or Alexa-647, A313573, Life Technologies, Waltham, MA) were added at 18°C–24 °C for 2 h. Finally, Hoechst (1:10 000, H3570, Life Technologies, Waltham, MA) was added at 18 °C–24 °C for 10 min. Labeled micro-TENNs were fluorescently imaged using a LSM 710 confocal microscope with a Plan-Apochromat 10x/0.45 lens (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany). To acquire the image, 120 slices of 2.59 μm each were acquired for each channel with 8 bit resolution. The images presented are maximum projections of the series of confocal slices.

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.
