Macrophages were seeded at a density of 105 cells per glass coverslip (12-mm diameter) and fixed for 10 min in 3.7% formaldehyde, washed three times in PBS, and permeabilized for 10 min in PBS containing 0.1% TritonX-100. After three washes with PBS, cells were incubated for 30 min in blocking solution (2% BSA or 2% normal human serum in PBS), washed briefly in PBS, and incubated for 60 min in the primary antibody solution. Cells were washed three times in PBS and then incubated for 30 min in secondary antibody solution. After three washes in PBS, coverslips were mounted on glass slides with Mowiol 4–88 (Roth) containing p-phenylenediamine (Sigma-Aldrich). Images of fixed samples were acquired with a confocal laser-scanning microscope (Leica DMi8 with a TCS SP8 AOBS confocal point scanner) equipped with an oil-immersion 63× HC PL APO Oil CS2 NA 1.40 objective and Leica LAS X SP8 software.

Chromosome Spreads and FISH Mapping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromosome spreads were performed as described previously (Fung et al., 2004 (link)). Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was carried out using two adjacent interval-specific DNA probes. For the LEU2-MAT interval, the plasmid 12B (Newlon et al., 1991 (link)) containing a 20-kb region of chromosome III extending ∼5 kb centromere-distal and ∼15 kb centromere-proximal of the RPS14A gene was used to make probe. For the HIS4-LEU2 interval, a 15-kb region starting at HIS4 and ending in the middle of KCC4 was PCR-amplified from genomic DNA in 2-kb segments. Probes were labeled with biotin-14-dATP (Invitrogen # 19524016, Waltham, MA) or digoxygenin-11-dUTP (Roche #11093088910, Basel, CH) and hybridization was performed as described in Dernburg and Sedat (Dernburg and Sedat, 1998 (link)). Slides were stained with anti-rabbit Zip1 antibody and then with secondary antibodies: rhodamine anti-DIG and FITC-streptavidin and Cy5 anti-rabbit antibody. To stain DNA, 1 μg/mL DAPI was added to the mount made from 0.1% p-phenylenediamine (Sigma Aldrich #P6001, Burlington, MA) in glycerol. Zip1 polyclonal antibodies were generously provided by G.S. Roeder (Yale University).

All experiments were performed on a Zeiss Axioplan2 microscope (Carl Zeiss MicroImaging), with a 40x objective (Plan Neo, NA 0.75) and DeltaVision Image Restoration Microscope (Applied Precision). HCT116 cells were plated on glass coverslips (Fisher Scientific) in 6-well dishes 24 hours before fixation. Cells were exposed to DMSO only (vehicle control), ispinesib (50 and 100 nM) for 4 hours, or 50 ng/mL (166 nM) nocodazole for 14 hours at 37 °C in complete media. Cells were fixed for 10 min at 37°C in fix solution (4% formaldehyde, 0.2% Triton X-100, 10 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgCl2, 100 mM PIPES pH 6.8). Coverslips were washed 3 times with TBS-tx (TBS + 0.1% Triton X-100), blocked with AbDil (2% BSA in TBS-tx buffer) and incubated for 1 hr at room temperature with FITC-conjugated mouse anti-tubulin monoclonal antibody (Sigma # F2168; 1:2000 dilution in AbDil).

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.
