The cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature, and then blocked with 10% goat serum (GTX27481, Gene-Tex, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. The samples were incubated at 4 °C overnight with the following primary antibodies, such as iNOS (1:100, ab15323, Abcam, UK), CD86(1:100, ab239075, Abcam, UK), Arg-1(1:100, ab239731, Abcam, UK), CD34(1:100, ab81289, Abcam, UK), α-SMA (1:100, ab124964, Abcam, UK), IBA(1:100, ab178846, Abcam, UK) and F4/80 (1:50, ab6640, Abcam, UK). Subsequently, the sections were incubated with mouse anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000, #4408/4409, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), rabbit anti-mouse IgG (1:1000, #4412/4413, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), and donkey anti-rat IgG (1:1000, A21209, Invitrogen, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. After washing, the sections were mounted with a DAPI-containing antifade solution and observed under a microscope (BX63, Olympus) and a confocal microscope (Zeiss, LSM800).

The BV-2 cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature and washed with PBS. Then the non-specific binding sites were blocked with 10% goat serum (GTX27481, Gene-Tex, USA) for 1 h at room temperature, and the samples were then incubated at 4 °C overnight with the following primary antibodies in PBS: iNOS (1:100, ab15323, Abcam, UK), Ym-1(1:100, ab192029, Abcam, UK), and F4/80 (1:50, ab6640, Abcam, UK). The following day, sections were incubated with mouse anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000, #4408/4409, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), rabbit anti-mouse IgG (1:1000, #4412/4413, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), and donkey anti-rat IgG (1:1000, A21209, Invitrogen, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. After rinsing, sections were mounted with a DAPI-containing antifade solution. Fluorescence signals were then observed under a microscope (BX63; Olympus) and a confocal microscope (Zeiss; LSM800).

Immunofluorescent Localization of LC3 and P21 in Mouse Heart Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence staining was performed in order to determine the expression as well as the localization of LC3/P21 in the mice hearts. Briefly, for the heart section staining, all sections were autoclaved with citrate solution for antigen retrieval. After blocking with 10% goat serum (GTX27481; GeneTex, Sanantonio, TX, USA), the sections were incubated in LC3A/B (12741, CST) or P21 antibody (sc-6246, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) overnight. Heart sections were subsequently incubated with secondary antibodies for 60 min at 37 °C, followed by visualization of the nuclei with DAPI. For immunohistochemistry, the tissue sections were heated for antigen retrieval, and then incubated with anti-heme oxygenase-1 (ab13243, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or 4-hydroxynonenal (ab46545, Abcam), followed by incubation with goat anti-rabbit EnVisionTM+/HRP reagent, and finally staining with a DAB detection kit. The images were captured using a fluorescence microscope (OLYMPUS DX51, Tokyo, Japan) and then analysed using Image-Pro Plus software.

Quantifying Tumor Vasculature Markers

The tumor sections (6 μm) were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 3–4 h at room temperature, and rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After washing with PBS, the non-specific binding sites were blocked with 10% goat serum (GTX27481, GeneTex) for 1 h at room temperature. The samples were incubated with one or two primary antibodies, that is, mouse monoclonal anti-CD34 (1:50, Abcam, USA) and rabbit polyclonal anti-α-SMA (1:50, Abcam, USA), simultaneously in 1% goat serum at 4°C overnight. Sections were washed with PBS and incubated in the dark for 1 h with secondary antibodies: Alexa Flour® 568 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (1:200, A11011, Invitrogen) and Alexa Flour® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (1:200, A1106, Invitrogen). After washing three times with PBS for 5 min, the nuclei were stained with DAPI (S36939, Invitrogen) for 15 min, and the sections were then examined under a confocal scanning microscope (BX41F; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). The ratio of α-SMA/CD34 was calculated by dividing the positive area of α-SMA adjacent to CD34-positive vessels by the total area of CD34-positive tumor vasculature under five 200× high-powered randomly chosen fields per slide.

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.
