TUNEL and CD11b+ Cell Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The In Situ Cell Death Detection Kit, TMR red (Roche, 12156792910) was used, following the manufacturer’s instructions on muscle and skin tissue cryosections. To detect CD11b+ cells, sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with rat anti-mouse CD11b (5 μg ml−1, M1/70, Thermo Fisher Scientific, 14-0112-82) in staining buffer. After PBS-T washes, sections were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rat antibody (2.67 µg ml−1, Thermo Fisher Scientific, A48262TR), washed with PBS-T, and counterstained with DAPI (1 μg ml−1) before mounting with Fluoroshield. Two tissue section levels were evaluated per sample to determine the percentage of TUNEL+ apoptotic cells over total CD11b+ cells, examining three fields per section within the injury site.

OSE, OSE-SC, OSE-NS, MEFs from FVB/N mice and OSN2 cells were grown on gelatin-coated glass coverslips for 24 hours and then fixed using methanol (Sigma-Aldrich; Cat#: 322415-1L). Fixed cells were washed with PBS, and then blocked using goat serum (Sigma-Aldrich; Cat#: NS02L). Primary Rat anti CK8 (TROMA1) antibody (University of Iowa Developmental Hybridoma Bank; Cat#: AB_531826) was added to coverslips overnight at 4°C, followed by PBS washes. Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti rat antibody (Thermo Fisher; Cat#: A-11006) was added for one hour using the manufacturer-recommended concentration. One drop of mounting media (Vector Laboratories; Cat#: H-1000) was used to adhere coverslips to slides, and cells were imaged using an Olympus BX51 microscope and Olympus XM10 camera at 10x magnification. GFP expression conveyed by FUGW viral transductions was detected using a BioRad ZOE Fluorescent Cell Imager at 20x.

For immunofluorescence, the cells were treated with Cy3- or FITC-conjugated 2OMePS oligonucleotides for 4 h, washed three times with PBS containing Ca2+ and Mg2+ solution, and fixed with methanol at −20°C for 10 min. Then, the cells were washed and stored in PBS at 4°C for future immunofluorescence analysis. For colocalisation, the cells were treated with 0.1% Triton-X100 (Sigma-Aldrich, München, Germany) in PBS for 10′, washed three times with PBS plus, and then blocked with PBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 1 h. After this, the cells were incubated with rat anti-mouse NCL antibody (1:200 dilution, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), washed three times with PBS plus, and treated with 1:500 Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rat antibody (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 1 h. 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (1:5000 dilution, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) staining, which was then performed for 2′, after which the cells were washed and mounted with the fluorescent mounting medium S3023 (Dako, Tokyo, Japan) onto glass slides. The visualization was carried out on a Leica fluorescent microscope, and the pictures were taken by an Axiovision fluorescent camera and the Axiovision software (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).

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.
