Quantifying Oxidative Stress in Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MCF7 or U373 cells cultured in 120-mm coverslips were exposed to 30 µM DCFH-DA (0.1 M PB, pH 7.4) and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min. For fluorescence detection, coverslips were mounted on glass slides and observed with a laser-scanning confocal microscope (TCS SP8 System and Application suite X, Leica Microsystems). DAPI and fluorescein phalloidin (nuclei and cytoskeleton detection, respectively) staining was also used.

Confocal Microscopy Immunostaining Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining was performed as previously described (Takeuchi et al., 2019, PLoS Pathog) [12 (link)]. Images were acquired with a confocal laser microscope (TCS SP8; Leica Microsystems) using a 64× oil-immersion object lens with a numerical aperture of 1.4. Acquired images were analyzed using the Application Suite X software package (Leica Microsystems).

Immunoblotting and Immunocytochemistry Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry were performed as previously described10 (link). Immunoreactive bands were detected using Pierce ELC Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Scientific) and ChemiDoc XRS (Bio Rad), and images were acquired using the Quantify One software package (Bio-Rad). Confocal microscopic images were acquired with a confocal laser microscope (TCS SP8; Leica Microsystems) using a 64 × oil-immersion object lens with a numerical aperture of 1.4, then analyzed using the Application Suite X software package (Leica Microsystems).

Retinal cross sections and flat-mount retinas were imaged with DM6000 Upright Microscope System and TCS SP5 confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems), respectively. Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended (Adobe Systems), Application Suite X (Leica Microsystems), ImageJ (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/), or Imaris 7.6.1 (Bitplane) were used for image analysis, 3D reconstruction, and movie production.

Quantification of Retinal Retinosomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Enucleated mouse eyes from dark-adapted (overnight) or daylight-adapted (≥ 1 h) animals were rinsed in PBS and incubated for 5 min at RT in freshly prepared fixing solution: PBS with 4% paraformaldehyde. Dark-adapted eyes were processed under dim red light and dissected using night vision goggles. Following dissection along the posterior margin of the limbus, lens and vitreous were removed and four radial cuts were made toward the optic nerve to flatten the remaining eyecups on glass slides. The samples were then mounted with Vectashield medium (Vector Laboratories) for imaging. To image tissue from pigmented animals, a customized TCS SP8 MP multiphoton imaging system (Leica Microsystems) with a pulse selection system delivering 75 fsec pulses at 8 MHz was used.29 (link) Phasor analyses of FLIM data in Application Suite X (Leica Microsystems) were used to confirm identity of fluorescing compounds and determine their subcellular distribution.29 (link) ImageJ analyze-particles software (NIH) was used to quantify the area occupied by retinosomes.

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.
