Immunofluorescence Staining of Spheroids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spheroids were plated onto glass 22mm circular coverslips and grown until mature. Coverslips were then fixed in cold 2% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes and rinsed in PBS. H&E stains were performed as previously described (20 (link)). IF was performed as previously described (20 (link)). A conjugated antibody against Ki67 (Cell Signaling #11882 [1:50] (488 conjugate)) was used and slides were mounted with Prolong gold DAPI mounting media (Invitrogen #P36931).

Visualizing IRF-1 and Viral Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DCs (1–2 × 105 cells per well) were plated on 8-well Lab-Tek chamber slides (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) in complete DC medium and infected with LGTV for 24 h. Cells were then stimulated with LPS (1 µg/ml) plus IFNγ (20 ng/ml) for 3.0 h, fixed with 4% formaldehyde/PBS, and stored in PBS at 4°C. For detection of IRF-1 and viral protein, slides were incubated with 100% methanol for 8 min at −20°C, followed by incubation with blocking buffer (1% bovine serum albumin [Sigma], 2% normal goat serum [Life Technologies], and 0.01M glycine/Dulbecco's PBS) for 1–2 h at RT. Slides were stained using rabbit anti-IRF-1 antibody (clone D5E4) and mouse anti-envelope protein (clone 11H12). Bound antibodies were detected with Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG, respectively (Invitrogen). Nuclei were stained using Prolong Gold + DAPI mounting media (Invitrogen). Immunofluorescent images were obtained using a Zeiss LSM710 confocal microscope.

After optical redox imaging, cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde for 15min and then washed once with PBS before storage in PBS overnight. The next day immunofluorescence staining was performed as previously described.44 (link) Conjugated antibodies against Ki67 and CC3 (11882S-488 conjugate, and 8172S-594 conjugate, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Massachusetts) both at a dilution of 1:50 were applied before coverslips were mounted onto slides with Prolong Gold DAPI mounting media (P36931, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California) and sealed with clear nail polish. After 24 h stored at 4°C in a dark box, the slides were imaged on a Nikon Eclipse Ti2 inverted widefield fluorescence microscope using a 20× air objective (0.75 NA), with standard Nikon filters for DAPI, FITC, and Texas Red [DAPI: ex: 375/28  nm , em: 460/60  nm ; FITC: ex: 480/30  nm , em: 535/45  nm ; Texas Red: ex: 560/40  nm , and em: 630/60  nm ). For analysis, six FOVs were acquired from two separate biological replicates for a total of 12 FOVs analyzed per condition. Co-localization analysis was performed using a previously described CellProfiler pipeline26 (link) that identifies DAPI, Ki67, and CC3 objects. The number of DAPI objects that overlapped with Ki67 or CC3 positive stain were counted to calculate the percent of total cells positive for Ki67 or CC3.

Immunofluorescence Technique for KI67 Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescence was performed by placing the TMA slides into a humidity chamber after slides were deparaffinized and rehydrated. Slides were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin in Tris Buffered Saline (TBS) with 0.05% Tween 20 for one hour at room temperature. Slides were then washed in TBS. The KI67 primary antibody (#11882 (Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate), Cell Signaling Technology) was diluted in PBS and incubated overnight at 4°C overnight. After incubation, coverslips were washed in TBS and mounted using Prolong Gold DAPI mounting media (#P36931, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and sealed. TMA cores were classified based on the number of KI67 positive nuclei per core.

Imaging of Drosophila Embryos with Confocal Microscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mounting of fixed Drosophila embryos was done in ProLong Gold + DAPI mounting media (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR). Fixed embryos were imaged on a Zeiss LSM 880 confocal microscope with FastAiryscan (Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Jena, Germany). Excitation lasers with wavelengths of 405, 488, 561 and 633 nm were used as appropriate for the specific fluorescent dyes. For imaging in embryos carrying Df(X)svb108, only embryos without svb mRNA expression in the T1 segment were imaged, following the same reason described in the section on ‘Cuticle preparations and trichome counting’. Unless otherwise stated, all images were processed with Fiji/ImageJ (Schindelin et al., 2012 (link); Schneider et al., 2012 (link)) and Matlab (MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA).

Imaging and Quantification of svb Transcripts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
svb transcripts were detected with DIG-labelled probes of svb as per [59 (link)]. Fixed Drosophila embryos were mounted in ProLong Gold + DAPI mounting media (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) and imaged on a Zeiss LSM 880 confocal microscope with FastAiryscan under a 63× objective (Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Jena, Germany). Inside nuclei with svb transcription sites, the centre of the transcription site was identified using the find maximum function of Fiji/ImageJ. A circle with a diameter of 12 pixels [0.85 µm, region of interest (ROI)] centred on the transcription site was then created. The integrated fluorescent intensity inside the ROI was then reported. The intensity presented in the figures is the per-pixel average intensity with the maximum readout of the sensor normalized to 255.

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.
