Immunofluorescence was performed as previously described (Sui et al., 2021 (link)). HEK293T or HepG2 cells cultured on 12-mm coverslips were transfected with the indicated plasmids. After 24 h, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeated with 0.5% Triton X-100. After cells were washed with PBST, they were blocked in 1% BSA and stained with primary antibodies, followed by staining with CoraLite 594 or 488-conjugated IgG secondary antibodies. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (Yesen Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). Fluorescence images were obtained and analyzed using a confocal microscope (FV3000, OLYMPUS).

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.
