Animals exposed to red NPs were euthanized by tricaine overdose, fixed in 4% PFA for 24 h at 4°C, then immersed in 30% sucrose for several days, embedded in Tissue-Tek O.C.T. Compound (Sakura Finetek USA), flash frozen in isopentane, and sectioned using a CM3050 S cryostat (Leica). DCs were stained using 1:50 FITC conjugate peanut agglutinin (FITC-PNA) (US Biological). Macrophage, neutrophil, and IgZ+ were stained using 1:250 rabbit anti-Mpeg1, 1:50 rabbit anti-Mpx, and 1:500 rabbit anti-IgZ-IN2 antibodies (AnaSpec), respectively, and 1:250 cross-adsorbed goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Thermo Fisher), which were either conjugated to DyLight 488 (for IgZ staining) or to DyLight 633 (for Mpx and Mpeg1 stainings). For double staining, cryosections were saturated with 5% BSA between FITC-PNA and antibody labeling. No cross staining was observed for PNA/IgZ labeling, while a weak PNA signal could be detected in a few Mpeg1+ macrophages. Mpx+ neutrophils consistently displayed moderate PNA signal, but distinct from DCs, which displayed high granular intracytoplasmic PNA staining and were Mpx. Cryosections were co-stained with DyLight 488-Phalloidin (Thermo Fisher) and DAPI (Euromedex) and analyzed using a SP5 upward confocal microscope (Leica) with 63×/1.4NA objective and ImageJ.

For histology, after 2 weeks implantation, some implants were fixed for 24 h in Bouin-Hollande and embedded in paraffin. Serial sections (7 µm) were stained with Mallory's stain. Sections were observed in a Leica DM4000B microscope. Other implants were embedded in Tissue-Tek, frozen at -20°C and sectioned (10µm) using a cryostat (Leica, CM3000). Serial sections were rinsed with PBS and fixed for 10 min with 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C. After washing three times for 5 min in PBS at room temperature, sections were incubated for 30 min at room temperature in a blocking solution of 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.1% Triton X100 and then incubated for one night at 4°C with the primary antibodies (Table 1). After washing with PBS, sections were incubated with secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes, Invitrogen) (Table 1). Nuclei were stained with 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Euromedex, Souffelweyersheim, France). Negative controls were performed either omitting the primary antibody or using normal goat serum (NGS). After 3 additional washes in PBS, slides were mounted in fluorescence mounting medium (Dako, Trappes, France) and observed with a fluorescence microscope (Leica DM4000B).

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.
