Paraffin sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated by immersion in xylene followed by a graded series of ethanols as previously described.14 (link) Antigen retrieval was performed by using a heat-induced method with citrate buffer (Dako). After blocking with 10% normal donkey serum and goat anti-mouse IgG (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 hour, sections were incubated with a primary antibody at 37°C for 1 hour, followed by the application of corresponding secondary antibody (Alexa dyes; Invitrogen) at 37°C for 1 hour. Omission of the primary antibodies on parallel sections was used as negative control. The following primary antibodies were used c-Kit (goat polyclonal; R&D systems), CD45 (rabbit polyclonal; Abcam), serine-10 phosphorylated histone-H3 (HP3; rabbit polyclonal; Abcam), anti-BrdU (biotinylated mouse monoclonal; Abcam), Aurora B kinase (Rabbit polyclonal, Abcam), activated caspase 3 (mouse monoclonal; BD), and tropomyosin (mouse monoclonal; Abcam). Nuclei were counterstained by incubation for 5 minutes with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Invitrogen). The total number of positively stained cells was quantified per zone observed and corrected per area of corresponding zone (mm2). All images were obtained with a fluorescent microscope (Olympus IX81; Olympus America Inc, Center Valley, PA) or a confocal laser-scanning module (LSM710; Carl Zeiss MicroImaging).

Cell lysates were prepared in RIPA lysis buffer (Santa Cruz Biotech, Santa Cruz, CA), separated by NuPage gel (Invitrogen) and blotted onto polyvinylidenedifluoride membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% BSA in TBS-T and incubated with primary (1:1,000) and secondary (1:5,000) antibodies. Primary antibodies used were antibodies against β-actin, Cyclin D1 (DCS6), phospho-Cdc2 (Tyr15), Cenp-a (Cell Signaling Technologies, Beverly, MA) and Aurora-B kinase (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Secondary antibodies used were alkaline phosphatase-conjugated mouse or rabbit anti-IgG (Promega, Madison, WI). Membranes were developed using colorimetric NBT-BCIP substrate (Promega), as described87 (link).

Comprehensive Cardiac Cell Identification Protocol

The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized by 0.3% Triton X‐100 in blocking buffer with 5% goat serum in PBS for 1 h. Cells were then stained with primary antibodies, anti‐α‐sarcomeric actinin (Sigma), anti‐cardiac troponin T (DSHB), anti‐cardiac troponin I (DSHB), and anti‐α‐MHC (Abcam) for CM staining; anti‐vimentin (Santa‐Cruz) for CF staining. Ki‐67 (Genetex), histone H3 phosphorylated at serine 10 (Millipore), Aurora B kinase (Abcam) for gene screening. Secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa fluor‐488 or Alexa fluor‐568 (Life Technology) were incubated for 1 h at room temperature after washing with PBS three times, and the nuclei were stained with DAPI (Life Technologies) for 5 min.
The tissue sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated, and antigens retrieved by boiling twice in sodium citrate solution. Then, the sections underwent the same immunofluorescence procedure as mentioned previously.

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.
