May gr nwald giemsa solution

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

May-Grünwald Giemsa solutions are a set of staining reagents used in microscopy for the differentiation and identification of cellular components. These solutions are commonly used in hematology, cytology, and histology to stain blood smears and other biological samples. The solutions contain a mixture of dyes, including May-Grünwald and Giemsa, which selectively stain various cellular structures, enabling visualization and analysis under a microscope.

Comprehensive Hematological and Histological Analysis

Blood was collected from tail veins into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-coated tubes. Automated peripheral blood counts were obtained using a Vet abc machine (scil). Blood smears and bone marrow cytospins were stained with May-Grünwald Giemsa solutions (Sigma). Mouse tissues were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Blocks were cut into 5 μm sections and mounted onto glass slides prior to staining with hematoxylin and eosin. For immunohistochemistry, slides were microwaved in 10 mM citric acid (pH 6.0) to retrieve antigens. Endogenous peroxidases were quenched using hydrogen peroxide and staining was performed using anti-myeloperoxidase antibody (1:100, ab9535, Abcam) diluted in TBST for 1 h at room temperature. Signal detection was accomplished using an HRP/DAB (ABC) Detection IHC kit (Abcam, ab64264). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin before dehydration and coverslip mounting. Slide images were captured using a Nanozoomer digital slide scanner (Hamamatsu).

Evaluating Cellular Morphology Changes

To investigate potential macroscopic modifications of cell morphology, cells (primary and cell lines) were seeded in 6-well plates at 0.5 × 105 cells/ml and incubated with increasing concentration of AZD-1775 for 24 h. Cells were harvested, spun down (10 min at 200 g) onto glass slips using a Cytospin™ centrifuge (Thermofisher), and then stained with the May-Grünwald Giemsa solutions (Sigma-Aldrich). The slides were analyzed using an optical microscope AXIOVERT 40 CFL and the pictures analyzed using AxioVision Rel.4.7 software. For the immunofluorescence analysis, BV-173 cells were seeded to poly-d-lysine-coated coverslips, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and stained at 37 °C with an anti-phospho-Ser/Thr-Pro MPM-2 antibody FITC conjugated (Millipore Sigma). Coverslips were, then, mounted on glass slides using a mounting media with DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) (Prolong Gold with DAPI, Invitrogen). Immunofluorescence analyses were performed using the AXIOVERT 40 CFL microscope and the picture analyzed using AxioVision Rel.4.7 software.

The cell pellet of MLACs, TAMs, Mo-MDSCs, or PMN-MDSCs (1.0 × 104 cells each) were smeared onto glass slides and air-dried. The smear was then stained with May-Grünwald/Giemsa solutions (Sigma Aldrich, Missouri, USA) as described by the manufacturer's protocol and photos were taken under light microscopy.

To evaluate the morphology of cells, 1 × 105 sorted Ly6G+ and Ly6C+ cells were fixed on glass slides using the cytospin technique. Then, the cells were dried and stained with May-Grünwald/Giemsa solutions (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) according to the standard procedure. The stained cells were then observed under a light microscope (Olympus, Prague, Czech Republic), and an analysis of the cell types was done at 1000× magnification.

Human monocytes were isolated as described previously(18 (link), 20 , 29 (link)). Briefly, monocytes were isolated by centrifugation of citrate-phosphate-dextrose-adenine (CPDA)-coagulated blood (S-Monovettes, Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany) on a Ficoll-Paque gradient (GE Healthcare). Leukocytes were cultured overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2 in a cell culture flask in RPMI 1640 (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 10% FCS (Gibco) and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). For the migration assay, non-adherent leukocytes were removed and adherent cells were trypsinised (Gibco), centrifuged, and resuspended in medium. Monocyte migration was performed in a modified 48-well Boyden chamber (NeuroProbe Inc., Geithersburg, MD, USA), using a 5 μm pore filter to separate the 2 compartments. Monocytes were added in the upper compartment and 20 μg/ml S100A9 (abcam) or 200 nmol/L CyPA (R&D Systems) or CyPA together with 20 μg/ml of the potential antibodies or rIgG2a (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were added in the lower compartment. The receptor blocking antibody αCD147 and mIgG1 were added to the monocytes into the upper compartment. After 4 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2 the filter was fixed in Methanol, stained in a May-Grünwald/ Giemsa solution (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) and the migrated cells on the filter were counted using a microscope.

293T human embryonic kidney cells, human cancer cell lines (U-87, MCF-7, HeLa, 293T, AN3CA, Mia Paca-2, PANC-1), and early-passage (p3) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics as described10 (link). Transfection was carried out by the calcium phosphate-DNA precipitation method37 (link). CML-derived K562 cells were maintained and the growth curve analysis was performed as described10 (link). Where indicated, cells were washed in PBS, and re-plated in fresh medium without curcumin and PGV-1. Viable and dead cells were counted using the trypan blue exclusion method. In some cases, cells were fixed on slide glass by cytospin and inspected after staining with May-Grünwald Giemsa solution (Merck).

Cells were immobilized on glass slides at a concentration by cytospin centrifugation (ThermoFisher Scientific) at 300 rpm for 10 min. Once dried, cells were stained with May-Grünwald Giemsa solution (Merck, New Jersey). Cells were further stained with Myeloperoxidase, alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase. Cells were mounted with DPX Mountant for histology (Sigma-Aldrich, Misuri) and examined using the microscope Olympus AX70 TRF.

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.
