Quantitative Endothelial Cell Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Biotinylated lectin (biotinylated GSL I–isolectin B4; Vector Labs) was used to detect mouse endothelial cells. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed as previously described.(1994 (link)) An Histostain SP kit (AEC Mouse Kit; Zymed Laboratories, Inc) appropriate for the primary antibody was used in the labeled‐[strept] avidin‐biotin technique. Lectin‐positive cells were counted using the imaging software as described earlier, and the number of positive cells per mm² thrombus area was documented. All counts and measurements were performed in a blinded fashion.

Quantifying Microvascular Density and Capillary Domains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Endothelial-specific immunohistochemistry staining was performed with Biotinylated GSL I–isolectin B4 (Vector Laboratories, Inc.) on freshly cut sections. Whole slide images were analyzed for microvascular density using the Image-Scope 10.0 microvessel analysis algorithm. For capillary domain area studies, analyzed images of the tissue for microvessel density were transferred to Image J software (4). Capillary domain areas (CDA) to determine tissue cross-sectional area that is closer to a given capillary than to any other were defined by creating Voronoi polygons around each vessel using Voronoi tessellation. Capillary domain surface area was measured for each capillary centered polygon and exported to Microsoft excel 2010 (Microsoft) for further analysis (Supplemental Figure 2).

Immunostaining of Tight Junction Proteins in ARPE Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hcy-treated ARPE cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min, washed with PBS, and blocked with Power Block BioGenex, Fremont, CA), Ca. # BS-1310-25 for one hour. Cells were then incubated for 3h at 37°C with anti-ZO1 (Life technology, Cat#: 40-2200402200, diluted at 1/200), anti-occludin (Invitrogen, Cat#: 331500, diluted at 1/200), anti-F-actin (Abcam, ab205, diluted at 1/200) or Biotinylated GSL I - isolectin B4 (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, Ca), Cat#: B-1205, 7μl/ml). Thereafter, cells were washed 3 times with PBS containing 0.3% Triton-X, incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies (Alexafluor and Texas red avidin, Invitrogen, Eugene, Oregon), and coverslipped with Fluoroshield containing DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Corp., St. Louis, MO) as a counter stain. Immunofluorescent signals were detected by confocal microscopy (LSM, Carl Zeiss).

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.
