Antibody Generation for CUB-Serine Protease

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For CUB-serine protease (CUB-SP), one segment from the CUB domain (amino acids 78–178) and one from the serine protease domain (amino acids 398–498) were selected for antibody generation. These two segments were fused into the pET-28a and pGEX-4T vectors, respectively, for over-expression. His6-tagged protein was injected 4 times intracutaneously into the backs of New Zealand white rabbits at 3-week intervals. The first two injections were mixed with Freund’s complete adjuvant (Sigma, USA), and the last two injections were mixed with Freund’s incomplete adjuvant (Sigma, USA). Sera were collected from the rabbits at 1 week after the final injection, and antibody was purified using affinity purification with GST-tagged protein as the ligands.
Rabbit anti-pp38 MAPK (phospho-p38MAPK, Thr180/Tyr182) and mouse anti-β-actin, as well as HRP-linked goat anti-rabbit and anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (USA). Mouse anti-PKAα/β and rabbit anti-serotonin was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (USA) and Sigma Aldrich (USA), respectively. Alexa Fluor 488-labeled donkey anti-rabbit IgG and Alexa Fluor 594-labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies were purchased from Life Technologies (USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The oocyte marker DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 4 (DDX4) and the FEC marker fork head box L2 (FOXL2) were analyzed to determine whether the oocytes of CRs, in particular those in MOFs or DNOs, showed biological characteristics similar to those of other rodents. Briefly, DDX4 and FOXL2 were expressed in germ cells and FECs from the time of their first appearance to adulthood in mice (Yamashita et al., 2015 (link)). Deparaffinized sections were treated with 10 mM citrate buffer for 20 min at 105°C for antigen retrieval. These sections were then blocked with 5% normal donkey serum (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States). They were incubated overnight with rabbit anti-DDX4 (1:500 dilution; ab13840; Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) and goat anti-rabbit FOXL2 antibody (1:1000; ab5096; Abcam) at 4°C. The sections were incubated for 1 h at room temperature with Alexa Fluor-488 labeled donkey anti-rabbit IgG (1:500, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, United States) and Alexa Fluor-564 labeled donkey anti-goat IgG (1:500, Life Technologies) for DDX4 and FOXL2 double immunofluorescence. The sections were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (1:200; Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan). The stained sections were examined using a BZ-X710 microscope (Keyence).

The tissue sections were stained with periodic acid Schiff-hematoxylin (PAS-H) for histopathological analysis. Immunodetection of target cell markers was performed using kidney specimens fixed with PFA; details are listed in Supplementary Table 1.
Briefly, deparaffinization and antigen retrieval was followed by submerging tissue sections in methanol containing 3% H2O2 for 20 min at room temperature and blocked with normal goat or donkey serum. Sections were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4°C followed by incubation with the respective secondary antibodies at room temperature for 30 min: Alexa Fluor 546-labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG (Life Technologies, Yokohama, Japan) or Alexa Fluor 488-labeled donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Life Technologies, Yokohama, Japan). The sections were examined under an All-in-One Fluorescence Microscope BZ-X710 (Keyence, Osaka, Japan).
For immunohistochemistry, the sections were incubated with the appropriate biotinylated secondary antibody for 30 min, then with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (SABPO kit; Nichirei, Tokyo, Japan) for another 30 min, followed by incubation with 3,3-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride-H2O2 solution. Finally, the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin, dehydrated in an ascending series of alcohol solutions, and cleared with xylene.

Ten micrometer frozen sections of formalin-fixed tissues were treated with 0.1% Triton X-100. Blocking was performed with 5% goat serum plus 5% bovine serum albumin followed by overnight incubation with rabbit anti-GFP antibody (1:400; Invitrogen). Anti-GFP antibodies were detected by fluorescence-conjugated goat antirabbit antibody IgG Alexa Fluor 488 (1:500; Invitrogen) and treatment with mounting medium (Vector). Tissues were then examined with a Zeiss 510 confocal microscope using FITC fluorescence filter (Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Thornwood, NY).
To confirm the location of the GFP expression in the kidney, multiple immunofluorescence study was performed using a podocyte marker, rabbit anti-wt1 (1:200; Santa Cruz), and goat anti-GFP (1:400; Invitrogen) antibody overnight at 4 °C, followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor 488-labeled donkey antirabbit IgG (1:200; Invitrogen) and Alexa Fluor 546-labeled donkey antigoat IgG (1:200; Invitrogen) at room temperature for 2 hours. Sections were washed, mounted with VECTASHIELD mounting medium with DAPI (4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) (Vector Laboratories), and then examined by laser confocal microscopy (LSM 710; Carl Zeiss AG).

Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were performed using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. Four-μm-thick sections were cut and dewaxed in xylene, rinsed in graded ethanol, and rehydrated in distilled water. After antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer (1 mM Tris/EDTA, pH 9.0), endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with 3% H2O2. Then slides were incubated with primary antibody (PDPN, 1:100, Abcam, ab236529, USA; CD163, Abcam, ab156769, USA; CD18, Affinity, BF0227, China). For IHC, markers were detected with a Goat Anti-rabbit IgG Two-step Detection Kit (PV-9000, ZSGB-Bio, China). Next, the slides were counterstained with Mayer Hematoxylin Solution (G1080, Solarbio, China) for nuclear staining. For IF, Alexa-Fluor 488 labeled donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, USA, 1:1000) and Alexa-Fluor 594 labeled donkey anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen, USA, 1:1000) were applied to the double-colored fluorescent staining.

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.
