ECM-producing HPSC cultures were fixed, permeabilized and processed as published (30 ). Samples were blocked using Odyssey® Blocking Buffer (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE) containing 1% (v/v) donkey serum then incubated with either rabbit polyclonal anti-human fibronectin (1∶200) or 1A4 mouse anti-αSMA (1∶300), both from Sigma-Aldrich and diluted in blocking buffer. Fluorophore cross-linked secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories Inc.) were incubated at 1∶100 dilution. Samples were mounted using Prolong Gold anti-fading reagent from Life Technologies (Carlsbad, CA) and scanned using a confocal spinning disk Ultraview (Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences, Boston, MA) microscope. Images were acquired with a 60× 1.45 PlanApo TIRF oil immersion objective, under identical exposure conditions using Volocity 6.3.0 (Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences).

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.
