The Fluo8H, AM (AAT Bioquest, cat-no. 21091) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, Fluo8H stock solution (1.14 mol/L) was prepared by adding 1.5% Pluronic and 2.4% DMSO in PBS. Cells were incubated in EBM containing 1% FBS for 4h, Fluo8H 1:500 in starvation medium was added and cells were incubated for 30 min at 37°C, followed by 10 min at room temperature. Cells were washed twice with Live Cell Imaging Solution (Molecular Probes). Imaging of cells was performed in Live Cell Imaging Solution; compounds were added in the same volume of Live Cell Imaging Solution as the cells were cultured in, using 2x treatment solutions. Imaging was performed using a fluorescent microscope (Nikon Eclipse Ti-E, Tokyo, Japan) in combination with a Hamamatsu ORCA-Flash4.0 CCD camera (Hamamatsu, Japan). FITC fluorescence videos were acquired and quantified as stated below.

imLECs were seeded into coated channeled chamber slides (μ-Slide VI0.4; IBIDI). On the day of the assay, monolayers were preblocked with blocking antibodies for 30 min followed by the addition of 30,000 DCs, with or without blocking antibody. After 20 min, chambers were rinsed twice with media to remove nonadherent DCs. After a further 10 min equilibration at 37°C, time-lapse imaging was performed on a fluorescent microscope (Nikon Eclipse Ti-E) equipped with a Hamamatsu ORCA-Flash4.0 charge-coupled device camera (Hamamatsu) and a 20× objective (0.75 NA; Nikon). Phase contrast and FITC and APC fluorescence images were captured every 30 s for 30 min. Videos were analyzed using IMARIS software.

For analysis of centrioles, the EpCAM‐captured cells were cytospun (1000g for 5 min) onto number 1.5, 13mm coverslips pretreated with poly‐L‐lysine (1mg·mL−1 poly‐L‐lysine, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 1 h, washed 5 times with deionized water, and allowed to dry. Cells were then fixed with 100% ice‐cold methanol for 15 min. Fixed cells were blocked for 30 min in 3% BSA and 0.1% Triton X‐100 in PBS (PBSTx + BSA). Primary antibodies were incubated in PBSTx + BSA for 1 h at RT and washed three times in PBSTx, followed by secondary antibody incubation in PBSTx + BSA for 30 min at RT and two washes with PBSTx. Cells were counterstained with DAPI and mounted on glass slides with Prolong Gold antifade medium (Invitrogen). Cells were stained for centrin (Millipore, 04‐1624), pan‐cytokeratin (Abcam, ab7753), and exclusion markers (see above). Pictures were taken using the nis‐elements ar microscope imaging Software (Nikon, Melville, NY, USA) in Nikon Eclipse Ti‐E with ORCA‐Flash 4.0 Digital CMOS camera (Hamamatsu) florescent microscope with 10‐20X objectives in all the channels. Centrin foci were manually counted under 100X magnification and scored in CTCs and PBMCs.

Visualizing Microtubule Dynamics

GMPCPP-stabilized microtubule seeds were prepared as described (Gell, et al., 2010 (link)) and immobilized in flow chambers using neutravidin. The final imaging buffer is BRB80 (80 mM PIPES, pH 6.8, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgCl2) supplemented with 1mM GTP, 0.1% methylcellulose 4,000 cP, 1% pluronic F-127 and 0.1 mg/ml casein. An objective heater (Bioptechs) was used to warm the chamber to 30 °C. All chambers were sealed and allowed to equilibrate on the microscope stage for 5 min prior to imaging. IRM images were acquired on a Nikon Eclipse Ti-E equipped with a Hamamatsu ORCA Flash4.0 V2 sCMOS camera every 5 s for 30 or 60 min. For depolymerization rate measurements, the frame rate used was 20 frames/s.

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.
