Cells were fixed with 4% PFA (Solarbio, China) for 10–15 min at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 (Sigma) for 10–15 min at room temperature, blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (Solarbio) for 45–60 min at room temperature, and then incubated with primary antibodies against OCT4 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), SSEA4 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), SOX2 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), NESTIN (1:100; Sigma), β3-tubulin (1:100; Abcam), and GFAP (1:100; Abcam) overnight at 4 °C. And then cells were incubated with secondary antibodies: Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Alexa Fluor 488 (1:200; Invitrogen) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG Alexa Fluor 594 (1:200; Invitrogen) for 1 h at 37 °C. Wash with PBS three times before each step. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (300 nM, Invitrogen) for 15 min at room temperature. Fluorescence images were captured by Leica DMI 4000B fluorescence microscope and Leica TCS SP5 MP confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica, Germany).

Live-cell phase microscopy was performed on a Zeiss microscope equipped with an onstage incubator maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2, and the immunostained biochips were observed under the same microscope equipped with fluorescence-imaging ability.
After 3 days, the neurons on biochips (inside or outside microwells) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde/glucose in PBS and stained with neuron-specific antibody β3-tubulin (abcam). Alex Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse (Invitrogen) was used as the secondary antibody. Finally, slides were prepared with ProLong® gold antifade with DAPI reagent as the mounting medium (Invitrogen).

At POD28, corneas were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde for 2 hours and 1% paraformaldehyde for 30 minutes at 4°C and room temperature, respectively. Moreover, corneas were dehydrated using 20% and 10% sucrose solutions, followed by a permeation step consisting of 3 washes with PBS for 15 minutes. Samples were then blocked for 2 hours at room temperature with 5% normal donkey serum in PBS, followed by an overnight incubation with primary antibodies (β3 tubulin, 1:500; Abcam). Upon overnight incubation, the samples were washed 3 times with PBS for 30 minutes and incubated with fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies for 1 hour (1:1000 dilution). Images were captured using a confocal microscope (LSM780; Carl Zeiss Microscopy Ltd., Germany).

The following antibodies were used: homemade anti-Myo1b polyclonal antibodies (Almeida et al., 2011 (link)), 1:1,000 for Western blot and 1:50 for immunofluorescence; mouse monoclonal antibodies against Tau-1 (1:100) purchased from EMD Millipore and β-3 tubulin (1:150) purchased from Abcam; and rabbit polyclonal anti-GAPDH (1:20,000 for Western blot) purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. We also used Alexa Fluor 488–, 546–, or 647–coupled secondary antibodies against mouse or rabbit IgG (1:400) and horseradish peroxidase–conjugated secondary antibodies against mouse or rabbit IgG (1:5,000; Invitrogen); and anti–rabbit IgG Cy3 (1:400; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.; or 1:500; Molecular Probes). Alexa Fluor 488– or 546–conjugated phalloidin was used to detect F-actin (1:400; Invitrogen).

Briefly, PBS was used to wash the slides three times, which were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Ten minutes later, 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS was employed to permeabilize cells for 15 min. Then, tissues were blocked with 2% BSA in TBST for 1h. The antibody (NeuN [1:400, cat. No. ABN78; Millipore], p-CREB1 [1:200, cat. No. ab32096; Abcam], β3-Tubulin [1:400, cat. No. MAB1637; Millipore], and caspase-3 [1:100, cat. No. sc-7272; Santa Cruz]) was incubated overnight, and the second antibody was incubated for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the nuclei. Subsequently, the images were photographed using OLYMPUS FV1000.

Wistar Rat Eye Tissue Sectioning

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal experiments were conducted under a protocol approved by the University Health Network (UHN) animal care committee and conformed to local, provincial, and federal regulations. Wistar rats eyes were collected and sectioned as previously described (Guo et al., 2018 (link)). Briefly, p21–p30 rats were killed by CO2 asphyxiation. Eyes were then immediately enucleated and processed for analyses. Fixed eye tissues were dehydrated using 30% sucrose overnight before OCT embedding and cryosectioning. Tissue sections were permeabilized using 0.2% triton-X in PBS. After blocking, primary antibodies to ANXA4 (1:200; Sigma), GFAP (1:200; Sigma), β3 tubulin (1:200; Abcam) were incubated overnight. Samples were then incubated in Alexa-Fluor-488 or Alexa-Fluor-568 secondary antibodies (1:200; Life Technologies) for 1 h. Rhodamine phalloidin (1:50, Life Technologies) was incubated for 1 h, washed and coverslipped. Images were taken using a Nikon Eclips-Ti Confocal Microscope.

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.
