mGECs on coverslips were fixed with methanol and incubated with anti-8-oxoG monoclonal antibody (N45.1; Japan Institute for the Control of Aging) previously described [35 (link)]. Cells were also stained with either goat anti-mtTFA antibodies (Santa Cruz), rabbit anti-LC3 (Novus Biologicals), or rabbit anti-phospho-histone H2A.X (Ser139) Antibody (Cell Signaling Technology). The antigen-antibody complexes were visualized with Alexa Fluor secondary antibodies. DAPI was added to mounting medium. mGECs plated in 12-well slide (Ibidi) at a density of 2.0 × 104 cells/well and were transfected with WT and mutant GFP-endoG and fixed with 4% PFA in PBS. DAPI was added to mounting medium. Podocytes on coverslips were fixed with 4% PFA in PBS, incubated anti-Caspase 3 antibodies (cleaved Santa Cruz) and Phalloidin-FITC (Sigma). DAPI was added to mounting medium. The cells were imaged with a Zeiss Axioplan2 equipped with Q-imaging MP3.3 RTV color camera running QED capture software.

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.
