10 (link) 2 h before sacrifice, mice were intraperitoneally injected with methoxy‐X04 5 mg/kg (2 mg/ml dissolved 1 to 1 into dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and resuspended 0.9% saline solution). After intracardial perfusion, microglia was isolated by mechanical dissociation and density gradient. The density gradient was generated resuspending the cell pellet in 70% Percoll in PBS overlayed with 37% Percoll solution in PBS and centrifuged at 2000 g for 20 min in a refrigerated centrifuge. Microglia was obtained by the 37‐70% Percoll gradient and washed 1:5 in ice‐cold PBS and spun at maximum speed in refrigerated microcentrifuge for 1 min. Microglia cells were isolated with FACSAria™ III cell sorter (BD Biosciences) after staining with CD11b‐BV650 (1:200 Biolegend, 141723), CD45‐BV786 (1:200, BD Biosciences 564225), and CX3CR1‐FITC (1:100, Biolegend, 149019). Microglia were gated as live (propidium iodide negative), CD11b+, CD45+, CX3CR1+ single cells, and Me‐X04+ and Me‐X04− microglial populations in transgenic 5xFAD mice were sorted separately for further analysis (Supplementary Figure

Based on most similar protocols
As authors may omit details in methods from publication, our AI will look for missing critical information across the 5 most similar protocols.
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.
