Article Title: Insight into the cellular fate and toxicity of aluminium adjuvants used in clinically approved human vaccinations

doi: 10.1038/srep31578

Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative lumogallion staining of agar-paraffin embedded (2 μm sections) THP-1 cells co-cultured with ( a ) 2.5, ( b ) 25.0, ( c ) 50.0 or ( d ) 100.0 μg/mL Alhydrogel ® (Brenntag Biosector, Denmark). Cell sections were incubated for 24 h in 100 μM lumogallion, 50 mM PIPES, pH 7.4. Slides were mounted with ProLong ® Gold Antifade Reagent with DAPI. All images depict lumogallion staining (orange) overlaid with DAPI-staining (blue). Magnified inserts show close-ups of individual cells with the light channel overlaid. White arrows highlight both individual and distinguishable adjuvant particles. Magnification X 1000, scale bars: 20 μm.

Article Snippet: Sections were finally air dried and mounted using ProLong ® Gold Antifade Reagent with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride (DAPI) (Life Technologies, UK) prior to storing horizontally for 24 h at 4 °C.

Techniques: Staining, Cell Culture, Incubation, Adjuvant
