Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are the most abundant circulating lipoproteins and the most critical factor in the development of atherosclerosis. This protocol allows the staining of LDLs with oil red O to monitor particle uptake in bright-field microscopy. Here, we describe how to stain isolated LDLs using oil red O and how to use them to monitor LDL uptake in time-lapse experiments or fixed cells.
低密度脂蛋白(LDLs)是循环中含量最丰富的脂蛋白,也是动脉粥样硬化发展过程中最关键的因素。本实验方案允许使用油红O对LDLs进行染色,以便在明场显微镜下监测颗粒摄取情况。在这里,我们描述了如何使用油红O对分离出的LDLs进行染色,以及如何在延时实验或固定细胞中使用它们来监测LDL摄取情况。
