    SentencesResources
    Integrin-blocking antibodies anti-α5 (clone 5H10-27)
    anti-α5
    suggested: None
    For integrin blocking studies, FN-null MEFs were pre-incubated with anti-integrin antibodies (50 μg/mL) or 25 μM peptide for 1 h prior to seeding.
    anti-integrin
    suggested: None
    Bound antibodies were detected with Alexa448-, Alexa549-, or Alexa647-labeled goat anti-rabbit or -mouse secondary antibodies and visualized using a BX60 fluorescence microscope (Olympus) equipped with an epifluorescent lamp (Lumen Dynamics) and an EXi Blue Fluorescence Camera (Q Imaging), acquired with QCapture software.
    anti-rabbit
    suggested: None
    -mouse
    suggested: None
    Blots were then washed with TBS-T, incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies, and developed using SuperSignal™ West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Thermo Scientific).

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
