Tips for THP-1 differentiated to macrophages immunostaining?

20 December 2022 0 4K Report

Hi, We're experiencing troubles with THP-1 differentiated to macrophages immunostaining. The nucleus is not uniformly stained with Hoescht, not even the protein we want to stain. Any suggestion on fixation and staining of THP-1 differentiated to macrophages? Thanks!!

Why doesn't chromium 2+ ion use all its d-orbitals to receive lone pairs from six waters in [Cr(H20)6)]3+?

I'm guessing it's because the ligand experiences too much electron repulsion or proton repulsion from the chromium to insert them close to the 3d-orbitals which are close to the metal nucleus. Is...
