Abstract

Detection of the protein PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) is used to identify cells in the S phase of the cell cycle to indicate cellular proliferation. Here we describe our method to detect PCNA expression by microglia and macrophages in retinal cryosections. We have used this procedure with zebrafish tissue, but this procedure could be applied to cryosections from any organism. Retinal cryosections are subjected to a heat-mediated antigen retrieval step in Citrate Buffer, then immunostained with antibodies to label PCNA and microglia/macrophages, and counterstained for cell nuclei. After fluorescent microscopy, the number of total and PCNA+ microglia/macrophages can be quantified and normalized to compare across samples and groups.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 March 2023.
All research outputs
#17,332,276
of 25,436,226 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#6,004
of 14,189 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#271,408
of 475,915 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#286
of 713 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,436,226 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,189 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 475,915 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 713 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
