Protocol for oil red O staining of low-density lipoproteins for in vivo cell treatment

Abstract excerpt

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. • Protocol...
