Pupal and adult eye–brain complexes were dissected in cold Schneider’s Drosophila medium and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline for 40 min. Tissues were washed in Phosphate-buffered saline + 0.4% Triton-X (PBST) and mounted in Vectashield (Vector Laboratories, CA). Images were obtained with a Leica TCS SP8-X white laser confocal microscope with a ×63 glycerol objective (c = 1.3). The primary antibodies used in this study with given dilutions were as follows: mouse monoclonal anti-Chaoptin (1:200; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank); rat monoclonal anti-nCadherin (1:100; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank); rabbit monoclonal anti-Atg8 (1:100; Abcam); mouse monoclonal anti-Trio (1:50; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank); mouse monoclonal anti-LAR (1:50; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank); goat polyclonal anti-GFP (1:1000; Abcam); rat monoclonal anti-GFP (1:500; BioLegend); rabbit polyclonal anti-CD4 (1:600; Atlas Antibodies); rabbit polyclonal anti-DsRed (1:500; ClonTech); rabbit anti-Syd-1 (1:500; gift from Sigrist Lab). The secondary antibodies Cy3, Cy5 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) and Alexa488 (Invitrogen) were used in 1:500 dilution.

Adult brains of the following lines LC11-GAL4>UAS-GFP; LC10a-GAL4>UAS-GFP; MB-GAL4>UAS-GFP; CC-GAL4>UAS-GFP; M-DCN-Gal4>UAS-GFP were processed for GFP expression. Brains were dissected in ice-cold PBS, fixed 20 min at room temperature in 4% PFA. Samples were washed three times with PBST (0.3% PBT) for 20 min. Antibody incubations were performed in PBST, normal anti-GFP rabbit serum 1:1000 (Invitrogen, RRID:AB_221569) and anti-nc82 mouse serum 1:100 (Hybridoma Bank, RRID:AB_2314866), overnight at 4°C for primary antibodies and 2h at room temperature for secondary antibodies. After 3 washes in PBST 0.3%, samples were mounted in Vectashield (Vector Laboratories, CA) and imaged using a 20X objective with a Leica TCS SP8-X white laser confocal microscope. Acquired images are visualized and processed offline using Fiji.

Eye-brain complexes were dissected in PBS, fixed in 3.7% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS for 40 minutes, washed in PBST (0.4% Triton-X) and mounted in Vectashield (Vector Laboratories, CA). Images were collected using a Leica TCS SP8-X white laser confocal microscope with a 63X glycerol objective (NA=1.3).
Following antibodies were used for fixed imaging: Primary antibodies: anti-Trio (mouse, 1:50, DSHB), 24B10 (1:200, DSHB), anti-myc (1:200, Cell signaling), anti-Lar (mouse, 1:50, DSHB), anti-Syd-1 (rabbit, 1:500, gift from Stephan Sigrist).
Secondary antibodies: anti-mouse Alexa 647 (1:500, Life technologies), anti-mouse Cy5 (1:500, Jackson laboratories), anti-mouse-Cy3 (1:500, Jackson Laboratories), anti-Rabbit Alexa 647 (1:500, Life Technologies), anti-Rabbit Cy5 (1:500, Jackson Laboratories).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
