Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After freeze-cracking, embryos were fixed in −20°C methanol for 15 min and then incubated with 1:1,000 rabbit anti–KLP-7, a gift from K. Oegema at the University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA (Oegema et al., 2001 (link)), and 1:50,000 mouse anti–α-tubulin (DM1A; Sigma-Aldrich) antibodies at 4°C overnight. As previously described, the KLP-7 antibody was generated by amplifying a fragment of KLP-7 from cDNA using the primers 5′-CGCGCGAGATCTCAGAGAAAACGAGCCGAGAA-3′ and 5′-GCGCGCGAATTCTCAAGGAGCCATACGAACAGGAAC-3′. Fragments were digested with BglII-–EcoRI and cloned into pGEX6P-1 (GE Healthcare) to produce GST-KLP-7 (Oegema et al., 2001 (link)). After washing, the slides were incubated with 1:1,000 anti-rabbit–Alexa 488 and 1:1,000 anti-mouse–Alexa 555 (Life Technologies) for 2 h at room temperature. Slides were then incubated with 100 ng/ml DAPI (Roche) for 15 min before mounting. Images were collected with a confocal microscope (LSM 700; Carl Zeiss), and a z projection is shown in Fig. 1 D. A predicted but unverified in-frame splice product of klp-7(tm2143) would remove amino acids 97–364 (Fig. 1 and see the last paragraph of the preceding subsection); the peptide used as the antigen for generating the KLP-7 antisera included amino acids 14–190, and thus, the antisera might not recognize an in-frame deletion allele protein product (Oegema et al., 2001 (link)).

Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. After antibody blocking, primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4 °C. We used rabbit anti-insulin and mouse anti-glucagon (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit anti-PDX1, goat anti-PDX1, mouse anti-NEUROD1, rabbit anti-MAFA (1:200; Abcam), and mouse anti-albumin (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). For secondary fluorescence labeling, the cells were incubated with anti-rabbit IgG Alexa Fluor 488, anti-rabbit IgG Alex Fluor 555, anti-goat IgG Alex Fluor 488, anti-mouse Alexa 555, and anti-mouse Alexa 488 (1:200; Thermo Fisher Scientific). ProLong Gold antifade reagent containing DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to stain the nuclei and for mounting. The slides were visualized using the EVOS® FL auto cell imaging system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Under the microscope, the cells with red fluorescence were insulin or glucagon positive and blue fluorescence highlighted the nucleus and counted in 10 randomly selected fields per IPC sheet or IPC cells with total of 3 donors in each group. The results were presented as insulin- or glucagon-positive cells per 100 cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA fragments were amplified by PCR with exTaq-HS (Takara Bio) and Phusion HF (New England Biolabs) DNA polymerases from Ciona genomic DNA or cDNA. The primers that we used were summarized in Appendix Table S1. The amplicons were subcloned into TOPO vectors (life technologies). DIG or fluorescein-labeled RNA probes were synthesized by T7 and sp6 RNA polymerases (Roche) from template DNA plasmid digested by NotI or SpeI (New England Biolabs), and were cleaned by RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN). We followed the protocol for in situ hybridization described before (Christiaen et al, 2009b (link); Ohta and Satou, 2013 (link)). We detected fluorescein and DIG probes using TSA plus (Perkin Elmer), green (FP1168), and red (FP1170), respectively. Primer sequences are provided in Appendix Table S1.
We used an antibody for phospho histone 3 (pH3) that was previously reported (Shirae-Kurabayashi et al, 2006 (link)) (pH3-ser10-6g3-mouse-mAb, Cell Signaling; #9706; 1:500 diluted). The primary antibody was added together with anti-DIG antibody during FISH process, and secondary antibody (anti-mouse-Alexa-555, Thermo Scientific, A-21127) was used to detect the anti-pH3 antibody after detection of ISH probe by using TSA plus (Perkin Elmer) green (FP1168).
