Blastocyst cell counting46 (link) was performed by fixing blastocysts in 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde and incubating them at 4 °C overnight in rabbit anti-Oct4 antibody (1:100; Santa Cruz) or for 1 h at 37 °C in mouse anti-Cdx2 antibody (1:100; BioGenex, USA), followed by 1 h at 37 °C in Alexa 488-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen) or Alexa 594-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen) respectively. Cells stained with Alexa 488 were scored as Oct4-positive (pluriblasts) and those with Alexa 594, as Cdx2-positive (trophoblasts).

Cells were fixed and immunostained with a standard protocol (Ninomiya et al. 2014 (link)). Antibodies used were listed as follows: rabbit anti-OCT4 antibody (1/500; Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX; sc-9081), goat anti-SOX17 antibody (1/300; R&D, Minneapolis, MN; AF1924), goat anti-PDX1 (1/300; R&D; AF2419), mouse anti-NGN3 (1/300; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, Iowa City, IA; F25A1B3), mouse anti-GLUCAGON (1/600; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO; G2654), rat anti-C-peptide (1/600; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank; GN-ID4), anti-rabbit IgG, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated (1/600; Invitrogen; A21206), anti-goat IgG, Alexa Fluor 594 conjugated (1/600; Invitrogen; A11058), anti-mouse IgG, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated (1/600; Invitrogen; A21202), anti-rat IgG, Alexa Fluor 594 conjugated (1/600; Invitrogen; A-11007). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (1/200; Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan; 340–07971) before specimens were mounted in Prolong Gold Antifade Reagent (Invitrogen). Specimens were observed with an inverted fluorescent microscope (Keyence, Osaka, Japan).

AKP was stained using a specific kit (Cat. No. ZLI9041; Beijing Zhongshan Jinqiao Co., Beijing, China) following the manufacturer protocol. OCT-4 and MAP-2 were immunostained in germline stem cells and colonies using monospecific antibodies.
In brief, cells and colonies were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min, washed twice with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS for 5 min, and blocked with 5% BSA in PBS at room temperature for 40 min. Thereafter, specimens were incubated overnight at 4°C with a rabbit anti-OCT-4 antibody (1:500 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) or a mouse anti-MAP-2 antibody (1:500 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnology).
After washing, specimens were incubated with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled goat anti-rabbit or anti-mouse immunoglobulin G antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at room temperature in the dark for 1 h. Following further washing, the specimens were mounted and examined under a fluorescent microscope. Primary and secondary antibodies were prepared in 1% BSA in PBS. PBS served as the negative control.

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.
