Embryos were subjected to anesthesia before fixation at stage 40 by 2 h of incubation in 4% paraformaldehyde, 2× phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS), and 0.1% Tween‐20 at room temperature (RT). Samples were rinsed three times with PTW 1× (PBS 1×, 0.1% Tween‐20, pH 7.3) and then incubated overnight (ON) in 15% sucrose/PTW 1× at 4°C, and then again incubated overnight in 30% sucrose/PTW 1× at 4°C. Cryosections of the larvae were processed for immunostaining. Sections were rehydrated in PTW 1×. Blocking solution containing 10% FBS/PTW 1× was applied for 1 h at RT. Primary antibodies (GFP Invitrogen A‐6455, 1:500, Rhodopsin Thermo Fisher MA5‐11741, 1:100) were diluted in 5% FBS/PTW 1×, and sections were incubated ON at 4°C. ARL13B (1:500; #17711‐I‐AP, Proteintech). Thus, samples were washed three times with PTW 1× and incubated with secondary antibody Alexa 488 anti‐rabbit IgG (1:1,000, Invitrogen A‐11037) and Alexa 594 anti‐mouse IgG (1:1,000, Invitrogen A‐11032). Nuclei were stained with DAPI 1:500 in PBS for 10 min at RT. Finally, sections were washed three times with PTW 1× and mounted with PBS/glycerol solution.

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.
