Tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at 4°C, embedded in paraffin and 5μm sections applied to glass slides. These sections were assayed using DAPI as counterstain. The primary antibodies used were guinea pig anti-insulin (1/500; DAKO), rat anti-somatostatin (1/250; Millipore), goat anti-somatostatin (1/500; Santa Cruz), rabbit anti-PC1/3 (1/500; Millipore), rabbit anti-NeuroD1 (1/500; Millipore), rat anti-C-peptide (1/500; Phoenix pharmaceuticals), rabbit anti-Hhex (1/50; R&D. The secondary antibodies (1/1,000; Invitrogen and Jackson ImmunoResearch) used were Alexa Fluor 488, 594, and 647 and Cy3 and Cy5. Images were collected at room temperature on an AxioImagerZ.1 upright microscope (Zeiss) equipped with a Zeiss 10× Plan-Neofluar dry NA 0.3 and/or Zeiss 20× Plan-Apochromat dry NA 0.8 and/or Zeiss 20× Plan-Neofluar dry NA 0.5, a DAPI filter (excitation [Ex] 365/12 nm, dichroic mirror [DM] 395 nm, emission [Em] 445/50), a GFP filter (Ex 470/40 nm, DM 495 nm, and Em 525/50 nm), a rhodamine filter (Ex 546/12 nm, DM 560 nm, and Em 608/65 nm), a Texas red filter (Ex 560/40 nm, DM 582 nm, and Em 630/785 nm), and/or a Cy5 filter (Ex 640/30 nm, DM 660 nm, Em 690/50 nm).

For immunofluorescence analyses, images were collected at room temperature on an AxioImagerZ.1 upright microscope (Zeiss) equipped with a Zeiss 10× Plan-Neofluar dry NA 0.3 and/or Zeiss 20× Plan-Apochromat dry NA 0.8 and/or Zeiss 20× Plan-Neofluar dry NA 0.5, a DAPI filter (excitation [Ex] 365/12 nm, dichroic mirror [DM] 395 nm, emission [Em] 445/50), a GFP filter (Ex 470/40 nm, DM 495 nm, and Em 525/50 nm), a rhodamine filter (Ex 546/12 nm, DM 560 nm, and Em 608/65 nm), a Texas red filter (Ex 560/40 nm, DM 582 nm, and Em 630/785 nm), and/or a Cy5 filter (Ex 640/30 nm, DM 660 nm, Em 690/50 nm). For mosaic acquisitions, the microscope was equipped with an automated xy stage (Märzhäuser). Images were acquired with a monochrome MRm axiocam camera (Zeiss) controlled with Axiovision 4.9.1 software (Zeiss). Posttreatment image acquisition and analysis were performed using a homemade macro on Fiji (Schindelin et al., 2012 (link)). For histological analyses, images were collected at room temperature on an Axioplan2 upright microscope (Zeiss) equipped with a Zeiss 10× Plan-Neofluar PH1 dry NA 0.3 objective lens. Images were acquired with a color Infinity3-6 camera (Lumenera Corporation) controlled with Micro-Manager 1.48 software (Edelstein et al., 2014 (link)).

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.
