Coverslips were washed once with PBS and then fixed with 4% PFA at room temperature for 10 min and with methanol (prechilled in −20 °C) in −20 °C for 30 min. Cells were then permeabilized with 0.2% Triton-X-100 for 10 min. The cells were then blocked with blocking buffer (1% CCS, 4% BSA in PBS) for 1-2 h at room temperature. Primary antibodies, including

Secondary antibodies diluted in PBS containing 0.03% Triton-X-100 were incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Images were obtained using a confocal microscope with Zen 2011 software (Zeiss LSM 780, Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) at 40x and 63x and the figures were processed with Fiji (ImageJ) and Adobe Photoshop.
