Primary antibodies were used against olfactory marker protein (Omp; goat, Wako 019-22291, Research Resource Identifier [RRID]: AB_664696; 1:500), Sox10 (rabbit, gift of Vivian Lee, Medical College of Wisconsin, WI, 1:3,000; Meng, Yuan, & Lee, 2011 ; Yardley & Garcia-Castro, 2012 (link)), Tbr1 (rabbit, Abcam ab31940, RRID: AB_2200219; 1:1,000; expression data summarized in File S3) and Tubb3 (neuronal αIII tubulin; mouse IgG2a, clone TUJ1, Covance MMS-435P, RRID:AB_2313773; 1:250). Matched AlexaFluor-conjugated secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used at 1:1,000. For triple immunostaining, anti-Tubb3 was detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody (goat antimouse IgG2a, Invitrogen, 1:100), followed by Alexa350-conjugated NeutrAvidin (Molecular Probes, 1:100). Slides were mounted with Fluoromount G (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL) or Vectashield with 4’,6-diamidino-2’-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI; Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA).

Cells (~ 1 × 105) were cultured on a cover glass in a 12‐well plate with 700 μL of medium. The neural cells were allowed to grow to desired morphology and density before staining procedure. Cells were first washed once with PBS and fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde/4% sucrose in PBS at room temp, followed by permeabilization and DNA denaturation by 0.2% TritonX‐100 in 4 m HCl. After that, the cells were washed with PBS and blocked in 80 μL BSA (3%). The cells were incubated with anti‐FOXG1 (ab18259; Abcam), Ki‐67 (BD, 550609), Otx1/2 (ab21990; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), PAX6 (ab195045; Abcam), NESTIN (BD, 561230), Nkx2.1 (MAB5460; Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany), MAP2 (M4403; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), GABA (A2052; Sigma) VGAT (131011; Synaptic systems, Goettingen, Germany), SYNAPSIN (Abcam), TBR1 (ab31940; Abcam), GAT1 and Glutamate (ab1511; Millipore) in BSA (3%) at 4 °C overnight, and then conjugated with and Hoechst 33342 or DAPI.

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.
