Slides were thawed to room temperature, and lines drawn to partition the edges of sections on the glass slides using a PAPpen (ImmEdge Pen; Vector Labs H4000). The sections were rehydrated, blocked, permeabilized and immunostained with primary antibodies: PAX6 (BioLegend, 1:200), SOX2 (Santa Cruz, 1:100), β-tubulin III (Sigma, 1:1000), FOXG1 (Takara, 1:500), SOX10 (Santa Cruz, 1:100), Ki67 (Thermo Fisher, 1:200), Nestin (Millipore, 1:200), GFAP (Millipore, 1:400), S100beta (DAKO Potts, 1:400), CTIP2 (Abcam, 1:500), SATB2 (Abcam, 1:50), MAP2AB (Abcam, 1:1000-2000), NeuN (Millipore, 1:200), TBR1(Abcam, 1:500), BRN2 (Millipore, 1:500), MEF2C (Novis, 1:200), AT8 (Invitrogen, 1:1000), PHF1 (gift from Peter Davies,1:1000), Total Tau (DAKO Potts, 1:200), DA9 (gift from Peter Davies, 1:1000), ELAVL4 (Santa Cruz, 1:200), TIA1 (Santa Cruz, 1:100), G3BP1 (Protein Tech, 1:200), VGLUT1 (gift from Susan Morton, Tom Jessell, 1:16,000), Calbindin1 (Swant, 1:10,000), Homer1 (SYSY, 1:250) and Synapsin1 (Millipore, 1:100). Primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4C, washed three times with PBS and then incubated with corresponding Alexa Fluor conjugated secondary antibody (1:333-1000) for 1 hour at room temperature. Sections were coverslipped and imaged using fluorescence and confocal microscopy (Zeiss AXIO Observer.Z1; Zeiss 780).

Immunohistochemistry was performed as described6 (link). Aggregates were fixed with 4% PFA and sectioned with a cryostat (Leica). Frozen sections were treated with or without heat-based antigen retrieval in Target Retrieval solution (Dako) at 105 °C for 15 min. The primary antibodies used in this study were as follows: Chx10 (sheep; 1:500; Exalpha), Rx (guinea pig; 1:2000; Takara), Pax6 (mouse; 1:1000; BD Biosciences), Mitf (mouse; 1:500; Exalpha), Crx (rabbit; 1:200; Takara), Recoverin (rabbit; 1:1000; Proteintech), NRL (goat; 1:500; R&D Systems), RXR-gamma (rabbit; 1:500; Spring Bioscience), Rhodopsin (mouse; 1:1000; Sigma; RET-P1), S-opsin (rabbit; 1:500; Millipore), L/M-opsin (rabbit; 1:500; Millipore), PKCalpha (rabbit; 1:500; Sigma), HuNu (Ms; 1:1000; Millipore), Calbindin (rabbit; 1:500; Millipore), N-cadherin (mouse; 1:500; BD Biosciences), FoxG1 (rabbit; 1:2000; Takara), Ctip2 (rat; 1:500; abcam), Tbr1 (rabbit; 1:500; abcam). Nuclear counter-staining was performed with DAPI (Nacalai). Stained sections were analyzed with a fluorescence microscope (BIOREVO; Keyence) and a confocal microscope (FV1200; Olympus). Image analyses were performed with ImageJ 1.48 v software (NIH).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Organoid Cultures

Organoids were randomly selected and fixed in 4% PFA in PBS for 2–4 hours. The organoids were then cryopreserved in 25% sucrose overnight, embedded in O.C.T. (Sakura), and frozen on dry ice before being stored at −80°C. Serial cryosections were obtained with a thickness of 12–16 µm. Immunostaining was performed by incubating the sections in blocking solution (PBS, 10% Donkey Serum, 1% Triton-100) for 1 hour, followed by incubation with primary antibodies (overnight, 4°C) and secondary antibodies (1–2 hours, from Jackson ImmunoResearch or ThermoFisher Scientific). The slides were then mounted with coverslips using VECTASHIELD (Vector Labs) and imaged on a Zeiss microscope equipped with an apotome module and ZEN 3.3 (ZEN pro) software. Three cell lines were used for immunocytochemical analyses, and a minimum of four organoids per line were analyzed. Images were acquired randomly to cover the entire extent of the organoid. Antibody list: FOXG1 (rabbit, 1:200, Takara) and PAX6 (mouse, 1:200, BD Bioscience), EOMES (rabbit, 1:1000, Abcam), FOXP2 (goat, 1:200, Santa Cruz), GAD1 (mouse, 1:200, Chemicon), HuC/D (mouse, 1:200, Invitrogen), SOX1 (goat, 1:100, R&D Systems), CTIP2 (rat, 1:500, Abcam).

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.
