Post-staining was done for 1min with 3% Lead Citrate (Delta Microscopies #11300). For scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the fixated samples were dehydrated in 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% Ethanol (each step for 1h at RT) and incubated in a 1:1 solution of Ethanol and Hexamethyldisilazan (HMDS; Carl Roth #3840.2) for 30min. After incubation in 100% HMDS, the solvent was allowed to evaporate. The dehydrated tissue was mounted onto sample holders and sputtered with gold using a Polaron Cool Sputter Coater E 5100.

Punch biopsies were taken from harvested mouse skin and frozen at –20°C. Sections of 8 μm were generated on glass microscope slides (Star Frost, Laborchemie GmbH, Vienna, Austria) with a cryotome (MICROM HM 550, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Runcorn, UK). For histological analysis sections were stained with hematoxylin (Merck) and eosin (Merck). For immunofluorescence staining sections were fixed in ice cold aceton (Merck) for 2 min and blocked in 0.5% BSA (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS (Invitrogen) for 60 min. Primary antibodies were: pAb against the NC-1 domain of type VII collagen (LH7.2, kindly provided by Dr. Alexander Nyström from Freiburg) produced in rabbit diluted 1:3000 in PBS for 90 min, monoclonal anti-involucrin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany), 1:100 for 2 h. The secondary antibody anti-rabbit AF594 and anti-mouse AF488 (Invitrogen) were incubated for 1 h in a 1:400 dilution in PBS in the dark. DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich) staining of the nuclei (Sigma-Aldrich) was performed in dilution of 1:2000 for 10 min. After mounting, using a fluorescence aqueous mounting medium (Dako), the sections were observed under the confocal laser scanning unit (Axio Observer Z1 attached to LSM710, Zeiss) and images were converted to TIFF files with the ZEN Blue 2012 (Carl Zeiss) software.

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.
