Embryonic gonads were fixed in 4% PFA for 30 min at 4°C. Gonads were next submerged in 10 and 20% sucrose in PBS for 1 h each at 4°C, and in 30% sucrose in PBS overnight at 4°C. The gonads were then embedded in Tissue-Tek O.C.T. compound (Sakura Finetek) and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Six-micrometer-thick sections of each gonad were applied to glass slides and autoclaved in TRS (Dako). After pre-incubation with 3% skim milk in PBS-T (PBS with 0.1% Tween20 (Sigma-Aldrich)) at RT for 30 min, the sections were reacted with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C at the following dilutions: 1:200 for mouse anti-phospho-histone H3 (ser10) (1:200, Sigma-Aldrich, 06-570), goat anti-CDH1 (1μg/ml, R&D, AF748), rabbit anti-DNMT3L (1:500, provided by Dr. Yamanaka), rabbit anti-STRA8 (1:200, abcam #ab49602), rabbit anti-Ki67 (1:200, Invitrogen #MA5-14520), rat anti-Ki67 (1:100, Invitrogen AB_10854564) and anti-pS6 (1:200, CST #2211).

Immunofluorescence Imaging of Organoids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunofluorescence, organoids were seeded as single cells on a Falcon 4-well Culture slide (FAL354114, In Vitro Technologies, Mt Wellington, Auckland, New Zealand) with 200 cells per well and were induced at day 1 with endoxifen as previously described. If required, organoids were drugged at day 2 for 48 h. At day 4 or 5, organoids were washed for 1 h with PBS and fixed in 1% PFA for 1 h, followed by blocking in 10% FHS/0.5% Triton in PBS. Organoids were then incubated for 3 h, at RT, with primary antibody E-Cadherin 1:100 (AF748, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), Tp53 1:100 (ab246550, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or Ki-67 1:100 (ab1667, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), followed by a 2 h incubation with the according secondary antibody Donkey anti-Goat Alexa fluor 488 1:400 (A11055, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) or Goat anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 1:500 (A11008, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Slides were then mounted with ProLong Gold Antifade Mounting with DAPI (P36935, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and imaged with a Nikon A1+ inverted confocal laser scanning microscope and a Nikon DSiR2 color 16 MP camera (Otago Micro and Nanoscale Imaging, University of Otago). Organoids were imaged every 10 microns.

PLA was performed on tissue samples fixed at 4°C for < 24 h in 10% formalin prior to processing using the Duolink Detection kit (Sigma) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, after citrate buffer-mediated antigen retrieval, the slides were incubated with goat E-cadherin (1/200, R&D Systems AF748) and mouse β-catenin (1/2,000 for mouse tissue, 1/200 for human tissue, #610154, BD Biosciences) overnight. Detection was performed with PLA probes (anti-goat and anti-mouse) conjugated to oligonucleotides. After ligation, amplification detection with a fluorescent probe, slides were imaged on a Zeiss LSM confocal microscope. Z-stacks with 40× objectives were taken. PLA dots in crypts were analysed with ImageJ and either calculated as area fraction or count/nuclei.

Bladders were aseptically harvested and fixed overnight in methacarn (60% methanol, 30% chloroform, 10% glacial acetic acid), bisected to give two halves per bladder, paraffin-embedded and sectioned. For histopathological examination, slides were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and imaged with a Zeiss Axio Scan Z.1 brightfield slide scanner. Immunofluorescence experiments were conducted as previously described [15 (link)]. Primary antibodies used were uroplakin IIIa (mouse monoclonal, 10R-U103a, Fitzgerald), Trp63 (rabbit polyclonal, GTX102425, GeneTex), E-cadherin (goat polyclonal IgG, AF748, R&D Systems), cytokeratin 5 (chicken polyclonal, 905901, BioLegend) and cytokeratin 20 (mouse monoclonal, M7019, DAKO). Samples were mounted in ProLong Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (ThermoFisher Scientific) and fluorescence was visualized on a ZEISS Axioskop Observer.Z1 microscope.

Immunoreactions were performed as described previously [26, (link)27] (link). Briefly, tongue or ganglion sections were air dried, rehydrated, blocked (in 10% normal donkey serum, 0.3% Triton-X in PBS-X), and incubated overnight at 4˚C with primary antibodies. On the next day, slides were washed and incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies for 1-2 h at room temperature in the dark. Primary antibodies were goat anti-SHH (AF464, 0.1 μg/mL; R&D Systems); rat anti-keratin 8 (TROMA-1, 1:1,000; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank); goat anti-Ecadherin (AF748, 1:5,000; R&D Systems) and rabbit anti-RFP (600-401-379, 1:1,000; Rockland).

Lungs were excised and either embedded in OCT, as previously described, or fixed in 10% (v/v) formalin and embedded in paraffin. Prior to staining, slides with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections were subject to deparaffinization and antigen retrieval. Prior to staining, slides with fresh-frozen sections were air dried, fixed in ice-cold acetone for 10 min, air dried, and re-hydrated in PBS.

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.
