Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
30μm coronal hemi-brain sections were washed 2×10min in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) then exposed to UV light overnight to reduce autofluorescence. The next day, slices were washed 3×10min in PBS, then washed 2×15min in PBS + 0.1% Tween-20 (PBS-T). Slices were blocked in PBS + 10% Normal Donkey Serum + 0.2% Gelatin (Sigma) + 0.5% Triton-X for 1hr at room temperature (RT), then washed for 10min in PBS. Because some antibodies were raised in mouse, slices were additionally blocked in 1 drop Mouse IgG Blocking Reagent (Vector Labs, MKB-2213-1) per 5mL PBS for 1 hour at RT. Primary antibodies were diluted to optimized concentrations (anti-NeuN 1:1000, anti-MHC-I (OX18 that recognizes multiple MHC-I proteins) 1:50, anti-PSD-95 1:200) in 1:12.5 mouse-on-mouse Protein Concentrate (Vector Labs, MKB-2213-1) in PBS, and slices were incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, slices were washed 3x (15 min, 10 min, 5 min) in PBS-T. Secondary antibodies (Lifetech, Jackson ImmunoResearch; 1:1000) were diluted in the same dilution buffer as primary antibodies and incubated 1hr at RT. Slices were then washed 3x (15 min, 10 min, 5 min) with PBS, mounted with Vectashield + DAPI, and coverslipped.

Testes of transplanted and control mice were fixed, dehydrated, embedded in paraffin and serial sectioned (5 μm), and every fourth section was used for immunohistochemical analysis. In short, after removal of the paraffin, we performed heat-induced antigen retrieval (10 minutes) using 0.01 M tri-sodium citrate dehydrate buffer (pH = 6). Sections were blocked for 1 h with mouse IgG blocking reagent (Vector Laboratories, USA), after which we blocked with 5% BSA + 0.5% BSAc (Aurion, the Netherlands) for 1 h. Sections were incubated with the anti-human nucleoli primary antibody (Supplementary Table SI) overnight in a humidified box at 4°C. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked with 3% H2O2 (Millipore, USA) in methanol. As a secondary antibody, poly-HRP Goat-anti-Mouse/Rabbit (Immunologic, the Netherlands) was used with 30 minutes incubation at room temperature. The DAB bright kit (Immunologic, the Netherlands) was used to visualize the reaction product, followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin. The researcher who analyzed the sections was blinded for the origin of the sections (transplanted or not-transplanted tissue).
