ARPE-19 cells grown on coverslips were fixed with 4% PFA in PBS at 4°C. For immunocytochemistry staining, the ARPE-19 cells on the coverslips were incubated with 5% goat serum in 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS at RT for 1 h. These cells were then incubated with rabbit anti-IL-22Rα (1:100; abcam, Cambridge, UK) overnight at 4°C. And then, the cells were incubated with Alexa fluor-633 conjugated anti-rabbit Ab (1:2,000; Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA, USA) for 60 min. at RT and finally stained with DAPI. The fixed eye samples were embedded in paraffin and stained with rabbit anti-IL-22Rα (1:200; abcam) and Alexa fluor-633 conjugated anti-rabbit Ab (1:2,000; Invitrogen).
