The following secondary antibodies were used: DyLight 649 anti-mouse, Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-mouse, Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-rabbit and DyLight 649 anti-chicken antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch).
The primary antibodies were diluted either in 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH = 7.5, 150 mM NaCl or in 1× buffer for exonuclease III. The secondary antibodies were diluted in 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH = 7.5 and 150 mM NaCl. The cells were incubated with primary and secondary antibodies for 30 minutes at 37°C (if exonuclease III was used) or at room temperature (RT). After washing, the cells were mounted in the solution of 90% glycerol, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 and 2.5% 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and evaluated.
