For immunohistochemistry embryos were fixed at the indicated stages in 4% PFA in 1 x PTW over night at 4 °C. Fixed embryos were either heated (Inoue and Wittbrodt, 2011 (link)) and mounted for cryo-sectioning or stained whole mount according to the protocols adapted from the zebrafish book (Westerfield, 2000 ). In case of sectioning, frontal or lateral cryosections (as indicated) of 16 μm thickness were prepared and stained as described in (Inoue and Wittbrodt, 2011 (link)).

For whole-mount immunostaining, embryos were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde with 1× PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) and 4% sucrose at 4°C overnight. The fixed embryos were washed with PBSTr (PBS + 0.5% Triton X-100), dissected and incubated in acetone at −20 °C for 7 min. Dissected brains were washed once with PBSTr and twice with PDT (PBS, 1% BSA, 1% DMSO, 0.5% Triton X-100), and incubated in 5% goat serum in PDT at RT for 2 h. The samples were incubated with the primary antibody solution at 4 °C overnight.

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.
