To mark PCs, brain sections were incubated with a rabbit anti-calbindin D28K antibody (1:1000, PA1-931, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA) at 4 °C for 24–48 h. After being washed in PBS, sections were incubated with a goat anti-rabbit Cy5 (1:500, A10523, Invitrogen) at room temperature for 3 h. After another rinse with PBS, sections were mounted on slides and cover-slipped with a mounting medium (H-1500, Vector Labs). To identify subtypes of c-Fos positive neurons following the social recognition test, sections were incubated with primary antibodies of guinea pig anti-c-Fos (1:1000, 226308, Synaptic Systems, Gottingen, Germany), rabbit anti-CaMKII (1:200, PA5-99558, Invitrogen) and mouse anti-GAD67 (1:500, MAB5406, Millipore, Burlington, MA) at 4 °C for 24–48 h. After being washed in PBS, sections were incubated with secondary antibodies of goat anti-guinea pig Alexa 488 (1:1000, A11073, Invitrogen), goat anti-rabbit Alexa 555 (1:1000, A21428, Invitrogen) and goat anti-mouse Alexa 647 (1:1000, A21236, Invitrogen) at room temperature for 3 h. After another rinse with PBS, sections were mounted on slides and cover-slipped with a mounting medium (H-1500, Vector Labs).

To examine changes in kisspeptin and glutamatergic inputs to GnRH neurones across the oestrous cycle, POA and MBH tissue sections of luteal (n=4) and surge (n=4) animals were processed for triple-label immunodetection of kisspeptin, vGlut2 and GnRH, using the same protocol as above. Kisspeptin was visualised using TSA and CY5-steptavidin. GnRH neurones were detected using monoclonal mouse anti-GnRH (1:400; SMI41R, Sternberger Monoclonals, Inc., Princeton, NJ), and Alexa 488-goat anti-mouse IgG (1:100; A11001, Invitrogen). vGlut2 was visualised using Alexa555-goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:100; A21428, Invitrogen).

Murine ESCs were plated onto glass coverslips in preparation for immunostaining. After 24 hours, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS, washed 3 times with PBS, and then permeabilized with 0.5% triton-X100 in PBS for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were then washed 3 times with PBS, blocked for 1 hour in 4% IgG-free BSA (Jackson ImmunoResearch 001-000-162) in PBS, and then stained over night with the indicated antibody in 4% IgG-free BSA at room temperature in a humidified chamber. Cells were then washed 3 times with PBS. Secondary antibodies were added to cells in 4% IgG-free BSA and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then washed twice in PBS. Cells were stained with Hoechst dye (Molecular Probes H3570) in PBS or water for 5 minutes, and then mounted in Vectashield mounting media (Vector Laboratories H-1000). Imaging was performed on an RPI spinning disk confocal at 100X magnification using the MetaMorph software v. 7.10.3.279 (Molecular Devices). Primary antibodies: anti-MAP2 (Invitrogen MA5-12823) and anti-MED1 (Abcam ab64965). Secondary antibodies: anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 568 (Invitrogen A11031) and antirabbit Alexa Fluor 555 (Invitrogen A21428).

6mA Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell fixation and immuofluoresence (IF) staining were performed as described previously (6 (link),39 (link),40 (link)). Cells were fixed during vegetative growth or at 10 h after mixing cells of two mating types, as indicated. For the 6mA staining, fixed cells were treated with RNase A (50 μg/ml or otherwise indicated) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer for 2 h at 37°C. Non-treated cells were either incubated at 37°C or at room temperature (RT), as indicated. Cells were then incubated with 2N HCl for 20 min at RT and neutralized with Tris–HCl (100 mM, pH 8.5) for 10 min, prior to antibody incubation. The primary antibodies are α-6mA (Synaptic Systems, 202003, 1:2000) (5 (link),6 (link),10 (link)), α-HA (Cell Signaling, C29F4, 1:200), α-H3K9-acetylation (Abcam, ab10812, 1:500) and α-H3K14-acetylation (Abcam, ab52946, 1:500). The primary antibodies are incubated with cells at 4°C overnight (for α-6mA) or at RT for 2 h (for other antibodies). Cells were then incubated in the secondary antibody (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L), Invitrogen, A-21428, 1:4000) at RT for 1 h. Digital images were collected using a Leica DM2500 microscope with a Leica DFC450C camera.

Fluorescent Polystyrene Nanoparticles for FRET Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 40 nm-fluorescent carboxylated polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles (F-8789; ex: 660 nm/em: 680 nm) were purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA). In our case, the fluorescence of the particles did not play a role in the FRET assay as discussed later; these particular particles were simply a suitable size and readily available. Goat-anti-Rabbit IgG-Alexa 555 (the donor molecule with excitation: 555 nm and emission : 565 nm; A21428) was purchased from Invitrogen. Rabbit IgG-Alexa 647 (the acceptor molecule with excitation: 650 nm and emission: 668 nm; SC-24647) was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). 3-PBA hapten was synthesized. The detailed method was described previously [18 (link)]. Alexa 647 was conjugated to 3-PBA hapten by using a commercial protein labeling kit (A-20173, Invitrogen).

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.
