MDCK cells were seeded at 5 x 105 cells per well in a six-well plate. The next day, the cells were infected with a ten-fold dilution series of the virus in serum-free medium, in a total volume of 1 ml. The inoculum was removed after 1 h of incubation at 37°C and replaced by an overlay of 0.6% Avicel RC-591 (FMC Biopolymer) in serum-free medium containing 2 μg/ml TPCK-treated trypsin (Sigma). After three days of incubation at 37°C, the overlay was removed and the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100. The cells were stained with an anti-M2e mouse monoclonal antibody and the plaques were visualized with TrueBlue peroxidase substrate (KPL). For the determination of the percentage of GFP-positive cells, the plaques were first detected with an anti-GFP antibody (A21311; Molecular probes) and subsequently with a monoclonal anti-M2e antibody or a polyclonal anti-influenza A serum.

Larvae were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 25 min to overnight depending on the stage. Immunodetection for slow myosin heavy chain (MyHC) (1:5, F59; Devoto et al., 1996 (link)), general MyHC (1:10, A4.1025; Blagden et al., 1997 (link)), Pax7 (1:5; DSHB; Kawakami et al., 1997 (link)), Myogenin (1:50, sc-576, Santa Cruz) and GFP (1:500, TP-401, Torrey Pines or 1:500, G1546, Sigma) was performed in PBS with 0.5-1% Triton X-100 (PBT) for between overnight and 5 days at 4°C on a rotary shaker, depending on larval age and antigen (Hinits and Hughes, 2007 (link)) followed by Alexa Fluor 488 or 555 secondary antibodies (1:1000; A21121 and A21428, respectively; Invitrogen). at least overnight (±Hoechst 33342) at 4°C. After EdU detection in Fig. S4, samples were blocked in 5% BSA, 3% normal goat serum, PBT for 20 min, incubated using Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-GFP (1:500, A-21311, Molecular Probes) and Hoechst in block buffer (shaking at 4°C for 3-6 h), followed by 6×15 min washes in PBT. Phalloidin-Alexa Fluor 555 or phalloidin-Alexa Fluor 633 (1:1000, A34055 or A22284, Thermo Fisher) were used to-stain F-actin. Larvae were mounted on glass slides under bridged coverslips in Citifluor AF1 or Vectashield (H-1000, Vector Laboratories). In situ mRNA hybridisation was as described (Groves et al., 2005 (link)).

Neurons were replated on 50-μm grids patterned on the bottom of 35-mm MatTek dishes (MatTek CatP35G-0-14-C) previously coated with 100 μg/ml PLO and 5 μg/ml laminin. Immediately after live imaging, cells were fixed in situ with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA, Core Bio Services) for 30 min at room temperature. The cells were then washed three times in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS for 15 min and blocked with 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Gemini Bio-products) in PBS for 2 h at room temperature. Primary antibodies (chicken anti-MAP2, Abcam ab5392, 1:500; rabbit anti-GFP, Molecular Probes A-21311, 1:1,000) were diluted in blocking buffer (2% BSA in PBS). Cells were incubated with the primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The following day cells were washed three times in PBS, and incubated with the secondary antibodies coupled to Alexa Fluor 488, 555, and 647 (Life Technologies, 1:1,000 in blocking buffer) for 1 h at room temperature. Cells were then washed three times in PBS to remove the secondary antibodies, and DAPI (1:10,000 in PBS) was added for 30 min at room temperature to counterstain cell nuclei. Cells were then washed again three times in PBS. Finally, the PBS was aspirated, and the cells were submerged in a drop of ProLong Gold anti-fade mountant (Life Technologies) and covered with a glass coverslip for subsequent analysis.

Marmosets were deeply anesthetized and perfused intracardially with 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate buffer. The brain was post-fixed and then cryoprotected with 30% sucrose at 4°C. Coronal sections of 40-µm-thickness encompassing the regions of interest were prepared from each hemisphere. For immunofluorescence, free-floating sections were blocked with blocking solution (10% normal donkey serum and 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS, pH 7.4) for 1 h at room temperature, followed by overnight incubation with anti-neuronal nuclear protein (NeuN) antibody (1:1000; MAB377, EMD Millipore) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) anti-body (1:1000; G3893, Sigma-Aldrich). The primary antibody was detected using donkey anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor® 546 (1:1000; A10036, Life Technologies) in combination with rabbit anti-green fluorescence protein (GFP) antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor® 488 (1:1000; A21311, Life Technologies) for 2 h at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with 4′,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; D9542, Sigma-Aldrich). Sections were visualized using a confocal microscope (LSM 780, Carl Zeiss).

Immunolabeling of EGFP-Expressing Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two primary antibodies were used to detect EGFP either to intensify the native fluorescent signal or to visualize the expression by diaminobenzadine (DAB) staining. These antibodies are listed in Table 2. Secondary antibodies are listed in Table 3. Two anti-GFP antibodies were used in this study. The first, A-21311 (Life Technologies, RRID:AB_10058149), is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against Aequorea victoria GFP, and is conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488. In this study, however, this antibody was used only for DAB staining by way of a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody. The second anti-GFP antibody used in this study, (Life Technologies Cat#A-11122, RRID:AB_10073917), is also a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against A. victoria GFP, and was used for immunofluorescence by way of fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies. No differences in the pattern of expression were noted between the two anti-GFP antibodies used in this study. Neither anti-GFP antibody used in the study reacted with tissue from wild type littermates (data not shown). One antibody, NeuN (Millipore Cat#MAB377B, RRID:AB_177621), was used to identify neuroanatomical structures in the brain. This antibody has been used extensively as an anatomical marker of most neuronal cell types, with 124 citations listed in the most recent Journal of Comparative Neurology Antibody Database (V14; RRID:nlx_143660).

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.
