Western blots were done in accordance with previously published protocol [15 (link)]. The primary antibody used was anti-S opsin (1:1000, Cat# ABN1660, EMD Millipore). The secondary antibody used was anti-rabbit FIRP (1:1000, Cat# 7074S, Cell Signaling). The membranes were visualized with SuperSignal West Duration Extended Duration Substrate (Cat# 3407S, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and imaged using ChemiDoc XRS Molecular Imager (BIO-RAD). The protein bands were quantified using Image Lab Software (BIO-RAD).

Retinal sections and retinal flat mounts were subject to immunohistochemistry in accordance with previously published protocols [15 (link), 16 (link)]. The sections were stained with the primary antibodies, anti-Rhodopsin (1:500, Cat# MA1-722, ThermoFischer Scientific, anti-S opsin (1:250, Cat# ABN1660, EMD Millipore), and anti-cone arrestin (1:250, Cat# 15282, EMD Millipore). The secondary antibody used was donkey anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 555 (1:300, Cat# A32794, Invitrogen). For S opsin expressing cone counting in retinal flat mounts, S cone numbers were counted in the entire 40X visual field in 3 independent areas on the inferior (ventral) retina and averaged to get the S cone number/retina. For cone arrestin counting in retinal flat mounts, cone arrestin numbers were counted in the entire 40X visual field in the superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal regions of the retina using the fluorescent microscope Zeiss Axioskop 2.

Cross-sections of the retina or brain and whole-mount retinas for immunohistochemical analysis were firstly washed several times with PBS, and then blocked in PBS containing 5% goat serum and 1% Triton x-100 for 1h at room temperature. The blocked tissues were incubated with the following primary antibodies overnight at 4°C: anti-β-amyloid, clone 6E10 (1:500; BioLegend), anti-β-amyloid, clone 4G8 (1:500; BioLegend), anti-rhodopsin, clone 1D4 (1:1000; Santa Cruz), anti-M-opsin (1:500; Millipore), anti-S-opsin (1:500; Millipore), anti-PKCα (1:200; Abcam), anti-PKCα (1:100; Invitrogen), anti-CtBP2 (1:200; BD), anti-PSD95 (1:100; CST), anti-ZO-1 (1:100; Invitrogen), anti-RPE65 (1:200; Novus), anti-p16ink4α (1:100; Proteintech), anti-p21 (1:100; Santa Cruz), anti-cleaved caspase3 (1:100; CST), anti-RIPK3 (1:100; Santa Cruz), anti-pRIPK3 (1:400; CST) and anti-pMLKL (1:100; Abcam). AlexFluro-488 or -555 conjugated secondary antibody (1:500; CST) incubation were performed for 2.5 h at room temperature. Thereafter, DAPI (1:1000, Invitrogen) were used to label the nuclear for 10 min at room temperature.

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.
