Purified Tsf1 (0.3 mg) was sent to Cocalico Biologicals for the production of polyclonal antiserum in a guinea pig. We used commercially available rabbit antiserum against D. melanogaster Rab5 (Abcam #ab31261). This antiserum has been used by others to identify endosomes in neural tissue, wing discs, eye discs, and other tissues (Fan et al., 2013 (link); Yuva-Aydemir et al., 2011 (link); Zschätzsch et al., 2014 (link)). A mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes D. melanogaster β-tubulin (Hybridoma Product E7) was purchased from the Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank at the University of Iowa. E7 was developed by M. McCutcheon and S. Carroll and was deposited by M. Klymkowsky. A mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was purchased from Thermo Fisher (#MA5-15738).

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.
