Progression to metaphase II (MII) was completed as described previously [17 (link),18 (link)]. At 16 or 22 h after beginning IVM, oocytes were denuded by vortexing then fixed in 4% [w/v] paraformaldehyde in Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS) for 15 min at room temperature. Oocytes were permeabilized with 1% [v/v] Triton X-100 in DPBS for 1 h at room temperature and blocked in 10% [v/v] donkey serum for 1 h at room temperature. Oocytes were incubated with a mix of 5 µg/mL mouse-ɑ-tubulin antibody and 5 µg/mL mouse anti-β-tubulin antibody (Sigma-Aldrich) either at room temperature for 1 h or overnight at 4 °C, then they were rinsed and incubated in Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse (3.3 µg/mL) at room temperature for 1 h, and finally in 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (1 µg/mL) for 5 min at room temperature. Oocytes were placed into imaging droplets (DPBS containing 0.1% [w/v] Polyvinylpyrrolidone [PVP]) and imaged using an ECHO Revolve Epifluorescence Microscope with associated software (version R4) that includes the Z-stack software module (ECHO, San Diego, CA, USA).

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.
