Immunofluorescence staining was performed as described [33 (link), 83 (link), 84 (link)]. Briefly, exponentially growing cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 min, washed with PBS and permeabilized with 1% NP-40 for 10min at room temperature. After being blocked with 10% donkey serum (Jackson Immuno-Research Laboratories, West Grove, PA) for 1h at room temperature, cells were incubated with various primary antibodies, including CD29, CD73, BMPRII, CD90, CD117/c-kit, CD105/endoglin, or BMPR-II antibody (all from Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 1h at room temperature. Cells were washed with PBS and incubated with FITC-labeled secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) for 30 min. DAPI (Invitrogen) was used to visualize nuclei. Stains were examined under a fluorescence microscope. Negative control cells were performed under the same conditions without primary antibodies. Representative images from at least three independent staining experiments are shown.

Ovaries derived from gilts at age of 30–400 days were fixed in 10% (w/v) paraformaldehyde with 0.02 MPBS (pH 7.2) at 4°C for about 2 h. Next, they were cut into vertical slices of about 0.5 cm thickness and fixed in fresh 10% (w/v) paraformaldehyde for a cumulative period of 24 h. These slices were mounted in paraffin, and serially cut into 5 μm-thick sections by Rotary Microtome (MICROM, Germany), and stained with HE. Ovarian HE sections were observed and photographed under a fluorescent microscope (Zeiss, Germany).
Immunohistochemistry detection was performed by using the anti-Rabbit HRP-DAB Cell and tissue staining kit (R&D, CTS005) and anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell and tissue staining kit (R&D, CTS008). Immunohistofluorescence examination was performed by using TSA plus Fluorescein (PerkinElmer, NEL741001KT) and Cyanine3.5 (PerkinElmer, NEL763001KT) kit. Antibodies of BMP15 (Eterlife, EL806306-100), GDF9 (Eterlife, EL901942-100), FSHR (Eterlife, EL912710), luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) (Eterlife, EL904141), Caspase3 (Abcam, ab13847), 3βHSD (Abcam, ab154385), p-Smad1/5 (CST, 9516), Ki67 (Abcam, ab15580) and LC3B (Arigo, ARG55799) were diluted 1:100 with PBS. Other antibodies including ALK6 (Santa Cruz, sc5679), BMPR2 (Santa Cruz, sc5683), Smad2/3 (Santa Cruz, sc8332), Smad1/5/8 (Santa Cruz, sc6031R), and p-Smad2/3 (Santa Cruz, sc11769) were diluted 1:50 in PBS.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The expression of BMP4 and its receptors as well as germ cell-specific markers in EB cells was obtained by immunocytochemistry according to the procedure described previously (Liu et al. 2015) (link). Briefly, iPS cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and permeabilized with 0.4% Triton X-100. The cells were blocked with 10% serum and incubated with primary antibodies against BMP4 (Abcam), BMPR1A (Santa Cruz), BMPR1B (Santa Cruz), BMPR2 (Santa Cruz), PRDM1 (Abnova, Taipei, Taiwan) and VASA (Abcam) overnight at 4°C. The detailed information on antibodies was shown in Table 3. The cells were then incubated by goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 594 (red)-labeled secondary antibody (Invitrogen) for 1 h. DAPI was used to label cell nuclei, and images were captured with a fluorescence microscope (Leica).

Immunofluorescence staining was performed 43, 51. Briefly, cells were seeded in 24‐well plates overnight, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 1% NP‐40 and blocked with 10% donkey serum (Jackson Immuno‐Research Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA), followed by incubating with CD73, CD105/endoglin, CD90/Thy‐1, CD166/ALCAM, BMPR‐II, CD117/c‐kit or CD29/Integrin β1 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) for 1 hr at room temperature, as previously reported 43, 56. After being washed, cells were incubated with Texas Red or FITC labelled secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) for 30 min. Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Stains without primary antibodies were used as negative controls. Fluorescence images were recorded under an inverted fluorescence microscope.

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.
