Thecal layers of F1 follicles were isolated and washed in PBS. Briefly, the superficial tissues were removed, followed by cutting the stigma to release the yolk and granulosa layer. The obtained thecal layer was separated into two pieces by cutting vertically, i.e., from the basal (where the stalk was located) to the apical stigma region. Total RNA was extracted from half of each theca using Sepasol RNA I Super (Nacalai Tesque Inc., Kyoto, Japan) and a Polytron™ homogenizer (Polytron™ PT1200ci Kinematica AG, Luzern, Switzerland). The RNA samples were then dissolved in TE buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 8.0, with 1 mM EDTA). The concentration of RNA in each sample was measured using Gene Quant™ Pro (Amersham PharmaciaBiotech, Cambridge, UK). The RNA samples were mixed with RQ1 RNase-free DNase (Promega Co., Madison, WI, USA) and incubated in a PTC-100 programmable thermal controller (MJ Research, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) at 37°C for 45 min. The RNA samples were then reverse-transcribed using ReverTra Ace® (Toyobo Co., Ltd, Osaka, Japan) at 42°C for 30 min, followed by heat inactivation at 99°C for 5 min on the PTC-100 programmable thermal controller (MJ Research, Inc.).

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.
