Cryostat sections were rinsed in PBS at 37°C for 3 min followed by 3 min in cold water. Subsequently the sections were incubated in 20 mM lysine in 0.1 M sodium phosphate (pH 7.4) for 30 min at room temperature before being rinsed in PBS three times for 10 min. The tissue was permeabilized with 0.1% Triton in PBS for 30 min at room temperature and then washed again three times with PBS for 10 min. To prevent unspecific binding of the antibody the tissue was blocked with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) in PBS for 1 h. Goat anti-GFP (1:400; Rockland), rabbit anti-Calbindin D-28K (CB38a; Swant), mouse anti-Pax6 (2 μg/ml; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank) were dissolved in 10% FCS/PBS and incubated overnight at 4°C. After three washes in PBS, 10% FCS in PBS was applied again for 1 h, followed by the incubation with donkey anti-rabbit IgG-Cy3 (1:250; Molecular Probes), donkey anti-goat IgG-Alexa488 (1:250; Molecular Probes/Invitrogen) and goat anti-mouse IgG-Cy3 (1:250; Jackson ImmunoResearch) dissolved in 10% FCS in PBS for 90 min at room temperature. The tissue was rinsed 5 times in PBS for 12 min and then mounted in Celvol (Celanese). The staining of cryostat sections was analyzed with an upright microscope equipped with fluorescence optics (Olympus BX51).

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.
