Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-mount immunofluorescence of β-catenin was carried out based on the standard protocol using mouse anti–β-catenin antibody (C7267, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, Missouri, 1:500 dilution). Different stages of embryos were fixed overnight with 4% PFA in PBS at 4 °C, washed with PBST (0.1% Triton X-100 added), and permeabilized with distilled water for 1 hour. The FITC conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody (F2761, Thermo, Waltham, Massachusetts, 1:500) was used as secondary antibody. After 4 times of washing in PBST with 0.1% Triton X-100, embryos were incubated in DAPI solution (5 μg/mL in PBST) for 1 hour at room temperature. Then, embryos were washed and mounted at animal view for observation. Immunostained embryos were scanned at Z-stack using a Leica SP8 confocal microscope as described previously [95 (link)].
For Nanog immunostaining, rabbit anti-Nanog polyclonal antibody was customized by ABclone (Wuhan, China) using a recombinant Nanog protein (1:200 dilution). Embryos were fixed overnight with 4% PFA in PBS at 4 °C and transferred into 30% sucrose/PBS, incubated at 4 °C for 1 day, mounted in mounting medium (4583, Tissue-Tek OCT Compound, Sakura, Torrance, California), and then cryosectioned. Cryosections of 10-μm thickness were used for immunostaining. Signals were photographed using a Leica SP8 confocal microscope as described previously [96 (link)].

Five thousand cells per well were seeded on to coverslips, washed in 100% ethanol and placed in 24-well plates. The cells were incubated until they achieved 50–60% confluency. The medium was removed, and the cells were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 min. PFA was removed and the cells were washed with wash buffer, tris buffered saline (TBS), and blocked with 1% BSA to prevent non-specific protein binding. The blocking buffer was removed and the cells were washed with TBS. Primary antibodies survivin (sc-17779), SOX2 (Invitrogen-MA1-014) and Nestin (Invitrogen-MA1-110) were added to the cells and were incubated overnight at 4 °C. Staining was visualized with mouse IgGκ conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), Goat Anti-Mouse IgG(H + L) cross-adsorbed secondary antibody ((Invitrogen -F2761) and (Invitrogen- P-852) and counterstained with DAPI. The specimens were mounted on microscope slides and visualized. Fluorescence observation and photo-documentation were obtained using an inverted fluorescent microscope [62 (link)].

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.
