(P): polyclonal antibody, (M): monoclonal antibody #1: Goat anti-Armenian hamster-Cy3 (Jackson ImmunoResearch 127-165-160) antibody should be used as a secondary antibody. #2: The Collagen IV antibody can be used to detect blood vessels after in situ hybridization. #3: The Neuropilin1 antibody is kindly provided by the Alex Kolodkin’s lab in the Johns Hopkins University. Sheep anti-human Neuropilin1 antibody is available in R&D (AF3870), although we have not tested it yet. #4: The LYVE-1 antibodies also detect a subset of macrophages in the embryonic skin. #5: The anti-αSMA antibody is mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody. #6: The Cy3-conjugated αSMA antibody is incubated for 1 hour at room temperature together with secondary antibodies for other primary antibodies. #7: 2H3 antibody is mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody against neurofilament. #8: Tuj1 antibody is mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody against Neuron-specific class III beta-tubulin. #9: The BFABP (brain-specific fatty acid binding protein) antibody is kindly provided by the Thomas Müller’s lab in Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine. |
