Immunofluorescence protocol
Care should be taken so that the incubation solutions do not evaporate. It is recommended that incubations be performed in a humidified chamber to prevent evaporation. Washing steps should be done in large volumes of phosphate buffered saline (PBS).
1. Warm slides to room temperature.
2. Re-hydrate with PBS for 10-15 min.
3. Remove PBS and incubate in blocking buffer (PBS containing 3% normal donkey serum, 1% bovine serum albumin, 0.3% Triton™ X-100 detergent, and 0.01% NaN₃, pH 7.45) for 1 h at room temperature.
4. Dilute primary antibody in blocking buffer. Store diluted antibody at 4°C until use.
5. Remove blocking buffer and add diluted primary antibody.
6. Incubate with primary antibody at 4°C for 18-48 h.
7. Remove primary antibody and wash three times for 10 min with PBS.
8. Dilute secondary antibody in blocking buffer to appropriate dilution (follow manufacture′s recommendation). Store at 4°C until use.
9. Incubate slides in diluted secondary antibody solution for one hour at room temperature.
10. Remove secondary antibody and wash three times for 10 min with PBS.
11. Coverslip slides with appropriate mounting media.
