- Primary Antibody
- ABIN4889606
- Secondary Antibody
- goat anti-rabbit AF542 conjugated antibody (Life Technologies)
- Full Protocol
- Dissect ovaries of D. melanogaster ETHR-Gal4/UAS-MCD8-GFP expressing GFP in octopaminergic neurons in cold Schneider’s Insect Medium (S2; Sigma Aldrich, S01416).
- Transfer tissue to 2ml protein LoBind tubes (Eppendorf, 022431102) filled with S2 containing 2% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at RT.
- Fix tissue for 55min at RT while nutating.
- Wash tissue 4x 10min with 1.75ml PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100 (PBST).
- Remove PBST and add 200µl 5% goat serum (GS; Thermo Fisher Scientific, 16210064) in PBST per tube.
- Incubate 1.5h at RT on a rotator.
- Remove blocking solution.
- Incubate with primary
- rabbit anti-Tdc2 antibody (Tyrosine Decarboxylase 2) (C-Term) (antibodies-online, ABIN4889606, lot 13B1) diluted 1:200 in blocking solution.
- mouse anti-GFP (Thermo Fisher Scientific) diluted 1:500 in blocking solution.
- Incubate for 4h at RT followed by 36-48h at 4°C on a rotator.
- Rinse tissue with 1.75ml PBST. Allow the tissue to settle to the bottom before removing the liquid.
- Wash tissue 3x 30min with 1.75ml PBST.
- Incubate with secondary 200µl secondary goat anti-rabbit AF542 conjugated antibody (Life Technologies) and goat anti-mouse AF488 conjugated antibody (Life Technologies, A11034) diluted 1:500 in blocking solution containing 0.5mg/ml DAPI.
- Incubate for 4h at RT followed by 72h at 4°C on a rotator.
- Rinse tissue with 1.75ml PBST. Allow the tissue to settle to the bottom before removing the liquid.
- Wash tissue 3x 30min with 1.75ml PBST.
- Add 1.75ml PBST containing 4% PFA at RT.
- Fix tissue for 5h at RT while nutating.
- Rinse tissue with 1.75ml PBST. Allow the tissue to settle to the bottom before removing the liquid.
- Wash tissue 4x 15min with 1.75ml PBST.
- Mount tissue on a poly-L-lysine (Sigma Aldrich, P1524-25MG) coated cover glass.
- Dehydrate tissue by covering the cover glass for 10min each with 30%, 50%, 75%, 95%, 100%, 100%, and 100% EtOH.
- Clearing using by covering the cover glass 3x 5min with xylene.
- Add 7 drops of dibutyl phthalate in xylene (DPX) on top of the mounted tissue.
- Seat cover glass face down gently onto a prepared slide with spacers.
- Let the slide dry for 48h at RT in a hood before viewing.
- Experimental Notes
Staining of ETHR-Gal4/UAS-MCD8-GFP expressing GFP in octopaminergic neurons was performed as previously described.
ABIN4889606 worked fantastically. It labeled octopaminergic neurons specifically and with no background. Pictures are below. The well-characterized neurons labeled with Tdc2-Gal4 of the abdominal nerve to the ovary described in Middleton et al. (2006) overlapped with ABIN4889606. Staining with ABIN4889606 was stronger than Gal4 labeling.
