Fixing Cells:

  • thaw 6% PFA in 37 C waterbath , place on ice
  • put 5 ml PBS + 5 ml 6% PFA in tray “PFA” , mix well
  • put 0.01% BSA/PBS into tray “BSA”
  • put MEOH into tray “MEOH”
  • put 50 ul of 3% PFA in two columns ( use a autoclavable 5 – 50 ul )
  • wait 15 sec. , than aspirate off the liquid
  • wash 2 x with 0.01% BSA/PBS ( use the manifold I for “in”)
  • put 75 ul MEOH in each column
  • repeat steps 5-9
  • when finish with entire plate , wait 5 minutes


Staining for BrDU and Myosin:

  • aspirate off the MEOH of plate
  • add 75 ul 2N HCL to each well ( use the autoclavable 50-300 ul)
  • wait 12 minutes
  • aspirate off the HCL
  • wash 4x with TBS –Tween ( use the vacum pette –7.5 ml )
  • mix 8 ul Mouse anti BrDU (BU) antibody + 3.5 mls TBS +10% GS in tray “BSA” , the concentration is 1:500
  • aspirate off the TBS -Tween
  • put 30 ul into each well , wrap plate in parafilm and put at 4 C overnight
  • wash 4x with TBS-Tween ( 2x then wait 2 min. ,then wash 1x, then wait 3 min. , then wash)
  • mix 35 ul DAKO Rhodamine rabbit anti mouse + 3.5 mls TBS-Tween +10% GS in tray “BSA” concentration is 1:100
  • aspirate off the TBS-Tween
  • put 30 ul into each well
  • wait 20 minutes
  • rinse 4x with TBS-Tween
  • mix 35 ul Rhodamine from swine anti rabbit + 3.5 mls TBS+10% GS in tray”BSA” ( wash tray when finished)
  • aspirate off the TBS-Tween
  • put 30 ul into each well from Rhodamine ( swine anti rabbit)
  • wait 20 minutes

  • wait 30 minutes
  • wash 4x with TBS-Tween
  • mix 35 ul of FITC swine anti rabbit + 3.5 mls TBS-Tween+10%GS in tray “BSA” , the concentration is 1:100
  • wait 30 minutes
  • wash 4x with TBS-Tween
  • mix 3.5 ml TBS-Tween + 7 ul Hoechst
  • aspirate off the liquid
  • put 30 ul into ach well
  • wait 5 minutes
  • wash 3x with TBS-Tween
  • aspirate off the liquid
  • add 75 ul MEOH per well
  • wrap plate with parafilm and store at 4 C
