Cellular immunofluorescence procedure - indirect method

 

A. Required solutions and reagents

 

    1. Phosphate buffer : 0.1M1XPBS (pH 7.4)

 

    2. Fixing solution: 4% paraformaldehyde solution (no methanol) 

 

    3. Antibody dilution : 1% BSA, 0.03% Proclin 300 in 0.1 M PBS

 

    4.0.3% cell penetrating agent : 0.3% TritonX-100

 

    5. Closed normal goat serum (stock solution) 

 

    6.DAPI dyeing solution 

 

B. Steps

 

    1. Discard the cell culture medium and wash 3 times with PBS for 5 min/time.

 

    2. Fixation: 4% paraformaldehyde is fixed at room temperature for 20 min, or fixed at 4 ° C overnight.

 

    3. Wash PBS 3 times, 5 min / time.

 

    4. Permeation: 0.3% TritonX-100  at room temperature for 20 min  (if the detected protein is fine Membrane protein, this step can be omitted).

 

    5. Wash PBS 3 times, 5 min / time.

 

    6. Blocking: 1:20 diluted goat serum (secondary source-derived serum) was   blocked at room temperature for 20 min.

 

    7. Wash PBS 3 times, 3 min / time.

 

    8. Primary antibody 1:200 dilution, 1.5h at 37 °C (incubation of antibody   concentration, action time through pre-experiment set).

 

    9. Wash PBS 3 times, 10 min / time.

 

    10. Secondary antibody 1:300 dilution, 1 h at 37 °C (incubation of antibody concentration, action time by pre-experiment Fixed).

 

    11. Wash PBS 3 times, 10 min / time.

 

    12. DAPI counterstained nuclei, diluted 1:1000, and allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 min.

 

    13. Wash PBS 3 times, 5 min / time.

 

    14. Remove the cell slides and place them on a glass slide and observe under the microscope.
