All antibodies listed are compatible with the methanol protocol.

APP- abcam ab32136
1:250 for E14 embryos.

Aquaporin2- Santa Cruz sc-9882
1:20 for adult mouse kidney.

Arc- Synaptic Systems 156003
1:500 to 1:1000 for adult mouse brain.

beta-Catenin- Abcam ab6302
1:50 for adult mouse kidney.

beta-Galatosidase- Abcam ab9361
1:200 for E14.5 mouse embryos.

cFos- Santa Cruz sc-52
1:200 for adult mouse brain and spinal cord.

Cleaved Caspase 3- Cell Signaling 9661
1:500 for E10.5 to E16.5 mouse embryos and adult mouse brain.

Cux1 (CDP)- Santa Cruz sc-13024 (contributed by Sean Hsiang-Chih, Huda Zoghbi Lab)
1:200 adult mouse brain

E-Cadherin- Cell Signaling 3195
1:20 for adult mouse stomach and kidney.

Egr-1- Santa Cruz sc-110
1:200 in mouse adult brain

FoxP2- Abcam ab16046
1:500 for adult mouse brains and E13 mouse embryos.

GFP- Aves GFP-1020
E14 embryos, adult mouse brains. Dilution varies by GFP expression level. 1:2000 for sparse AAV-GFP injections.
Note:  we recommend this antibody but Abcam ab290 and Invitrogen A11122 also provide decent results. The Abcam rabbit anti-GFP can be used at higher concentration (up to 1:200) if the coverage of the Aves antibody is not sufficient.

Iba1- Wako 019-19741
Adult mouse brain, 1:200.

Laminin- Sigma L9393
1:50 for adult mouse muscle and kidney

Mash1- BD Biosciences 556604  (contributed by Eduardo Arteaga)
1:100 on mouse E12 embryos

N-Cadherin- Abcam ab12221
1:50 for adult mouse heart.

Nephrin- R&D AF3159
1:400 for adult mouse kidney

Neurofilament-M- Covance PRB-575C (now Biolegend 841001)
1:200 for E12.5 to E16.5 mouse embryos

Parvalbumin- Swant PV 25 (now PV27)
1:1000 for E12.5 and E14.5 embryos.
1:100 for adult mouse brains (only small blocs, about 2 mm on each side, limited diffusion otherwise).

1:500 for E11.5 and E12.5 embryos.

Sox2- Cell Signaling 2748
1:500 adult mouse brain
1:1000 mouse E12 embryos (contributed by Eduardo Arteaga)
