Whole-Mount Immunohistochemistry for Anti-F59 in Zebrafish Embryos (1-5 Days Post Fertilization (dpf))

Methods Mol Biol. 2016:1377:365-9. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-3179-8_32.

Abstract

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a powerful method to determine localization of tissue components by the interaction of target antigens with labeled antibodies. Here we describe an IHC protocol for localizing the myosin heavy chain of zebrafish embryos at 1-2 and 3-5 days post fertilization (dpf).

Keywords: F59; Immunohistochemistry; Myosin heavy chain; Zebrafish.
