Immunostaining of Drosophila testes

Cold Spring Harb Protoc. 2011 Oct 1;2011(10):1273-5. doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot065771.

Abstract

Fixed Drosophila testis preparations can be immunostained with a variety of antibodies. This article describes a general procedure for immunostaining. The concentration of the primary antibody will vary with both the type of antibody and the type of incubation and should be determined empirically each time.
