Localization of plant clathrin using immunocytochemistry and Agrisera directly labelled anti-clathrin 1,2 antibodies

Material: Zea mays hybrid variety

Preparation
5 days-old germinating maize root tips were cut and fixed with 4% formaldehyde, 60 min, RT. Cell walls were digested with enzymes cellulase and pectinase in MES buffer for 90 min, RT. After washing with PBS, roots were squashed gently using a flat tip forceps to release the cells into PBS buffer. Cells were allowed to settle O/N at 4°C, followed by immunolocalization.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
Cells were permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100, 10 min, RT, followed by washing with PBS buffer before blocking with 5% fish gelatin-PBS, 30 min, RT.

Detection antibody: Cells were incubated with rabbit anti-clathrin 1,2 primary antibodies conjugated with DyLight®594 (AS10 690-DL594, Agrisera) for 3h/RT. Nuclei were stained with DAPI followed Fluoromount-G mounting (Southern Biotech).
