Figure Lengend Snippet: Detection of GDF9 and BMP15 proteins by immunofluorescence staining and detection of p-CKD1 and CKD1 proteins by Western blot in oocytes. ( A , B ) GDF9 protein expression. ( C , D ) BMP15 protein expression. ( E ) p-CDK1 and CDK1 protein expression. Within the same indicator, bars with different letters indicate a significant difference ( p < 0.05). Results are shown as the average ± SEM of at least three repeats of independent experiments. A total of 30 oocytes were analyzed per group in each replicate.
Article Snippet: Porcine oocytes were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against GDF9 (ab93892; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and BMP15 (PA5-34401; Invitrogen) at 37 °C for 2 h. The samples were washed three times in 2% BSA and then incubated with a goat anti-rabbit fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated secondary antibody (1:200; Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories Inc., West Grove, PA, USA) for 2 h. Oocytes were mounted on glass slides and the images were captured using an epifluorescence microscope (TE2000-S; Nikon).
