Immunofluorescence analysis of MAT2A protein in bovine oocytes and preimplantation embryos. Confocal images that transverse at least one nucleus or pronucleus are shown. (A) Immature oocyte, (B) mature oocyte, (C) 1-cell, (D) 2-cell, (E) 8-cell, (F) morula, (G) blastocyst, (H) hatched blastocyst, and (I) negative control in which the primary antibody was omitted from the immunofluorescence of a hatched blastocyst sample. Scale bars represent 50 µm. (A’I’) Nuclear counterstaining with propidium iodide. (J) and (K) Immunoblotting of 1-cell embryo (n = 120) and blastocyst (n = 120) lysates using the monoclonal MAT2A antibody used in the immunofluorescence and ChIP-seq analyses. Hep G2 Cell Lysate (50 µg protein) was used as a positive control.
