Article Snippet: Samples were incubated with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight, followed by incubation with appropriate fluorescent secondary antibodies and DAPI at room temperature for 1 h. The following primary and secondary antibodies were used: anti-MyoG (DSHB, cat#F5D), MF20 (DSHB, cat#MF-20), FLAG (Sigma-Aldrich, cat#F1804), Alexa 568 goat anti-mouse IgG1 (Invitrogen, cat#A-21124), and Alexa 647 goat anti-mouse IgG2b (Invitrogen, cat#A-21242).
