Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 6. Arl13b labeling in mouse islet cilia. (A–C) Clean Arl13b immunolabeling is achieved using a monoclonal primary antibody (NeuroMab N295B/66, mouse IgG2a, 1:100). (A) Whole cilium. Taken at magnification 32,500×. Scale bar: 1 μm. (B,C) Distal cilium and tip. Taken at magnification 75,000×. Scale bar: 500 nm. (D,E) Another Arl13b antibody (Proteintech 17711-1-AP, rabbit polyclonal, 1:100) produced heavy background labeling on the islet surface, making it difficult to interpret ciliary signals. (D) Whole cilium. Taken at magnification 35,000×. Scale bar: 500 nm. (E) Cilia base. Taken at magnification 100,000×. Scale bar: 200 nm. Images are representative of >20 cilia per Arl13b antibody staining.
