Immunofluorescence staining is a widely used technique to visualize the localization of specific proteins in cells. This protocol provides an affordable and simple method for immunofluorescence staining of the Insulin-GLase (iGL) cell line in both 2D and 3D culture conditions. We describe cost-effective alternatives for reagents and materials without compromising the quality of the results, such as the use of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) 3% as a blocking buffer instead of normal serum. Immunofluorescence staining on the iGL cell line is a valuable technique for visualizing the distribution and localization of target biomolecules. With careful consideration of cost-effective strategies and an understanding of the unique characteristics of the iGL cell line, it is possible to achieve reliable and informative immunofluorescence results even with budget constraints.
