Abstrakt: Whole-mount immunofluorescence allows direct visualization of the cellular architecture within cells. Here, we apply this technique to mouse oocytes to visualize spindle morphology and microtubule attachments to kinetochores, using a technique we call "cold treatment," at various phases of the meiotic cell cycle. This method allows the analysis of spindle structures at different meiosis I stages and at metaphase II. An adaptation of the protocol to the cell cycle stage of interest is described.
