Guinea pig anti pv

Manufactured by Synaptic Systems
Sourced in United States

Guinea pig anti-PV is a laboratory reagent used in research applications. It is an antibody raised in guinea pigs that specifically binds to the PV (parvalbumin) protein. The core function of this product is to facilitate the detection and study of the PV protein in biological samples.

Immunohistochemical Profiling of Fear-Conditioned Neurons

Brains from fear conditioned animals were cut into 60 μm-thick coronal sections. Sections were stained with the following primary antibodies: guinea pig anti-PV (1:2000, Synaptic Systems) and rabbit anti-c-Fos antibodies (1:500, Abcam).
Recorded interneurons were stained with Cy3-conjugated (Life Technologies) or Alexa488-conjugated (Invitrogen) streptavidin (1:1000-3000). Somatic immunoreactivity was assessed using guinea pig anti-PV (1:2000, Synaptic Systems) or goat anti-PV (1:500, Abcam) primary antibodies. Immunoreactivity of the recorded neurons was visualized using an epifluorescence microscope (AxioImager M2, Zeiss) or a laser-scanning confocal microscope (LSM 710, Zeiss). For a detailed description of immunohistochemical procedures see Supplementary materials and methods.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Inhibitory Interneuron Subpopulations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Some slices prepared from AAV-injected VIP-IRES-cre::GAD65-EGFP mice were fixed in 4% PFA in 0.1 m PB and after overnight incubation were resectioned at a 40 μm thickness. Different sections were processed for single immunostaining with rabbit anti-pro-CCK (Frontiers Institute; 1:1000), guinea pig anti-NPY (Synaptic Systems; 1:1000), or rabbit anti-CaMKII (Abcam; 1:250). Visualization was performed with Cy5-conjugated secondary antibodies. In addition, double immunostaining was obtained using a mixture of rat anti-SOM (Millipore; 1:500) and guinea pig anti-PV (Synaptic Systems; 1:1000) antibodies or a mixture of rabbit anti-VIP (Immunostar; 1:4000) and guinea pig anti-CR (Synaptic Systems; 1:1000) antibodies. Here, DyL405-conjugated and Cy5-conjugated appropriate secondary antibodies were used to visualize the antigen–antibody complexes. Confocal images were obtained with a Nikon C2 confocal microscope (Plan Apo VC 20× objective; numerical aperture, 0.75; z-step size, 2 μm; xy, 0.62 μm/pixel) and the analysis was conducted using Neurolucida Explorer (RRID:SCR_001775). Analysis of the colocalization between CCK and EGFP was limited to neurons with large soma, as these are known to be CB1+ basket cells (Szabó et al., 2014 (link)) and we did not find overlap between CCK and VIP in these cells in this mouse line. In addition, data for VIP+ and CR+ INs were combined.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of DRG and Skin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DRG and skin (hairy and glabrous) were dissected and fixed with 4% PFA for 2 h or O/N 4°C, respectively. Tissues were cryoprotected in 30% sucrose in PBS O/N at 4°C, then embedded in OCT medium (Leica). Both DRG and skin were sectioned at a thickness of 40 μm using a cryostat (Leica). Sections were then treated with cold 50% ethanol for 30 min, followed by 2% BSA-0.3% Triton-X in PBS blocking solution for 1 h at RT, and finally incubated with primary antibodies in blocking solution O/N at 4°C. Secondary antibodies were diluted in blocking solution and incubated for 2 h at RT. Sections were mounted using DAPI-Fluoroshield™ Medium (Sigma). All images were acquired at 40× with a Leica SP2 confocal microscope and analyzed with ImageJ-Fiji (NIH, MD, 312 USA).
The following primary antibodies were used: 1:300 mouse anti-TRPV1 (Neuromics), 1:50 mouse anti-TrkA (MNAC13, 5.4 μg/μl) (105 (link)), 1:200 mouse anti-CGRP (Immunostar), 1:100 isolectin GS-B4-biotin conjugate (Invitrogen), 1:300 guinea pig anti-PV (Synaptic Systems), 1:200 rabbit anti-TH (Millipore), 1:500 mouse anti-NF200 (Sigma), 1:200 rabbit anti-PGP9.5 (Dako-Agilent), 1:300 guinea pig anti-VAChT (Synaptic System). All Alexa-conjugated secondary antibodies were used at 1:1000 concentration.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
